Conquer your ArtBlock
DamaiMikaz published a journal on deviantART about art block and various ways of fighting it and overcoming it!
-In their journal, they state:
A little science to help you
"Doing art might seem like it takes you only one skill to get there, while in reality you need two.
The skill to observe (visual skill)
The skill to make art (physical skill)
While in the perfect situation the level of these 2 skills will match, in reality they often don't. Hence leading to either thinking your art is perfect and not improving because your visual skill doesn't match up to your drawing skill. Or thinking your art totally sucks because your physical skills don't match up to the process of evaluating art in your mind (the latter one often comes with lack of physical practice). Needless to say, the last situation will often lead towards an art block. But knowing how this actually works, might make things better. Because while you might think your artistic skills totally suck, you're actually really skilled at seeing art, and you're probably on the brink of a great improvement -- if you just find the will to push it."
