I'm kind of with you, I just can't put idea on paper

"If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough." -- Mario Andretti.

I know exactly how you feel. I've been going through something similar, and it's kind of hard to jump-start your art after having not drawn for a large span of time.

I guess the biggest thing is not to give up. Just doodle. Do what you want to. But I think your art is great. We are oftentimes our own worst critics. Take this for example:

Tell me what you think of that illustration, and then I'll tell you my personal feelings on it.

We can all be hard on ourselves. Either we are too kind to our own works, or we are too harsh. The key is to do the artwork for ourselves -- we're only letting others have the opportunity to see what we find to be pleasing to ourselves. It doesn't have to be good, it just has to be fun. After all... if you're not having fun doing it, why do it?

And then, to improve, we ask for serious critiques from other people. If nobody else spots the error that you yourself spotted, then it's not an issue. And if they spot something that you didn't, it's not a big deal... just something that you can remember the NEXT time you do a piece.

Hehe. I know that was kind of a long comment, but I guess my advice is this: don't give up. Do what you enjoy. Enjoy what you do. If that means that you go from painting to snapping photos or making home movies, do it! We're behind you all the way.

I find it easier for me to doodle when I'm forcing myself to stay awake in class (Air Force frowns on sleeping in class even if I have a 98.5% Average) Which after some time of not having anything come to me when I try to draw, I've started picking up speed again.

What you feel, is ok! it's never gonna change anyway

I guess I find myself in the same situation. The past 2 years I had little to no time to draw and I can feel it. Now that Im a housewife Im trying very hard to get back into it, but as I draw I notice the mistakes and hate the piece.. so I move onto something else (as a result I have a few unfinished drawings and lots of cookies and fudge in the house). But I do try really hard, I continue on it the next day, trying to improve what I've done

Kinda having same matter on majority of pictures... But don't give up!

My gallery. Have fun ^^

I know how you feel right now. I had a particularly bad bout of a block, down to the point of not being able to do any kind of coloring or drawing over all. I found myself trying to get some inspiration, and looking through some old cartoons I used to watch as a kid as well as some good laughs from Mystery Science Theater 3000 and some other things, amongst them also trying out some drawing exercises and looking back on old stuff I did. It also helped that I was in a graphic design class this semester.

-Crow, MST3k "The Sword and the Dragon"

I know how you feel, I can't get the enthusiasm at all right now, for weeks... when I do force myself to do any drawing (as I have been doing) I'm not satisfied with anything. The rational side of me knows and accepts that it always goes in waves, and when you're not feeling it you can't force it, you have to sit it out and it will return. But the impatient side of me wants art, now.

hope it doesn't bug you too long.

I know the feeling. I guess sometimes you just need a break and try other things and comeback. And if that doesn't do the trick you can always look at your old art and compare, it always makes me feel better to see how much I've actually improved, and it helps motivate to keep on going.
