For me Art is something i loved to do but always sucked at :(
Sadly now im at a Point in my Life where even tho i do have the Time i just feel like the “flow” has gotten completely out of me even tho i do have all these Cool Ideas :(

Like i literally have my Drawing Tablet right next to me hooked up and nope just seem to get anything on Paper even at an Cringey MSPaint Level :(

Does anyone have any Tips for it? :(
Like i woudlnt consider myself Lazy or being Ashamed of creating even Noob Lebvel ARt but yea just thats something that is annoying me right now :(

    make sure you’re getting hedonistic and eudaimonistic time.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eudaimonia

    Spend a little bit off time loosening up and having simple fun, like watching TV or playing a game with a short gameplay loop that makes you feel like you’re having fun immediately (eg some rougelike). Then, when you feel like you blew off some steam, give drawing something a go.

    The drawing has a skill check before you can feel good about it, so once you have loosened up with the hedonistic fun, you can enjoy the challenge of the more worthwhile/long term skill based activity.

    I try to do about 15 min to 30 min of the hedonistic activity, then get into the harder task.

    Bread on penguins has a video on how to be productive by just setting up your work environment to get the ball rolling, but I can’t find the specific video now
