- You feel stuck with your art? You don't know what to draw? No motivation?
Here's what I do to feel happy about my art again and find inspiration.
These are my 5 favourite things to do when I don’t know what to draw despite having the urge to create art. Sometimes you just need this small moment of success and then the motivation is coming back.
Recently I feel like an art block is hindering me from enjoying my work and the process of it.
I don’t know what to draw, where to start or I don’t even feel like starting at all.
If this sounds familiar to you, watch these tips you could try to get out of this frustrating phase.
Hope you enjoy! If you have any question feel free to ask~

The guy on twitter who keeps turning cans and bottles of beverage into those multilayered fluttery rich-fashioned character designs never ceases to amaze me
Right? It's insane. I am so inspired by them
Is it Rinotuna? I LOVE HIS DESIGNS SO MUCH!!!!
RINOTUNA!

You actually released the video exactly when I was bored and didn't know what to do with my drawing (it's like you're living in my mind lol), what an admirable senior! Thank you for always making useful videos. Wishing you success in your youtuber career!!
Woah what a timing then! I am glad. Making these videos is like helping myself and sharing this learning makes me happy. So I am wishing you all the best for your art 🙇♂️
This is exactly what i need.
When you said don't search for anything too 'big', i just realised how much preasure that I've given to myself..
I am really thankfull for your explanation, even though your style isn't really what i was going for..the tips you've given is very helpfull :D
That's amazing to hear! I think many people have just the whole big thing in mind. The stunning artwork, the complex background or the godlike rendering. But small things like eyes, studies and niche drawing ideas which don't require much freedom in choices is what I like to relax while drawing.
if you feel stuck on artblock, just draw miku.
Draw the yellow one that isn’t in Mesmeriser while your at it.
Thank you so much for posting this video! I’ve been dealing with low motivation before artfight, but I still want to have fun and draw. Your videos are my biggest inspiration! :3
Ohh have fun with art fight! Thanks for your comment :) I am wishing you all the best!
Been in an art block for months, thank you for this :3
Omg same 😂 felt that
Ahh this is such an unpleasant feeling. I feel stuck since 2024 begun 😭 but I think it will come to an end. Even if it takes long. I am wishing you all the best!
I found this like, really and actually helpful and inspiring. Whenever I’m having a hard time with coming up with ideas to draw, I just stay in my comfort zone and just draw for the sake of doing it, so the second one really made me stop and think about what I REALLY want to do and that is improving in the ways I think I’m still lacking. Usually, the videos and recommendations I’ve seen on this topic are “draw this” “draw that” “do it this way” and honestly I don’t really find them that helpful, they give ideas, yes, but in the end I still end up not doing anything, or at least anything that I like, and they fee kinda rigid, so all the ways you can get over the block that you suggest made so much sense.
Sorry for writing this much, but I really wanted to convey my thoughts, show my appreciation and thank you for making this video (and all the others you make), it’s really inspiring and relaxing.
Keep up the good work!
Oh wow thanks for this comment! Don't apologise for how long it is. I love hearing your thoughts about this. Because I understand what you mean. I didn't want these ideas to exist to kill time but instead they should be bring some benefits when approaching the "real" drawing isn't working right now. So at least they help to get closer to tackling the big projects again. May it be to find motivation or to improve skills. Thanks for you indepth and sweet comment. I really appreciate it 😌
For me, I think I always want to draw something, but I just take so much time to finish one drawing that by the time I finish one thing, I have 4 more new ideas on top of what I wanted to do before🤣I would actually really like to do art challenges, more often, but I think by the time I finish, the trend has already passed.😅Anyway, love to see your drawings and process as usual! Especially the eyes, Miku, and character design! Your way of drawing expressions is always so inspiring!
I was literally just feeling stuck tysk
Can you please do a rendering Video? I love your tutorials they help me so much!
Thank you! what do you mean with rendering exactly? :)
@@kurohshirofor me, I started digital a few months ago and never knew how to do the layering properly and color in general. It's frustrating because I’m learning anatomy in order to design cool characters.
Always just feels like I won’t get better
I swear I could binge watch your tutorials and videos over and over again. They are so helpful, motivating and inspiring. It makes me feel like maybe I could achieve my dream of being a real artist someday.
What do you mean with real artist. You already are! I love when people find their love in creating art and being some source of inspiration makes me proud and happy. So I am really sure that you're already doing an amazing job as an artist :)
Thank you so much!!;:@@kurohshiro
Just got back to drawing after taking a few months break. Thanks for continually being my inspiration and teacher 🙏🏽
Oh that's amazing! I am proud of you if I may say that :3
@@kurohshiro of course! Thank you very much ^^.
Ty really needed this :)
Your videos always give me motivation to draw thanks for your effort and time for giving out tips and stuff
Aw that's awesome to hear! I am so glad. Thank you :3
Definitely saving this for later, I'm excited to try all of these 🙏
Ahhw that's awesome to hear! Hope they're helping you :)
Thx! That realy helped me 💗
I think this video was what I needed, I've been so busy lately because of my new job that I don't have time to draw and I was afraid of getting stuck, Kuroshiro you are sensational! ✨
Ahh I remember the feeling of the urge to draw but not having time because of work, school, jobs etc. Hope you find some good time to do what you enjoy doing :)
Kuro-Sensei. I am ever grateful to have stumbled across your channel as a beginner artist. Although I am currently unable to draw consistently due to my physical condition and financial situation, I will soon join the art world thanks to the spark you've ignited. Please continue to give us your amazing works, insights and characters so we all can be motivated with you. ^^
Oh thank you! I hope you take care of yourself. It should be fun and joining this art community is so delightful and inspiring. Sharing no matter how big of an artist you are (based on numbers) is so encouraging. I love this about Art online. I am wishing you all the best for you and your art :)
Thank youuuuu!❤❤❤❤❤❤
I adore ur art, and the way u teach
Thank u soooo much I’ve learned a lot! 🌷
Thank you 😊
Was in the middle of a heavy art block tysm for this kuro :D
Ahh hope it's helpful! :3
I love this! Thank you for this video!
Thank you! I am glad that my videos are helpful 🙇♂️
Your drawing is so beautiful, I really like it :3
Thank you!glad you like it :3
This was honestly an amazing video that made me instantly want to try some of these out!
Oh I hope things work! Wishing you all the best 😌
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! I honestly needed it. I have an extremely bad habit with getting frustrated at drawing something and it just doesn't come out right. I realized that I wasn't breaking the idea down enough like you mentioned in the video. After watching this I decided to try breaking things down and then putting together later. It was a great success. Thank you Kuroshiro! ( also your first tip on drawing eyes, is my favorite. When i am bored all I do is draw eyes lol )
Ahh that's so awesome to hear! I am glad you managed to overcome this stage of frustration. This unpleasant feeing of being stuck no matter how hard we try is so frustrating. So sometimes it just needs something completely different like mindlessly doodling eyes haha
Thank you so much ❤
You uploaded just in the right moment hehhe, I've been quite overwhelmed and unmotivated and yet I feel this constant ache for drawing, so ty sm for the ideas and also for the effort you made into making the video ❤❤❤
Ahh that's awesome to hear! I am glad then :) hope it brings some inspiration. Wishing you all the best :3
@@kurohshiro ty ♡♡♡ :3
YOU'RE THE BEST!!!
Como puede ser que este video llegue justo en el momento que mas lo necesito! Ademas amo tu arte! muchas muchas gracias por tu video! Gracias Kuroshiro :3
Aw thank you! Sadly my Spanish is a bit rusty. But I am glad you like it 😌
this art is literally amazing and you are my new favourite artist now omg!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Woah thanks for this compliment!
Love your videos all the time❤️
Aw thanks!
thank you for the ideas, they're very helpful!! :)
Ahh glad to hear! Thank you so much :)
Thanks a lot
oh i’m fired up to draw again, i’ve always said this but there’s just something about your art process and your videos that just pulls me out of artblock and makes me want to draw, i don’t even know how to explain but that’s just how influential your art is 🥹 as always, your tips are so so helpful, and it’s really refreshing to see you practice with small steps as well, it’s a reminder that it’s okay to allow myself to take time with my art and invest in studying. looking forward to your next post as well!!
the character at 08:21 is so stunning btw would love to see a full render !! 😩
Omg thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words. I want to share my struggles to normalise artists problems and that making art isn't that fun as it seems all the time. So finding small things to enjoy while drawing is important to not ending up completely frustrated. Thanks a lot for your comment. Also I would love to finish the design of this chara but I'll see 😅
Here because of Miku but I learn good tips. I planned to properly study some parts I'm weak at and coloring style but I don't know where to start. This help me set my priority. Thank you!
7:50 Also that's a great idea! Never thought about it!
Aw thanks! Haha Miku seems to convince people xD But I am glad. Thanks for your comment :)
Oh, I cannot image how it's possible not to adore your art :'( I understand it feels completely different from artist's perspective, yet I can't decribe it less than "beautiful". Hope you'll get sympathy for your art back, it really deserves it :3 Also it's great to see your other drawings, I love knowing such details about artist's workflow :D Thank you for sharing, I think that's important to let people know emotional aspect is not something to be ignored. And thanks for high-aesthetic content
Aw thank you! I am happy you like it 😌 I love to watch artists videos where they show a lot of variety in what they're doing. It's inspiring for my own work ^^
Perfect timing
Glad to hear!
i swear you published this video at the perfect time, i was just starting to get overwhelmed with this exact problem haha thank you for all these ideas!
Ahh that's amazing to hear! I am always feeling better when I make some small art progress which I like. Making art to be proud of is such a motivation ^^
ngl i was kind really in a very heavy art block and was thinking to give up but the timing is crazy thank you!
Haha that's good to hear! Thank you :)
Wow I completely love you drawing the eyes. They look fantastic!❤
OMG I’m so in love with your drawing style!
The suchen .. what language is that coming from? The fashion is absolutely catching my attention.
Seeing you drawing the characters, suddenly had me wondering if you’re one of the artists who draw for Genshin Impact characters and fashion. The fashion style you chose is amazing, and one of the cup of my teas. ❤
I feel blessed this morning watching for your tips.
Thank you so much! ❤
Aw thank you! Which character do you mean? I showcased 3 designs I think ^^ but generally speaking Pinterest is a nice source of inspiration and once you click on something you like you'll get tons of similar things recommended :)
Thank you for always making useful videos 😊❤😊❤
Thank you! Glad you find it helpful :3
@@kurohshiro can you make speed paint video ☺️
Im in LOVE with that huge jacket character it looks so cool plua the character herself seems so mysterious :0
Oh thanks for liking her design! I actually like it as well but never got the chance to draw her again. I am living for oversized clothes and dystopia futurist desert stuff haha
@@kurohshiro omg I can't believe I didn't notice until now how well your style goes with those themes!!!! I'm absolutely in love with cyber type stuff too nowadays, it'd be so cool to see you make more of these characters!!
First, thank you so much for this. I've been having quite a lot of troubles with digital drawings, even in paper. I immediately hate everything I do and I really can't help myself. Honestly, watching videos bring me some motivation but my artblock always makes me hate the things I do. This one is a really good idea tho and seeing you drawing makes me want to keep going! Again thank you so much for this, I love watching your videos and your art
Ohh lol yes the apples. That's why I drew this character tbh xD side note, I got new apples yesterday 😭
Thanks for you kind comment! Hope you have a great day :3
I was like bored outta my mind, and saw this video when I opened YT. In all honesty, art block could be my worst enemy since I want to draw but seemingly can’t create nice pieces, so the video is really nice ❤❤
I think that's the point. We have the expectation of always having to create fully finished pieces which will impress everyone. But sometimes (most of the time) this is contra productive because it's so pressuring. Thanks for your comment and thoughts :)
omg thank you so much for this! lately i have been pressuring myself a lot because a few weeks ago i was asked for a painting, which would be the first project i sell to a person as a professional artist. im really young so i just feel like i have to do my best so people will take me seriously, thats why i end up comparing myself to others.
i have been feeling so stressed i literally couldn’t pick up my ipad to just draw an eye, i felt so frustrated. this video just fits like ring to the finger for me.
this is a personal request, but could you make a tutorial on how to render an entire artwork? doesn’t have to be very complicated, is just that i have been looking for many tutorials and i still can’t comprehend 😭 your explanations are easy to understand to me so thats why i do this request.
thank u for your work, your pieces are really pretty and i have seen so much progress in your art and also your channel ever since i first saw your videos!
Thank you so much for your kind feedback!
I actually got requested some times to make art and design stuff when I was younger (not that I am old now but there was a time I was younger than now lol) and usually it was free work and as soon as someone was paying me I felt that stress and pressure and this made me feel stuck. So I 95% do art because it's fun and i think keeping this even when it's professional work is so important to keep this as a wonderful thing to do. So I am wishing you all the best for your art journey!
And for the video: I did a How I colour (which is more or less a render video) and How I choose colours. So maybe this is what you were looking for? But tbh I could make a new one. Thanks for the suggestion!:)
your notification appeared when i was in artblock :)). nice timing, ty ty love your vids sm
Ahh great! That's awesome. Thanks for letting me know ☺️
Kuroshiro is literally the perfect one when it came to explaining (for me). I really can't understand something without proper details, plus I can't focus either when someone explain with talking 😭
Ohh that's such a valuable feedback that my style of explaining things makes sense. Thanks a lot for letting me know!
@@kurohshiro ahshska it's not a big deal really!!! Your videos help me improve sm! your way of explaining things is easier to understand 👍
Yaaaay another video from Kuro!!! Thanks!! Btw Can you please give me some advice? I'm constantly running away from drawing because I'm not good at it. comparing myself with other artists, and I'm afraid to start, please tell me what to do. Thank u 🙏
Hmm you know what? I am thinking the same about my stuff. I am currently struggling with faces from a very specific angle and it's so frustrating that I want to give up. Then I just draw something which I know will turn out good. Like eyes or pretty hands. That boosts my mood and I am confident enough to try again on the face :)
@@kurohshiro didnt know you experience the same. But what to do to artist who just teaches to draw pretty art 😔 kuro you are my motivation, your words/advises pretty important for me ✨
Art block has been hitting hard lately so this came out at the right time :) I’ll definitely use this for future reference! Also hatsune miku looks great in your artstyle, reminds me of Akane from Oshi no ko :D realising that it’s definitely not the lack of things to do, it’s the lack of motivation to do anything ahahaha… at any rate, I shall take notice and start drawing something now that I’m inspired 😂 eye candy art as per usual (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ
Oh thank you! Actually I struggled so much with her face. Changed it hundreds of times. So I am happy to hear that. I am wishing you all the best for your art! And thanks for your comment :3
Hi! I was just here to ask if you could add voice overs or text to speech in your future videos 😅 it’d be quite helpful since I usually watch your videos while drawing but as you can imagine, it’s difficult keeping track of the video. Just a suggestion
Holy crud kuro! That’s one amazing video once again! Now.. its timeeee to give your reminders
Make sure to get good sleep please eat well don’t take criticism you are amazing never give up and finally remember we support you!
Questions : 1. when you draw the head do you start with a circle or do you just get straight into it?
2. How long have you been drawing?
3. How long does it take you to render?
4. How long does it take you to get a sketch
I was actually wondering what to draw and stuff and you gave me some pretty cool ideas! I hope you continue to do your art you are a very talented person I hope i can be like you one day! >:)
That’s all for today thank you for reading kuro! Have a wonderful day/night!! :3
Gosh your comments make my day. To answer your question I am drawing since 2011 horses and since 2017 Anime people ^^ when I draw faces I Make a circle but usually I ignore it and Draw what looks good. So it's just a pseudo guideline lol sketches take forever because I want to start only when I feel 100% good about it. This usually takes me 3 days.
I hope this answers your questions. And thanks for your care and support. I really appreciate it. Take care of yourself as well 😌
Oh and rendering..usually that's pretty fast 1 or 3 days a 4h or so :)
every time i see your videos i get motivated to draw but after a while I stop again because I have smt to do for school or work but I really want to draw more
Ahh the urge to draw in the most inconvenient situations xD I know this feeling haha but I am glad that you got back to drawing :3
Vielen lieben Dank für deine Tutorials und Ideen! Sie sind eine Bereicherung für jeden Anfängerkünstler wie auch Profi. 💕
Ich wollte einen Video-Vorschlag unterbreiten, wobei ich mir nicht sicher bin, ob du bereits so ein Video geplant, bereits gedreht oder schon gepostet hast. Da es mit Adobe wegen ihren Regelungen und AI-Kontroversen immer schwieriger wird, möchte ich mich langsam aber sicher an CSP wagen. Und wie bei vielen neuen Dingen, neigt man gerne dazu, diese etwas hinauszuzögern.😅
Gerade bei CSP macht mir doch das User Interface Probleme. Ich weiß einfach nicht, welche (relevanten) Tools ich verwenden soll und vor allem, wo ich alles platzieren soll.
Wäre es daher möglich, dass du gerade den CSP-Neulingen deine Oberfläche zeigst, wo du was platziert hast, sodass es für einen einfacher ist damit anzufangen?
Noch einmal, vielen lieben Dank für deine Tutorials und deine Kunst! Sie geben einem immer einen extremen Booster zum Zeichnen. Und bitte, nimm dir immer Zeit mit deiner Kunst. Hetze dich nicht wegen deinen Follower. Wir warten auch länger auf deine Kunst. Am Ende ist uns deine Gesundheit am wichtigsten 💕
Ebi
Hallo Ebi! Vielen lieben Dank für deinen herzlichen und ermutigenden Kommentar. Ich schätze das sehr und das bringt mich gerade zum lächeln.
Ja, tatsächlich habe ich noch nicht solch ein Video gemacht und hatte es auch nicht vor aber das ist eine sehr gute Idee. Ich benutze längst nicht alle Features die Csp zu bieten hat aber ich konnte grob meine go to tools vorstellen. Vielen Dank für den Vorschlag!
Und danke für den Reminder mit dem sich nicht Hetzen. Ich versuche es aber mich macht der Gedanke keine Videos pünktlich zu uploaden unruhig und unzufrieden und gleichzeitig möchte ich die Qualität aufrecht erhalten. Ich muss sehen wie ich das unter einen Hut bekomme.
Anyways, nochmals vielen Dank! Ich wünsche dir einen wunderschönen Tag 😌
Love all the ideas!!
And I have a question that you usually use multiple references to draw your illustrations and I love this idea but when I do that I always struggle with doing the lighting cause every reference has different light source so how do you paint the lighting like how do you decide the light source?
Ahh that's actually a good question. I kinda default I to the same lighting scneaas you can see. Back lit characters. That's not good but makes it easier on my brain to concentrate on rendering :)
@@kurohshirohow to do that?😭 I wanna do that too
what is that brush you used to block out Miku's hair at 5:18? Also great tips that I will apply to myself today
Please do a video on procreate ty
You’re a mind reader LMAO ❤❤❤
Idk what I’m doing on clip studio and as I’m new in this I’m so confused do you bought/Suscribe the clip studio paint or we can actually use it for free I’m having problems to save the work as it’s saying something really similar to buying it im so confused T-T
Hey! I think they offer 2 models: subscription and one time purchase. But I am not sure if it differs in the version or how updates behave. I bought mine years ago when it was 60 % off or so. That was a pretty good deal
I have a question. I have been getting into digital art a bit, and a problem I have started to notice with me is that its difficult for me to keep track of my screen and tablet seperately. I have some money saved up from years of Birthdays and I can afford a cheap Gaomon display graphics tablet. Should I go for it? Or would it be better for me to practice more on the screenless tablet since I am a beginner. (If I buy the tablet, i spend all my money, so i gotta be careful before buying😢)
When you feel stuck draw miku ❤😂
Actually this Miku drawing was so difficult. First clip studio crashed on me and I didn't save 2h of progress and then I redraw the face 3 times 😭 but generally speaking, yes. Miku is a good idea to get out of art blocks lol
I literally feeling stuck right now and I'm searching thru reddit, tiktok and here on youtube how to finish artwork that I started because I easily get demotivated when I'm going to start coloring my artwork ;A;
Oh but you reached the coloring stage so that's good I guess. Then it's just a matter of how you feel to continue. Hope you find motivation and don't be so hard on yourself :3
3 mins ago is crazy
do you mind sharing materials that u usually use to drawing a characvters ? (btw i know u usually put it in the description but i guess i cant find the one with the name kuro sketch in the CSP store()
Hey! Sadly this brush got deleted. When I find time I will try to get it back online. I am sorry 🙇♂️
@@kurohshiro ahhh okayy thanks for the reply!
Love yu
I think I have the opposite of art block. I have too many ideas that lead to loads of projects getting started but not finished. I get a good idea for a piece, then in the middle of drawing it I would get a new idea I would get excited about, and the excitement for the previous piece dissipates. Any tips for that?
Hmm actually that sounds like a good thing. I used to have a lot of wips and when I got stuck on one I moved to the next one and continued there. That way I always had something to do. I dislike the feeling of not having something to work on. So I would say to keep doing what you are doing and try to work on the drawings you enjoy :)
@@kurohshiro I would really like to finish my backlog of wips, especially before it gets any bigger. But that's a really good mentality to have. At the end of the day, just draw what you enjoy. Thanks for the reply!
Bro are you deleted your kuro sketch brush on clipstudio asset? ☹️ it make me sad bcs that's my fav brush, i accidently remove that brush and when i try to download it again, its gone☹️☹️😭😭😭
Yeah it's so unfortunate 😭 I have to restore it but honestly there's so much going on and I am overwhelmed with things that I keep forgetting working on that because i have to recreate the entire brush. But hopefully when things get calmer I'll get it back. Again I am so sorry for this inconvenience 🙇♂️
" im gonna watch kny final episode now. And nothing can stop me" i said.... But then you downloaded and i just couldn't...
Haha well that must be a hard urge to resist because holy shot kny is soo good 😩
how did you know i was bored?
yeah i was bored too how
2 hours early
Could you please distribute the brushes of "Kuro Sketch H2"?
Hey. I am very sorry but the brush got deleted and I can't reupload it. I hope I can find a way to fix it 🙇♂️
@@kurohshiro Brushes can also be sold at gumroad and artstation, so I would be happy if you would consider doing so.
I love your videos, I wish you would make a more detailed video of how you design your characters please! (╥﹏╥)
I'll add this to my list! Thanks for your comment :3
First
the clicking sound is too much for my ears :c but very interesting video!
Ahh I am so sorry! So should it be less loud or removed?
men
Too fast. It is stress full
I am sorry. I will take note of this and remember to make it slower next time. Thanks for your feedback!
Exactly what I needed. This singlehandedly got me out of art block thank you sm 😭🫶
Omg that's awesome to hear! Thank you :3 glad you got it!
