Description
I've been having a serious case of art block for a while now. kickassking suggested drawing how I felt, so I did this. I also decided I'd start a tumblr blog called #ArtistProblems where I draw pics of things that really happen to artists all the time and really suck. I'll post them here too so you don't actually have to follow the blog. Here's the link for those of you who DO want to follow it: hashtag-artistproblems.tumblr.…Reminder: Commissions are still open and payments can be made here: mane6swag.tumblr.com

I have permanent block from everything that involves non-school-related work. I have no self-motivation whatsoever, even though I want to make music and art and literature with a passion. WHY MUST I BE SO LAZY?!

Maybe it'd help to have someone pester you about it? I don't know much about music or literature(I can sing and have a guitar that sits in the corner of my living room, but I don't make any music, and I'm an editor for a fanfic, but haven't written one of my own), but for drawing, I'd suggest taking part in art challenges, like the Newbie Artist Training Grounds. Equestria Daily hosts one once a year, and that's where I got my start.

Your OC looks very tied. This might sound a bit scary but... go to sleep.

I feel your pain. I had same problem. Try taking a small brake from the art. When you get need to continue art making you will have more inspiration

I've been taking a break, but I really need to get back in the saddle so to speak. Now I think it's time to get back to plugging along at my list of stuff-to-draw.

Tried doodles?
I know everyone say that, but making A4 sheet of paper full of
random drawings do help move your brain.
Like, take a page and draw untill you have to place to go.
