Im inspired by a lot of things, the problem with me is my will to pick up a pen and start sketching. I keep comparing myself to others and how amazing other artists are, and i feel terrible because i havnt really improved at all, 22 years old and i dont really have a path i want to follow. And my depression makes it worse, it drains me if all my energy and drive to do anything. I wonder, why should i be an artist if there are so many others better than me? I still remember these awful words someone once told me “you shouldn’t waste time on a hobby”. Art is so much more than that for me but i have so many blocks and worries. I love art so much but, im also fighting to find a purpose in life. Being an artist suffering depression is awful.

I've been going through this for months. I haven't felt like really drawing anything since March. I know I need to and that I'm wasting time. But I just don't want to do anything.

Some times you need A3 mixed media or watercolour paper from canson than a canvas to lift up you, re art block. Thats what i did yesterday and today and it worked OMG. I was so so😱 amazed and happy. I paint only whit acrylic 7 colours from liquitex. They are Cadmium red middle hue, Cadmium yellow middle hue, Cobalt blue hue, mars black, Titanium white, silver and gold and i use a sketch set from alliexpress whit all black pencils😍 i love black pencil, s better than grey pencils. I love you, re paintings

What gets me is music. Plus this pandemic has left me with a black void deep inside. I have done no Art hardly whatsoever during lockdown. But it's finally coming back. Thank God. Also sometimes at night before i go to sleep. I look at some of my previous works of Art. As it inspires me a lot. I know my talent and i know what i'm good at and what i'm not so good at. I'm always trying to perfect my craft no matter what it is. Cause that's the sole purpose to life is to never stop learning. Like my Grandad always said to me. "The moment we stop learning is the day we'll die." And i think even then we still will be learning. Learning something new is cool. It's when you stop. That's when you know you're in trouble. Trust me.

I now paint whit oil and watercolours no acrylic paint. I love this piece of you

[adamasartislife]

❤❤❤thank you! And your painting is amazing!

[brittneyrockx]

Definitely one of my favourite paintings you've ever made ghostskull and butterfly poison are my two all time favourite paintings ever!! Thank you so much for all the inspiration

[nancyharb]

This is exactly what i needed to see today, I've been super sad and demotivated recently, especially with art, and this was super helpful to watch :)

[lillyarocho]

Thank you so much for your motivation tips

I use James Burke swatch dolls to stop starring with nothing coming to my mind, it kick starts starting and using the dolls starting basic and in the end I’m colour in the clothing and then it ignited me to draw something that came to mind

I think we all feel this way more often than we'd like, which is a huge bummer, but it does come with the territory. I'm actually feeling this way right now while I'm trying to find a brand new style of drawing. I've been absolutely frustrated with myself for several weeks now. It's daunting, but I agree that if we just take a step back, breathe, and get our minds off it for a while that everything will eventually fall into place. It just takes time 💜
Beautiful piece, btw. Those trees are stunning 😍

[liziaweber]

really like the atmosphere of this drawing, and the color palette

[kinseyallen]

You are an absolute inspiration. I’ve watched literally all of your videos. To be honest there is only one thing I’ve wanted to see you attempt. I just would love to see your style or version of a kitsune (nine tailed fox/girl). Please keep creating art it’s all beautiful to me and helps inspires me.

I really like this piece. The green in the background is so pretty.

[fuzzydragons]

So much lovely green 🧡😃 sometimes our brains just need an art break, creating is a lot of hard work

[Pralexart]

Great video this week and a great piece. Always a blast seeing your process.

[msrandomgirl]

I loved this video— It made me feel less alone and had great advice! Thank you! I was curious, in the beginning it seems like you are transferring what you’ve drawn onto the wood drawing board. I am curious what steps you take and how you manage it as I like to sketch and draw my pieces digitally/on paper— but my final pieces always end up on wood panels or canvas and I’ve always struggled finding the perfect way to transfer the drawing- if you could do a video about that or direct me to some other info to figure that out I’d be super grateful! I love your artwork soo much!

[doodleyournoodles]

I love this video because you get to see what really inspires you and for me it is you. Thanks for being awesome! OwO
love that painting the background is one earthy color and the focal point is where all the detailed coloring is. I really makes the girl pop. I love it! XD

[lifeismusicparnadonkers]

I draw and then i paint over my drawings whit oil, acrylic or watercolour paint.

This happens to me all the time it's so annoying
