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!

Too funny!
Admittedly, I've fallen into many of those traps! hmmm... will help me stay aware of them, or at least help me catch myself and chuckle at the silliness...

Liked the last part the most!

So bloody true! Hahaha! I can't tell you how many new images I've started, changed colors, attempted sketches, and screamed over how much I suck. Rofl. However, thanks to you and some of your other tutorials,(And some practice) the suckness is going away more and more! Thank you!

heh! i love being reminded that awesome people are also procrastinationg and occasionally uninspired humans, too
i tried to follow... but I'm running out of media...gag... it's not working >_< (28 distinct media, not counting ones i am too crap at to continue.)
I'm one of those people who have too many awesome ideas, not enough time... my 'block' is 'wtf do i finish first?- wait, i better sketch this before i forget...' and so nothing gets done, ever, rather than not being able to think of any ideas (i love adobe illustrator. the page can go as big as I want. I can draw a chain chomp, a bead-plan, mario, a sewing pattern, some skulls, another pattern, a chain-drawing tutorial, some amulet press to cut on the scrollsaw, a machine schematic that i'll never bother making, and a giant sun-carrying scarab to decorate a laptop all on the one page.
the problem comes when a) naming the file b)locating the one with the dodle i want to finish c) opening the thing and getting distracted by all the options

Friggin' hilarious and so true! We have to be able to laugh at art block, or else we'd truly lose ourselves in the despair of it

This describes my creative process to the T! xD This is scarily accurate. I'm glad to find out that it's not just me who does this! X___x; It happens alot of the time, hence the reason why I never get round to drawing anything at all~ I'm too scared to.
I lol'd all the way through this. It's awesome, and I don't see why anyone should take offense to it! Just a harmless bit of fun.

I knew I was going about my art block the wrong way. I feel like my lack of creativeness should have SOME guideline behind it x)
Many lols were had.

LoL! It's like I've seen this already and followed most of the steps. I've done from the start all the way to before the poetry. I don't like reading, thus dislike writing... But I'm going to take AP English next year... lolol... But this is hilarious none the less.

lol this made me laugh. I had art block for over a year and a half and I'm not sure I'm back yet. I think I'm at the 'maximising inefficiency' stage 4 or 5.

I've seen plenty of tuts on this site, but a tutorial on the fine art of non-arting? Now I've seen everything xD
In all truth, though, I've been following those steps long before I came upon this ._.
Love your tutorials ^_^
