These days have been tough. Haven't been able to get a single idea out, just making a bunch of trash while trying to brute force my way out of this. Art block's been bothering me every once in a while and I just have no idea how to stop it... What I learned so far is that listening to more music does help a lot.

It's probably burnt out. It's natural, I tend to draw for a month straight, only to dissapear for a while shortly after.

You should take a rest and spend time on other activities you like. You can also brute force through it by doing a bunch of doodles using reference pictures, you'll eventually warm up enough to get close to your usual state. Music helps a lot too.

Just don't push yourself too hard and try to take it easy, Artblock doesn't last that long and your art usually gets even better than before the Artblock after the whole ordeal.

Sometimes you gotta take a breather.
