I'm afraid of losing my love of drawing

what drove me to draw before

Comments

Literally just started my digital art journey a year ago and i’ve felt this way so many times already 😭 I think always going back to the basics of what moved you and inspired you is a good way of keeping motivated and preventing love of the craft from seeming like a chore, hoping you stay inspired🤎

it’s ok to feel down at some topics, if that’s what you really love doing, you’ll eventually go back to it!!

sorry to hear!! i dunno about you but i really enjoy drawing SETS of things, like oh i'm gonna draw a whole bunch of [X], it's fun to gradually build up a big ol collection of little drawings under a larger umbrella and very easy to get carried away.

shit like "i'm gonna draw shadow at 20 different workplaces" or "i'm gonna draw a klonoa based on very final fantasy class" etc etc

Fair enough

Taking a time off, maybe trying different materials, different techniques, anything really that can shake the creative juices may help with willingness to draw!

heather666.bsky.social•184 days ago

Me too
I just cannot draw recently, maybe im suferring a burnout?? But idk honestly, i just hope it doesn't affect me for much long

I did all thru school. Having a pen and paper and listening to a lecture makes me draw a lot.

Just came in from Brazil! X’s suspended here. What’s up?

evilrobotcat.bsky.social•184 days ago

You won't. Even if you want to stop drawing, it will claw its way back to the surface. I tried once.

Been feeling the same with reading, I just don’t get excited or eager to read books anymore and it feels like a chore that I’m always putting it off and end up not reading at all for like weeks

johnwart.bsky.social•185 days ago

I think the answer is different for each person, but maybe going back to drawing for yourself!, maybe doing what you enjoy can help bring that feeling back, try to focus having fun rather than seeking perfection, that’s what made it fun when we all started. It’s about returning to the roots i think
