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!

About that thing with opening up a large canvas in Photoshop, etc... Guilty as charged! Usually my block ends when I switch to the good old pencil and paper, though. This is also pretty funny.

Fantastic, is just what I needed to know. whenever I have a block of sorts I'm going to re-read this. It reminds me of my darker, emo art days when I was younger and in school... Ah how we can look back and laugh.
Seriously, something about reading it, even though I'm laughing at your great sense of humour

Wow, the funny thing is, so many of these apply to me when I'm on particularly bad art blocks! Especially step one under "Maximizing Inefficiency." That one actually had me laughing out loud.
Very true and very funny. Great work!

Oh it's so true xD Though I usually stop at step #6 and not try again.
And this made me remember how boring Fable got after I completed it for the first time :/
But it also made me want to draw again, but as I know myself I'll just maximise inefficiency using #5

90% of that happens to me practically everyday.
Especially browsing through art to get inspiration only to end up thinking I suck even more. D:
(When I have an art block, I usually only get as far as opening the new canvas. Then I stare at it for a while, and just quit.)
And so I have taken on sad poetry as well.

Teehee! - you're quite clearly the epitome of art block, then!
However, if this will help at all, you certainly shouldn't think you suck. I just looked at your gallery, and I'm a bit confused about who's who in the shared account (
