Description
This must be the most useful tutorial I have submitted yet.Results guaranteed.
Hard to pick a category for this considering its... ah... somewhat parodic nature! It was my response to the fact that I've loafed around being unproductive for the past month and a half.
I hope it provides some amusement.
I forgot to say that it was suggested by the lovely ~Eeyore4444 (the queen of art block, or rather, the queen of not posting anything in her gallery. Ever) - I'm sorry hun!
Edit: I can't believe it. I think that writing this may well have cured my art block. That's it, guys! The solution is to take the mickey!

Maybe I should write a tutorial on how to not understand a joke

Whether or not professional artists experience art block or not, I wouldn't know. But I would definitely not be surprised is they did. Whatever you might think, the majority of the world knows that it is NOT easy to simply turn on a constant stream of creativity like a faucet. Writers get writer's block, especially professional writers. Do you think they're "simply being lazy"? Art takes a considerable amount of thought, preparation, and planning. All true artists know this, especially those who do it for a living. Art is one of the most creative mediums in existence, and tapping into this universe of possibilities is not easy, it is daunting and difficult.
I, personally, feel as if you have entirely disrespected art, as well as all those who practice it.

i personally feel as if you didn't understand anything i said. its not hard to go outside look at a bush and try to draw it in a creative way... its really not. regardless of what u think you know.. you are very wrong. artblock is stupidity and laziness. i NEVER get artblock. do u think Da Vinci had artblock? no. he didn't. don't believe me ask him! oh wait you cant~! so sdfu unless you have anything nice to say. 👍: 0 ⏩: 2
You're basing you're whole comment on only your own experience, while the other person have a whole art community behind her back

not understanding and disagreeing are two different things. it is true, you can just go outside and draw a bush, and at most times you can draw it in a creative way. but other times you just can't. and if you didn't have the bush in front of you to reference from, it could end up being difficult to invent one. there's no call to be rude, either. art block is NOT stupidity, and it is NOT laziness. you say that we can't ask Da Vanci, which is obvious (so there is no need to speak as if i am an ignorant little kid), but since you cannot ask him personally, how on earth could you possibly claim that he did not get art block? find some way to prove it to me, and perhaps i'll begin to believe you.
lastly, you are being a hypocrite if you think that i am the one who doesn't have anything nice to say.
P.S. just because you say "no offense" does not mean that it isn't offensive.

obviously you are way too naive to understand 2 things. 1.. i do understand and didnt read 1/2 of that no offence.
2. No Offence means i dont mean to offend you even though you may be offended. hence the use of the word you ignorant child.

I'm allergic to stupidity. Please, just who is the naive one here? Clearly you lack the, ahem, experience to go through the first stage of 'Art Block', resulting in your lack of knowledge. Before you try to start up a proper argument, learn some grammar and proper spelling. Only then will you be capable of explaining your "Opinion" properly.
'Art Block' does exist. You just aren't capable of experiencing it yet.

i think it's time you deflated your large head and acknowledged that people can be right other than you. your arrogance makes me sick.
p. s. no offense >.>
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lolol. i think its time you stop skipping class you idiot. insulting someone then saying no offense is not what i did nor is it right dumb hypocrite.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
stop. just stop. there is no reason to leave an insult anytime someone contradicts you. it is not right to act the way you have done, you have only made a fool of yourself.

you spelled my name wrong.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I assumed it was. but don't you think it's a bit immature to tell me to " stop skipping school" and then keep spelling things incorrectly and forgetting to use manners one usually learns in kindergarten? and then call me a hypocrite?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes i am. i rarely misspelled anything. you would know that if you could read.
