Have you ever tried to draw some thing and just couldn't? I sat down one day ready to draw for at least a couple of hours and i couldnt get any thing out on paper. Some times i think you have to be in the right mood to get the inspiration juices going. By the way ninja turtles rule!!!!!

Yea everyone get's boulder on arms some times.You mainly just have to some other things 4 awhile , and soon u get this real urge to draw. and well so be it.

Drawing isn't spos to work, it's meant to free ur mind on a canvus, be it paper, stone, or a computer screen. Expressing what's in ur head in a visual way 4 everyone to see.

(side note: if u like "TMNT, u might wanna download/find vanila ices ninga rap song/ great tune if ur in turtle mood!)

Hmm my drawer's block has lasted a year now... Haven't drawn anything decent since then, and I don't really care

I can say that I've never had "Drawer's Block" but I've frequently been a victim of Drawer's Burnout.... That is that when you are in the middle of a really complex piece with a lot of potential, and you start getting overly perfectionist about it, you start to get stressed out and it starts to suck the fun out of the work like a proverbial leach. Usually, the most fun I get out of a drawing comes after the first 30 minutes into it... but on pieces that can take hours, sometimes you end the final hours working on it in a depressive, unproductive slump.

well whenever i get stuck on thinking of drawing sumthing and nothing comes out of it, then usually ou should just start with a simple RANDOM shape and start from there. Lotsa things can come outta a ugly circle ya kno, or if ur drawing a human character just draw a eye very fast and dun even think about refining the lines just draw along with wat u have. I think that should get rid of that drawing block thingy. Its fun to see wat random things can come outta it.

Hahha, so true

Sometimes the drawing brings out the artist in you rather than you the artist bringing out the drawing. ^_-

Yeh, I get that a lot. I guess it's good to have some solid focus on exactly what you want to achieve when you sit down and try to draw. Without focus it can be difficult to get your mind in gear to draw something good.

Sometimes I have days where I have ideas and can't draw, or I can draw but have no ideas, so you can just scribble down doodles for the days you can't draw and have something to start on when you can

Also I have ideas book which is just full of images I like from cards and newspapers, you never know what will poke your brain into gear.
