I finally broke through some artist block and made a new drawing. Honestly? It felt so good just to put something on paper again. Artist block hits all of us. Sometimes it feels like you’ve lost your spark, sometimes you just don’t want to make anything, and sometimes life just gets in the way. But picking up the pen/brush/whatever again, even if it’s messy or weird, is kind of magic. ✨ I’m curious How do you work past artist block? Do you doodle random stuff, switch mediums, take a break, or just push through until something clicks? Share your tricks with me! I’d love to know how you all climb out of the rut when it shows up. And that’s why I love this community! We get to be real about the stuck moments and celebrate when the spark comes back.

I was feeling so anxious that I wouldn't be able to make a successful portrait, I've been so focused on other business admin type stuff, my other job and other life stuff. I decided I needed to work through it so I wouldn't get caught in a perpetual loop of worry and besides, even if I did struggle practice would only get me closer to my goals. Glad I persisted, this is the result.
