art block is your brain telling you to do studies.

draw a still life. practice some poses. sketch some naked people. do a color study. try out a different technique on a basic shape.

art block doesnt stop you from drawing, it stops you from making your drawings look the way you want them to. and thats because you need to push your skills to the next level so you can preform at that standard

Write a description of an object. write the weather today. Write a made up characterization of a random photo of an actor from the internet as to the character they are in that picture. Write a little story about your pet’s day. Write about spilling soup and make it super dramatic and tragic. Write about someone’s day being ruined and make it funny. Write a meetcute coffeeshop AU of two OCs you’d never put together- maybe from different stories. Write them breaking up.

And when he shows it to everybody at the museum they're all just like:

Before there was Moo Deng, there was William.

This little blue hippopotamus, known affectionately as William, has been a fan favorite at The Metropolitan Museum of Art for over a century. Dating back to Egypt’s Middle Kingdom (c. 1961–1878 BCE), William was likely placed in tombs to offer protection in the afterlife.

His bright faience glaze and lotus decorations connect him to the Nile’s waters—but don’t let his charm fool you! Ancient Egyptians knew that hippos were both revered and feared, making William a powerful symbol. He epitomizes the Egyptian craftsmanship of the era.

..Is it possible for you to do a fashion and fragrance study for my OC Hoshi?

it would be my PLEASURE!!

for outfits, it looks like hoshi has a very sweet, yet fun and playful style possibly even influenced by a little bit of lolita. we're going to play into this a LOT.

for a fun and playful look, i would assign hoshi something like this from chanel's ss25 collection

i don't love a ton of chanel's recent looks, but i really like this one. the pastel colors are very easy on the eye, but the patterns on it give it an added touch of playfulness.

this look is from the same collection, and i think it equally suits hoshi. the romper also plays into the schoolgirl vibes of the outfit you have her in already.

now i mentioned lolita above. it looks like hoshi's style isn't full-on lolita, but takes some inspiration from it. this dress is from kimberly gordon, and takes inspiration from girls' clothing in the victorian era. this dress is actually very similar to what hoshi has on, so i know she'd like it.

lastly for fragrance, i recommend ouai "melrose place"

i own this fragrance, and i have to say, it's gone triple platinum in my house. this is a soft, fresh, sweet, youthful rose fragrance. it's noticeable, but not overpowering. many rose fragrances smell very grandmotherly, but not this one. the energy of this fragrance echoes hoshi's style, and that's why i think she'd like it.
