Hi there guys and yes, I'm still alive. I hope you all are as well.

Maybe some of you remember how I've said that with this art block of mine (which I have had more or less for about a YEAR now) I feel like I can't draw a sh*t but gladly I have some unfinished works laying around so I could always get back to working on them if I can't do aynthing else? Well, yesterday I tried. Apparently since I have last time tried to paint a background around January I have no more any idea how to paint digitally. Of course it doesn't help at all that I've long since forgotten which brush settings I used to have on my SAI before because I  LOST ALL OF THEM when my laptop's hard drive broke down.

Practise again, you say? It's the idea I've had as well. There's just this problem that you can't really call anything as "practise" if you may or may not have only two nights during a week when you might be able to properly immerse yourself in arting. I'm a slow worker, I can't get about anything done in only few hours so even trying feels like a waste of time.

I don't know if this block is actually caused by stress or what but I'm still kinda waiting to see if it gets over after I finish my school. Though if I'm not able to get back to drawing and painting for three years to come am I even able to start it again afterwards? With the current amount of decreasing in my skills I'm quite sure it would at least mean starting ALL OVER again. Well, that's to be seen.

I'll try my best with working when I just can on all the art I owe for people, especially a trade part and that raffle-prize ACEO. I know I owe other stuff for people too but you all know that I intent to not forget any of them. At least I think I have them all listed up somewhere around here...

I'll try not to bother you guys too often with these rants anymore, I certainly don't even know why I'm writing these down here in the first place. At least it's a bad way at showing that I actually do still exist here somewhere... Stay safe peeps! Waittiz is out o7

I can so relate to you as well. I just finished 5 years of art school and the stress of it created a major art block that I am still not completely over. It's hard when you only have an hour or 2 every couple nights to actually dedicate to creating work as you feel you need at least 3-6...

And yeah being away for so long can make you have to rethink how you created thingsXD I haven't done a digital painting in a long time tooXD 

While some people try to force their way out of it, I am just seeing if waiting it out can help...maybe it can be your mind telling you to take a break and be reflective on where you truly want to go as an artist:) There are no rules on how much art you need to have done in order to be an artist:D
