EyekooDrawsStuff | Thoughts and tips on beating art block.... We've all been there @EyekooDrawsStuff | Uploaded May 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Can't draw today? Art block is something that we all go through, sometimes more than once and more frequently that we'd like. Whether you're a painter, a writer, a sculptor, or an animator, art block is normal thing to go through, especially as beginners on the journey.
The causes for art block will vary from one person to the next, but the three main ones for me have to do with self-doubt and confidence as an artist, being overloaded with content, and not really knowing what I want to say with my art at times.
Maybe your experience of it is similar to mine, so hopefully this helps some of you better understand it and feel encouraged to fight through that art block.
We're all different so I'd love to hear from you in the comments about what triggers art block for you and how you deal with it.

The painting:
The digital painting timelapse shown in this art block video is still a work in progress. It's been a while since I spent time on a painting of my own but I'm not sure where it's going yet.
Software: Clip Studio Paint.
I've never tried to do a full painting in in Clip Studio Paint, and it's about time I gave it a shot. It did slow me down quite a bit though trying to get familiar with new software.

Drawing tablet: Huion Inspiroy Giano
Huion sent me this tablet to review which I'm slowly getting to. So far, I love this tablet and the pen experience has been fantastic.
