Frustration

Thu Apr 23, 2009, 11:37 PM
I'm sitting here, and practically pulling my hair out in frustration.
This is just another in a long string of many many nights where I park myself in front of blank paper, and stare at it. Nothing is coming out. Even my normally fruitful visits to the gym, or the toilet, are for naught--no ideas spring forth in vivid colour, ready to be spilled onto the paper.
I feel the pages are beginning to mock my failure. Taunting me with the blank whiteness, insulting my lack of inspiration. My sketchbooks are full of old ideas, jotted down in a moment of overwhelm in an effort to preserve the concept for a time like this, but even old ideas fail to get my fingers moving.
My poor Copics are gathering dust in a corner, and it hurts my heart.

Hey you, just recently had my internet and phone hooked up after moving. I vote that you do more of your Zombie Slayer pics and do up some zombies, or draw a male character or two, just a thought, hope you feel better.

Oh no. I do that all the time :hug:

The only thing that has helped me, in terms of inspiration, is picking something out of the norm that I normally do (lately, animals) and reading flowery Victorian literature (I highly recommend Lord Dunsany [link] - you can get his stuff via Project Gutenberg - [link] )

:hug: I hope that helps~

Don't give up- inspiration always comes, even when and where you least expect it! I checked out your gallery and it's incredible. I can't offer any suggestions on how to gain more inspiration, as my mind is about as reliable as an old Model T, but know that I'm rooting for you!
