Bored, Lonely...and having some artist block.
« on: April 18, 2015, 08:56:19 PM »
Hey !
Well you may have seen me around but I really need some help...
I'm having terrible artist block. Everything I've been drawing just isn't good. And I have no idea's for new art. Maybe it cause I haven't spoken to people much, and my socially awkward personality is telling me to go out there and meet new people.
But anyway...if you can help or give me any ideas. I would be soooooooooo thankful ^~^

Are you familiar with any art blogs?

When I was a graphic artist I used to go on Adubzeedo all the time to look at their "daily inspiration" from other graphic artists. It always gave me great ideas and themes to work with.

You should try looking for what drives you. What motivates you? Is it friendship, nature, music or some sort of emotion? Draw based around that. I tend to find similar difficulties in my writings, unless I'm in just the right condition with just the right amount of a certain type of thought going through my head, because those precise things are what drive me to write. If you do enjoy drawing, I would take some time to relax, draw more casually. Listening to music as you draw may help, as that can relax you, or hype you. I don't exactly have a good idea for what you should draw, but I hope my advice helps.


Thanks and have a wonderful day,
Dr. Alka P. Wolf

In reality, I'm not actually a doctor. I like to think of myself as one since I have saved lives (2 that I know of as of this post) but "Dr." is just part of my OCs name

I know lol I was just messing around. Don't take me to literally.
But I did get a little of my craft back taking the advice I was given. In a few minutes I drew this. I did it today during my first hour. I'm so happy but its still pretty shitty...

Her hand needs to be more feminine. But a feminine bat hand...that's kinda hard...her hairline and eyes upset me a bit...and the. Clothing lacks detail. Also the ears are cringe worthy ._. I'm so sorry. I criticize the f*ck out of myself...

Your art style is amazing!
When I'm having a period of artist's block, I take simple requests. I make the people requesting give me an IDEA for a pose and a backstory of their character along with a song.  I let all of these influence something I think would go with the character.
When that doesn't help, I find putting art away for  a day or so and trying art in a different medium then I'm used to helps a ton!
Also possums always help
always possums

Bats have feminine looks?



Yes they do ^~^ if you look at a male bat there more muscular and a bit larger. But there noses are usually larger. Female bats have skinnier appendages and are a lot smaller. There ears are usually larger than a males along with the breast.

This would be a male and female fruit bat.
Male is on top.
Female on bottom.
