Usually I can solve art block by drawing from reference. I will just watch a video or movie and then pause it and draw the scene. Works everytime.

1-I will normaly sit and write my ideas instead of ignoring them so when my art block flys i can come back to my ideas and it helps.👏👏
2-i do redraw old drawing which is helpfull since i dont put lots of brain in it..👏👏💃🐓
3-I do not think about it alot and kinda forget that i draw so i dont get tierd of thinking 👀.
4-i draw a fast doodle in the middle of the page and start writing my thoughts aroud it 😃.
Thats what i do yaaay 😂..

Whenever I get art block, I look at your videos and feel a lot better after that. I think it's because of how you speak about all that stuffs, like it's okay and fine, and it will get surely better. Thank you so much, Jel :, )

I just love listing to you talk while I sketch it’s just so relaxing ❤️😄

I usually draw fanart from books I like. Interpreting the characters, scenery, or drawing your own characters can be relaxing and engaging

Pinterest helps me a lot with getting ideas. I have a million boards lolol.

Seeing you paint is motivating me to go and draw now too!
I like watching art videos when I draw.

I honestly real, t needed this video right now. I suddenly got an assignment for AP art that I didn’t know about that’s due tonight and I’ve been stressing and freaking out because nothing I had been trying or working on for the project wasn’t working and I just keep trying new things and the idea I’m working on for the project now actually looks good. Taming the break and waiting until this morning was the right choice for me.

I know this video is old and you probably don't read the comments, but I just have to tell you how much your videos inspire me. You're so down to earth and it's so refreshing to hear your perspective on things. It's helped me a lot, since you describe a lot of the thought processes I go through and feel, and it's helped me pick art back up. Now I'm improving way more than I thought I ever would, I'm going out of my comfort zone, and while technically I've done it myself, I still wanted to thank you for your videos! They've helped me out a lot :)

My favorite thing is also going on Pinterest, but I have this habit of being on there too long which makes it overwhelming for me to try and go back to my own sketchbook. But thank you for the advice, I'll try and remember it. Also, those were some great art pieces, you've got a fun style. The first page and the cat were my absolute favorites, really nicely done. <3

I’ve been going through art block for a couple of weeks now (since getting back from an unexpected trip). It’s the worst time to get it since I have a showcase next month that I’m behind on creating art for... it’s a relief to hear you advise everything I’ve been doing to try and break through that wall...

[robyn]

I hope you keep uploading your art tips for a long time. It gives me so much motivation to keep drawing when no one around me just wants to spontaneously wanna go to a cafe just for a smol wholesome doodle date. Apparently, this is too much to ask so I'm left with sketching by myself. Until you upload, so I have someone to sketch and practice with! <3

JelArts: *posts*

Me: *watches video*

Me after the video: *inspiration strikes*

Me: I need to draw something NOW!

"look at your favorite artists"

[ghibbles]

I haven’t drawn as a habit for about a year now and I’m just getting back into it for the new year. I feel like I’m slogging through sketching things that used to make me feel good but don’t anymore... feel very down about my limitations and hate feeling like this: so it brings me hope to know that it’s an indicator that I’m going through a change in direction in my art journey. Just very anxious about it all!

[caedogeist]

I got sad watching you cover up the girl with the tape....but now I'm curious about those little bird like creatures, especially the one laying down haha

[meiznz]

What I do when I have art block (or when my drawing quality just decreased) I go and watch your videos, then I go to Pewdiepie's to clear my mind off. If this doesn't work I go to pinterest and go to my boards like "ideas", "poses" and try to draw it in my style.
