Many painters suffer from art block, a condition that affects the painter so that he does not have the ability to draw or color or everything related to art, and not only that, but it is also related to animation, although many love art and want to continue the journey , So I will give you some models that I have been applying in order to get rid of boredom and return with full vitality to drawing.
Watch anime
I remember once, that I watched the anime "Attack on Titan", and I was very bored at that time, because I had turned off my computer and stopped drawing because of "art block", and I played the first episode of "Attack on Titan", I liked With the graphics and the method of shading, and I enjoyed watching the episode, and after a few minutes passed, I got excited to create and design a similar animation scene, and actually I put my phone near the office and turned on the computer, and started to animate the anime scene, although I only minutes ago I was tired of stirring.
From here we understand that watching anime, will increase your enthusiasm in order to draw or move, especially when you feel the challenge "to be able to keep up with this anime and make a scene similar to it", and from that moment, whenever I get bored of the anime, I watch episodes of Japanese anime , until I regain my passion for motion.
Watch drawing videos
Did you know that this is one of the most effective ways to solve the ArtBlock problem? There are a lot of YouTube channels that publish "speed paint" videos, which are drawing anime or manga characters from scratch until the end in an accelerated video.
Watching such videos is one of the most effective ways to eliminate the boredom of drawing, because you watch the steps of drawing, erasing, redrawing the face, arms, and coloring, with the method of shading down to the backgrounds, and here you will be encouraged to do a similar work, because you see the steps and You try to apply it, and this will encourage you to unlock your device and draw immediately.
You can also see animation and drawing education sites, in order to take ideas and do drawing steps, such as my website
Watch anime drawings
There are many accounts of anime or cartoonists on Instagram, where you are surprised by the amount of work and talents that these artists have, I strongly advise you to follow them and try to imitate the closest drawing style to your style.
When you come across an amazing drawing on Instagram, don't you feel fascinated? This is what happens to me, as when I see a new drawing, I study it, how inking is done, the colors used, and the position of the body, and I keep checking the drawing. It's not difficult, and I really can do the same.
This is the summary of what I reached, in how to draw and get rid of art block, or as I call it “the boredom of painting” or “the boredom of art”, as we really have an unbridled desire to draw, but there is a barrier that prevents us from that, whether it is emptiness, sadness or preoccupation And I found that I suffer from this a lot, so I decided to write my experience, which I am sure will benefit you.
