Found a bunch of old art!

I've talked about before having an artists block and that still is going strong. I miss being able to use art as an outlet for my emotions but I'm so busy and stressed out I don't get to have that time anymore. And if I do have time, i just don't have the motivation to make anything. I don't want to lose my imagination, but I truly feel like it's fading. How can I get over this block? My art was so much more happy and sweet back when i drew these (2016-2018) and since then it got more dark and gloomy. I feel like I am happier in life but now I can't even begin to try. I want that spark back 😔#drawing #artist #art #storytime #lemon8contest

... Read moreFeeling stuck in your artistic journey can be incredibly frustrating, especially when you look back at your older works with fondness. Many artists experience creative blocks at various stages. It’s crucial to acknowledge your feelings and understand they can be a natural part of the creative process. To combat artist's block, consider setting aside specific times for creation without pressure. Allow yourself to experiment without the fear of judgment; create just for fun. Additionally, immerse yourself in inspiration – visit art galleries, engage with fellow creators, or explore art-centric social media. Documenting your thoughts in a journal can help clarify your feelings and ideas for future art projects. Remember, your past artworks don't define you; they are part of your growth. Unleashing your imagination starts with embracing your current emotions and finding joy in the creative process again.

This is the post. It’s like you’re inside my mind. I love art so much. Look at all my unfinished products and it hurts because I knew I was so good and could’ve been but don’t have time to finish anything either:(
