I can't draw any more

[billyskank]

I've lost the knack. I just tried it and couldn't do it.

I have no drive. I'm bored, but can't motivate myself to do anything. This sucks. :(

[miss_american_pie]

1. I'm sorry

I go through phases where I can't write, and it sucks. :hug:

[billyskank]

19. 'pie

:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

2. I'm sorry billy

:hug:

I hope you get back to it again soon. There sure are enough beautiful ladies out there waiting to be drawn by you :)

:hug:

[billyskank]

18. That's for sure

It's not for lack of subjects. :hug:

[wildhorses]

3. oh my sweet billy...

:hug:

[billyskank]

15. Hey wildhorses

:hug:

[BarenakedLady]

Hey you

Me too. I've felt that for a long time now. :hug:

Not only that, I have my first art class for the semester tonight and I don't know what the hell to draw! My unfinished piece just sucks and I don't even feel like looking at it.

I wish I had something inspiring and magical to impart upon you.

Would it help if I told you I thought you were awesome, extremely talented, and cute as hell?

:loveya:

[billyskank]

14. I know that feeling

When you think your work looks simply dreadful, and you can hardly bear to glance at it? Sometimes I can put what I'm doing away and not look at it for weeks.

Thank you for your kind words. :hug:

:loveya:

[AirmensMom]

4. Oh, billy.

:hug: You're just not in the mood. That's the way it is with creativity.

I wish I could come over and give you a hug in person, but this will have to do. :hug: :loveya: :* :yourock:

[billyskank]

12. Why haven't I seen you much lately?

:hug: :*

:loveya:

[AirmensMom]

26. Because I've been swamped.

:shrug:

Had to go out and buy groceries today and make cat food when I got home. Just finished a little while ago. Tomorrow I have to meet with the builder. I think I get to stay home on Friday. Our grandson is coming to visit on Saturday for four weeks, so who knows what I'll be up to then?

I've missed being here, though. :loveya: :hug: :*

[billyskank]

27. Okay

well, I miss you, you know? :hug:

[AirmensMom]

28. That's nice to know.

:hug: I miss you when I'm not around, too. :hug:

5. you need some pain, maybe?

that always does it for me. I never feel motivated until I'm in soul-thrashing pain, then it all just comes spilling out.

Now for the good news...wait, there isn't any.

Or maybe if you just feel in love with a really hot girl so you would want to draw her?

[billyskank]

9. No, pain is really not my thing

I am usually feeling in love with a really hot girl and wanting to draw her. This is my default state. :)

[idgiehkt]

24. lucky you!

I wish I was that way. I'm the opposite. I'm a thorn bird, lol.

So I guess we need to find you a really hot girl to fall in love with, hmmm?

[billyskank]

25. Not really

I've really had enough of unrequited love. If I could genuinely accept celibacy, that would rock.

[idgiehkt]

36. I didn't say unrequited...

she might keep you so busy you wouldn't have time to draw. ;-)

[buddhamama]

6. i am sorry, Sweetie

it happens to the best. a muse is what you need. :hug:

[billyskank]

7. I am sure you're right

I think I also need someone to hug, and cuddle. And who knows, maybe even smooch some.

:hug:

[buddhamama]

11. ...

you will find your someone, Sweetie. in the meantime, :hug: :hug: :* :* :hug: :hug:

[billyskank]

22. I hope you're right

:*

:hug:

[datasuspect]

8. you lost the knack?

here i found them for you:

[billyskank]

10. Will they teach me to draw again?

[datasuspect]

13. they could probably teach you how to write a one hit wonder

that will get significant top 40 radio airplay.

[HEyHEY]

16. "When masturbation's lost its fun your fucking breaking."

[billyskank]

20. Uh oh

:scared:

[ThomCat]

17. I'm sorry.

I hope it's just a temporary block.

[billyskank]

21. I'm sure it is

I'm just like bleeargh at the moment. :(

[ThomCat]

23. "There's no such thing as gravity. The world just sucks"

I can empathize. Sometimes you just need to hang on and keep going until it passes.

[trof]

29. So...no longer a gunslinger?

DRAW! dammit!
;-)

on edit: jeez, I can't believe I typed "ginslinger".
I think my Freudian slip is showing.

[billyskank]

30. I useda be pretty fast

but now I'm all washed up.

[ghostsofgiants]

31. I know the feeling.

I haven't really done anything creative in months. x(

[graywarrior]

32. Hmmmm, I'm in the same situation.

[ZombieNixon]

33. We all have days like that.

Even me (:P). Fortunately I usually have another activity to fall back on if one isn't working out for me...animation, drawing, writing, languages, something...:pals:

[sakabatou]

34. I just can't draw...

However I still have digital editing skills.

[reyd reid reed]

35. Oh, sweetie

it'll come back, just don't push. Take a deep breath and put it away for now; before you know it, you'll be doodling on post-its and then....

:hug::hug:hug:

It'll be okay.

:loveya::loveya::loveya:

[Haole Girl]

37. You haven't lost it.

Just don't ever try my portrait! When I tried a self-portrait, in high school drawing, my teacher threw it in the trash and said that's where it belongs (I kid you not). It was truly the most difficult thing I've ever tried to draw!! I just have a weird face, I guess!!!

[TimeChaser]

38. It happens every now and then for me too

I ususually spend a week or two sketching scribbly doodles in notebooks and it'll come back on it's own.

[NewWaveChick1981]

39. You've just got artists' block.

:) I've known artists and writers and other creative people who just get to that point. Take a break and you'll feel like it another time. :D

:loveya:
