How many years has it been since I posted?

i feel you!!!! 

Thank you!! I love AU's more than I should since I draw it more often than canon stuff lol 

OH GOSH. This got buried. Umm.. I feel you there. I usually get into a slump or depressed state almost once a week LOL But in my case, I’d try to think of things that inspires me (to draw art or something that just inspires me not to be lazy). Usually it’s a headcanon for my OTP or looking at pretty works, be it fic or fanart.

From there, I’d try to doodle stuff roughly. Not the pretty detailed drawings you’d do as if you have to pass it to a prof and be graded, just simple doodles, chibi perhaps? No matter how dorky it looks like just keep at it. And think positive stuff like.. What’s the problem with his face? Is his eyes slanted? etc., then figure it out like it’s some game. It helps you develop your art too! Just don’t depress yourself. Drawing should be fun! :D

You can also, try copying. This works for me. I don’t know why but it does. Like, sometimes, I’d look at an official art I like and sort of copy it randomly on paper. Messy doodles is fine! Don’t copy it as it is if it’s difficult. You can draw their eyes, nose, ears, hair, hands separately too as if you’re practicing! Then start drawing the whole face then the body. Then maybe you can draw your own original idea later. Accompany it with a headcanon you like? Or look at some prompts or meme! Like that kind of meme where you have the bases and just put in the details of your characters? Or the draw yourself meme! :3

There’s also music! Music can stimulate you to work. I listen to music that fits the characters I draw. So when I draw RinRei for example, I will listen to their character songs & duet songs as well as their drama cd, on loop until I finish what I’m drawing (which sometimes takes days)! 

I’m not good with giving advice really, coz it differs from person to person. I just like experimenting on stuff when I’m in a slump. I hope it works for you too! ;w;
