creating art in the hard times

Contents ~~~~

can an artist really create through their art funk?

i dunno about other artists, but i find it difficult to create during times of art funkiness

 

art funk grows deep inside me making it difficult to create fully finished works of art. i am going through one of those times right now. it really sucks.

 

ive been sketching outfits from pretty little liars. it is something that doesn’t require all of my strength because i am simply copying what i see to the best of my abilities.
why do i have art funk?

my creativity ebbs and flows. there are times when i can create piece after piece without hesitation. this isnt one of those times.

 

im mentally disabled. so my ability to create is rather unpredictable. i have days where i cant get out of bed at all. lately it has been a constant dreadful feeling that has taken over my body.

 

my good days have been few and far between. so when i have a good day, i soak it up as best as i can.

will my art funk go away?

i believe so, yes. pain never lasts forever. 

 

not all my works of art ive made are bad. they just dont have the spark that i like. i also havent felt inspired lately.

what have i been doing to aide zieself during this time of funk?

i keep sketching. i never stop sketching. even if it is a five minute sketch, i draw it out. 

 

i also have been reading. reading has helped me clear my head and have a clean slate.

 

the most important thing i feel to keep in mind is to refrain from punishing zieself for being in this funk. that is easier said than done. i often feel like a failure if i cannot get anything done.

 

that is my mentally diseased brain talking and not the part of my brain i know says honest stuffs. I have to remind zieself of this everyday otherwise, i get overwhelmed and could potentially burnout.

 

i dont wanna burnout.

here are some of my sketches

i do hope you enjoy the art that i have made. even though it is only sketches, who knows? they could lead to something bigger.
