Did art used to be fun, but now it isn’t? Let’s talk about how to revive your motivation while I draw pipefox ramen with acrylic markers.
Reasons art despair happens:
1. Boredom
2. Perfectionism
3. Depression
4. Selling Art
Strategies to make art fun:
1. Address underlying issues (from the first list)
2. Remember why you started art in the first place
3. Do a different kind of art
4. Make trash
* The secret that’ll work every time? Quit. Quit making art for a while. Months, years, however long until you feel the call to do it again. (And not that unhealthy obsessive call; I know you can tell the difference.)
