Blank Canvas Syndrome is actually the reason speedpaints are so amazing! Not on,y do they let the artist see themselves figuring stuff out, but if you post them, it can show just about everything the artist does to get to their final result
One thing I want to say…is trust your instincts..as well as jot down your favorite ideas. For digital artists…DIGITAL SKETCHBOOKS ARE AMAZING!! I sketch literally everything I can think of on there.
Also, please remind yourself that you draw to make yourself happy and posting it is just a bonus. If you don’t at least try, you’ll never be able to grow. I know it’s cheesy but it helps getting rid of some of the anxiety.
The fear is real. I agree with doing some warm up sketches before starting, I think they help. Doing a little planning for a new piece can help a bit too, thumbnail comps, value/color studies, and even drawing some photo studies from photos I want to use as refs for the piece. I think making art is so hard, because it's so worth doing.
Love the piece you drew in this video, it's such a badass looking image!
I never thought I'd actually have an art tip to share but here goes... I get stuck in not wanting t mess up a piece, having too many ideas to prioritize, and fear of what the reception will be afterwards. With all that swirling in my head I get too paralyzed to start so I turn art into play. I make the drawing something I need to figure out, or play with.. especially the sketchy part at the beginning. Then it's fun, then I have to focus and use my brain and that gets me passed the hardest bit
I love how the pngs of your oc changed quality it's more shiny it's so cute 😭
Something that's really helped me is doing the sketch on paper first, taking a photo and then drawing over it on my tablet.
It's way less daunting to me & feels more natural to just sketch on paper first x
I second this
Ofc theres the problem of just...me needing an idea before I can start lol. But ye when it comes to sketching, paper is more natural to me. Ofc everyones gonna be a bit diff
I try to scroll through Pinterest before drawing to get ideas, it doesn’t always give me inspiration, but when it does it can be really easy to pump out a sketch I like
Im going throught this right now and its so hellish, what I recommend is try listening to music you like! Upbeat music kicks my brain into gear and puts images in my head to give me a little more confident to put it on paper.
Ill sit in front of a blank piece of paper for ages sometimes an hour before I start. It is like a key that unlocks my imagination, I consider it part of the process and really enjoy the sitting there conceptualizing what ill do.
A course I did once on overcoming motivation issues once said that inspiration and ideas in your mind are like a beautiful glass butterfly. It moves and dances in the light, every part of it is unimaginably beautiful to the point where the fantasy of this idea is an unobtainable standard. When you start to draw you have to smash the glass butterfly to begin and accept that the version you create will never be that but it will be something beautiful and worthwhile in its own right. If you don’t smash the glass then it will continue to fly around and taunt you with everything your art could have been and you will have no time in your brain to appreciate it for what it actually became instead.
I find that the easiest way for me to make new work is to try something new. When i'm learning I always have more fun starting new projects :)
same
I'm not sure if it would categorize as blank canvas anxiety, but I find it extremely difficult - or near impossible - to sketch digitally, but I'm fine with paper. I'm not sure what it is exactly, but I theorize it's something to do with how perfect a white screen is compared to paper (or physical canvas). By the nature of the medium, paper has a texture to it that makes it imperfect. It can make it easier for me to imagine how a drawing should appear on the page via using the little fibers that stick out as a mental guide (like using grid paper for house blueprints).
I've mitigated this somewhat by getting a paper-like screen protector for my iPad and using a metal tip nib on my stylus, but that disconnect is never fully resolved. This is why I also use sticky notes to make storyboards for my comic since I know I can clean up the art digitally. That also gives me a mental break from having to worry about it being perfect immediately.
Hey! A way that I've helped with this that might give you some results is taking a texture of paper with a coffee stain or burn marks or crumbled notebook lines and laying it over the base layer until I rough out my sketch. Sometimes I will also use a landscape with low opacity, since it gives me an idea of where to start placing things. Hope this helps!
@@theConcernedWyvernim a lil confused, are u saying u use stains/wrinkles/etc on the paper to figure out what u want to draw?
I have actually learned to avoid this syndrome by actually scheduling what I want to do in advance. It might not work for most people, butt it has been pretty functional for me. Ofc I also just do random whim projects as well.
my cure to this is taking pictures of sketches I've done at like 2 AM the next day and using them as a reference lol
As an artist who has worked in stressful environments like animation and comics something I learned quickly was to stop caring and just start drawing. Even if it sucks paper is inexpensive so just throw it out and start over it's not a big deal and no one cares.
2:43 BRUHH 💀💀💀 all these years ive had blank canvas anxiety bc i have so many cool ideas 😂😂 sometimes it’s true you can BE TOO CREATIVE ❤❤
I don’t exactly have blank canvas syndrome. In fact I have a thing where I feel like if I’m not drawing, I’m not doing anything (basically effects of hustle culture) especially since cause of school, I can’t draw everyday, only on weekends really. I have a notepad on my phone with drawing ideas (some my own and some from my friends) and there are some that have been there FOR MONTHS and have not been done because I get new ideas, do those first, and then forget the old ones, so I relate on a SPIRITUAL level on having to many ideas and never getting to them.
I’ve been trying to allow myself to do other things (like go out with friends or just game) since I only have 2 weeks of summer vacation left. It’s slightly difficult but I’m getting happier!
Thank you Celestia for always blessing us with beautiful content💗🌙
that's what my therapist told me one day, actually. instead of starting a new piece with the intention to make a perfect drawing in two-three sittings, it's much more productive to reroute your mindset from, for example, "i MUST be done with clean sketch today" to "it'd be great if i finished cleaning my sketch today". yes, you still make a demand, but it's less harsh than the former, and, let's be honest, it's extremely hard to immediately go from a destructive mindset to more sparing one. but that advice was given to me as i'm a chronic workaholic who never takes breaks until the piece is finished and i'm so exhausted from the process i can't help but fucking hate it. but hey, it gets better little by little over time. hope it'll get better for you too.
The advice from this video (specifically the warm up, also the reminder that you can fix your mistakes when you make them!) helped me to start working through my nerves and begin a project I’ve been terrified of starting for months now, drawing the pet of a KPop idol I admire. Thank you so much for making this video, it’s like a huge weight has started lifting off my shoulders!
I think what helped me beat blank canvas anxiety was telling myself that ideas and artistic visions are also skills that get better with practice. you could be having what feels like the greatest idea or vision in the world and really really want to do it justice, but there's always greater ideas, greater visions to come in the future. while ideas are unpredictable, they're far from being scarce (so long as you keep a healthy relationship with art), so you don't really lose anything when the result doesn't quite match the vision. thinking this helps me keep the endeavor at lower stakes.
I used to suffer from this a lot during my earlier art years. What works best for me is finding my inspiration and references right off the bat. I can spend a few hours going through photos and saving what I like, even if it’s not for today’s art. You have to be careful though because after a few hours of nothing, you can get burned out and frustrated because you don’t want to draw anymore. To combat this and another good tip on its own, you should also sketch out a few of those chosen reference poses to see which one actually feels the best. I often just choose one pose straight away and then half way through drawing find it stiff and off. Sketching out a few thumbnails first not only overcomes this, but is also a great warm up and takes off some pressure since they’re not supposed to look perfect. It’s just a scribble page, really. Another thing is to make yourself draw sketches and work that isn’t up to your “finished” standard. Not every thing you draw has to be a finished masterpiece and I found that forcing those expectations on me made drawing so much harder and more frustrating. It’s okay to just chuck something together or not finish it :)
It's hard to put into words just how grateful I am for this video. I wasn't aware that Blank Canvas Syndrome had a name until now, and didn't realize just how much I've been suffering from it as a consequence.
The thing that usually helps get me over that initial paralysis is starting with the part of the grander vision that I want to draw the most-- usually the eyes & expression. Once I'm happy with the overall tone and impression that is conveyed by the face, it's a huge confidence boost that helps propel me through the other aspects of designing an image.
I can definitely see that whole anxiety-without-an-undo-button part in myself. It's probably the main reason why I prefer pencil & paper over things like ink pens and markers. Yet personally, I often find the undo button in digital to be extremely detrimental to my ability to sketch. I find it all too easy to fall into the trap of constantly undoing & redrawing lines, which can really throw off the specific tempo/rhythm I need for sketching.
I surpass this syndrome, last year and I am happy that I start feel comfortable to sketch first on my cheap paper rather than on my phone, and picture it then I upload in Ibispaint.
Like you mentioned it's the blank canvas that is the most scary. To remedy this for myself anyway, I just put a line or anything on the canvas which either forces me to erase it or if im just drawing for fun, use that line to make something. Yes it's an old art excersise but it helps me move on from the perfectionism
This is why a lot of traditional canvas artists start with a wash of colour or even numerous colours on the canvas before they do the sketch
drawing with pen helps with blank canvas anxiety and perfectionism, it forces you to accept your mistake and move on, it also helps with your line confidence alot
OMG, this helped me feel a lot better, thank you!!
I don't have this problem, but I definitely used to. I'm really glad you talked about this. Thank you. Also, totally unrelated, but drawing while binging your videos is one of my favorite things to do.
I felt that I have this syndrome. back in the 90's when I was still a teenager; I had aspirations of creating a web comic staring my OC and his adventures and have yet began anything! Honestly all I ever kept doing was to draw my OC over and over again trying to perfect him and just get stuck in a loop. Also, after certain events took place in my life , I doubt that I had no talent at all and I was just delusional. I believe that is where I stand right now. I created my OC back when I was little after watching someone else in school draw a cool OC of their own. Then when I got into Sonic the hedgehog I tried basing my OC off of that and this continued until a few years back. I just don't feel that I have any talent what so ever to actually draw anything original . I don't think I ever had. So I just pushed it aside and put all of my effort into work and that's where I stand today. When I do try to sketch my OC, I find I am no longer able to.i would just start doing the preliminaries and then just quit out of frustration....
On a side not though 1. Whom ever said that , " You can't draw." obviously can't comment cause your art rocks! and 2. Are you excited for the upcoming third Deadpool movie?
My relief when the squarespace segment started ❤❤❤ (unfamiliar ads are scary)
Been a carrd user for like 3 years but if anyone is gonna sell me on squarespace it's going to be you I'm so close
For me the way I've dealt with something like blank canvas syndrome is with pressure. When I first started drawing I pressured myself to draw at least one thing each day for a year straight...and I did...and I barely made it out alive, but that routine still stuck with me even after finishing that challenge I did for internet clout that I never got.
Nowadays I don't force myself to finish a piece before the end of the day, but I set myself deadlines for them. Very lenient one that are at least a month or two long max. If I make it, then I reward myself with a treat. If I don't then I crunch to get it done asap, learn what I did wrong, and treat myself for finishing it. It's not for everyone, but that's what works for me.
Really the only problem I have is I tend to put projects in the back-burner a lot if they aren't as time sensitive as the others, so I have a lot of half-finished sketches, really rough outlines, or at worst a text file describing what I want to draw/animate that are years old
i have this problem for the next reason: i'm afraid not of the bad art itself or some mistakes, but of the pain which it will cause me, my brain simply avoiding unneeded stress and pain, and i can't do anything about it, i can't make it to stop suffering from not being able to create anything and being able to draw good enough and understand how to do this and being able to practice a lot and constantly, i'm too weak for any of it, and it's not a self-esteem problem, i'm simply stating what i see (also i have a BPD so it's making everything worse for me), i'm unable to work hard and unable to learn at all, i spent 5 years of my life on art and didn't get anything except broken mental health beyond recovery, i wish i never discovered what my life goal is and what i want to be and what i want to do, could've live a more peaceful and happy life without suffering from not getting it...
I just learn one thing from it, which is if you set your self for the perfect you're not gonna get what you want but if you set yourself for that you can try your best and left the rest on the higher powers(whatever you believe) you maybe get succeed~
There were times in the past I experienced blank canvas syndrome, but it rarely happens anymore. My most effective solutions against it are not worrying about mistakes and reducing the pressure by not attempting draw something concrete, but instead just doodling for fun. Then I'd graudually change those into meaningful drawings, some of which I would flesh out.
So doodling is the icebreaker, and a positive mentality that focuses on artistic growth, curiosity to experiment, passion to perfect are the ideas that guide me. I don't worry about mistakes because in digital art everything can be retried infinitely. In traditional I mosly just draw with pens or pencils, and so long I don't press my tools too hard things can be drawn over or erased.
I guess it helps that I'm only a hobby artist, so there's no pressure to finish a piece in time (or at all). I draw whenever I want to and for as long as I feel like. That way it's always fun. I draw for myself, so no worries about online reception or adapting to algorithms.
Looking back at my pieces even during those years I drew infrequently and barely finished anything I can still see the progress I was making. To me art is less about an individual piece I'm currently working on, and more about the journey and self-improvement.
My recommendation to avoiding fear of blank canvas, is to approach it with a different process than what you usually do. If you use thin brush and do very constructed sketch before you refine, take a big brush with a soft/ambiguous edge and try to lay down gestural strokes, then use an eraser to sculpt out what you want. If you start out more painterly, take a pencil and do a layout of your piece. Also, either zoom out or make a tiny rectangular thumbnail and create what you invision in your head with simple lines/values, then enlarge it so it fills your canvas. If you work on a white canvas, try tinting it from pure white to warm or cool gray, throw some texture onto it, splotches of colors and shapes, use gradients to create a sense of atmosphere and space. Maybe even try starting with a very dark canvas and use lighter tones to sketch or shine a light on your forms, slowly pulling them out of the dark. Try different brushes! Add your references to your canvas so it's not empty, write down what you want to illustrate and the steps to make it. Put on another artist's stream or recording to have a feel of working along with someone else, or find some music or podcast to zone out to.
Girl at this point Squarespace must ammount to at least more than 5% of your income /J
that no control key actually gives me peace mind , cause ill keep improving one piece of work forever if that undo button exist in traditional method
This whole video. You described some of the problems I have when trying to create something.
This is the exact reason I do art prompt lists and such so often. If I have something telling me what to draw, it spurs me into action a little faster. But the advice Celestia gives is something I will absolutely be putting into practice. Next major goal: fill that sketchbook I've had since freshman year of high school!
People in the comments of your videos saying you can't draw??? They must have a lot of spare time to waste.
I sometimes happen to see some artists online making various stuff and I think "well, that's not so impressive, I could do that better" but immediately after I ask to myself "Why am I not doing it then?". The answer is that, whatever level they have, artists that are active online (or offline as well) have the courage of exposing themselves into a public sphere, and at the same time putting a lot of effort creating all their products, often having to learn other skills beyond art too. That deserves respect and admiration. It's not easy at all, that's why most "online art critics" don't do it, critiquing while being totally inactive is much more comfortable and easy. Not to mention the fact that unrequested critiques can be detrimental and should be avoided, and the difference between style choices and skill struggles is subjective (as you argued already in older videos).
This is off topic but I really love your art style ❤
I struggle sometimes with blank canvas syndrome, no matter if I draw for myself or for someone else - I usually listen to the music to figure out how the scene or pic should look like in my head. I sometimes mix it with searching refs on Google. Sometimes I let the destiny guide the search new thing (I think it's called inspiration 😅), especially if I find something funny, intriguing, awesome, etc. by accident. I also write up any idea for pic coming to my mind in sticker cards or Notes app in my phone, so I can use them in case of fighting with blank canvas syndrome. And when I get the idea from any of mentioned elements, I usually keep them during drawing process - keeping the same music on loop, which helped me during creating an idea, refs, notes, etc.I also think WhatToDraw app also helps with it. I hope it helped anyone struggling with blank canvas syndrome - don't give up, folks, I cross my fingers for you ❤
I feel this on a physical and spiritual level
thank you for some of the tips! ^^
I get this with animating. I hate the sketchy storyboard and the half animated parts, I know these are important parts of the process but it makes me think I'm not capable of making this animation I really want to make.
The way you draw hair is beautiful💞
im not one to leave youtube comments but i refreshed the homepage, saw this upload marked '1 minute ago' and shouted "YEAHHH NEW CELESTIA VIDEO LETS GO!!" without even thinking lol love this channel fr and u inspire me so much w/ my own art
and thank you for making this vid in particular! its rlly frustrating when this happens, especially when i dont even know what i want to draw but want to draw *something* but im afraid of drawing it *wrong* even tho i dont...know what i wanna draw lol
I feel like I have Blank Canvas Syndrome for the same reasons you do (self doubt / fear of failure, too many ideas, fear of messing up). That's probably why I feel way more intimidated drawing something in my sketchbook than I do a quick doodle on a scrap of paper.
It's easier to continue working on a piece once you start, though.
Making the canvas grey has helped me alot
Man I don't even post online and feel the pressure of it looking good because "what if someone sees this somehow and laughs at how bad it is"
I just started drawing, but I've been a 3d modeller for years and this happens to me quite often. I have my own tactics, and this trick may only work for my field, but, it may have a traslation for a painter, I focus on smaller parts that can be done separately/independently, like, I do mostly ships, sometimes I make the superstructure, the hull, or some other part, and then I just keep the flow of the piece.
I think I might suffer from this mainly due to my family pressuring me to do other things with my life outside of art (which I already do. I work at a kids museum as a play facilitator) . And the fact that I can’t find a proper place to actually post my artwork without some algorithm getting in the way which is probably why I’m considering dumping my Instagram.
I use a massive amount of references. For the pose, different parts, lighting… so I don’t leave anything to hazard
This is exactly where I’m at, if it’s not right the first time or the idea isn’t good enough (especially in my redesigning of my ocs for story driven projects I have no idea what to do with) then there is no desire to continue. And it sucks
I don't really have this problem very often. Before I start drawing, I usually think up just one idea in my head of what I want to draw and what references I want to use and etc. I also prefer to draw in a style that is simpler and uses less details. A problem I face sometimes is that I will leave a project unfinished and almost never get back to it because I started at time before I would shortly have burnout from the subject matter or the act of making art.
I had a huge art block for months because I tried a lot of art styles and it made me extremely confused on which art style should I use to get a glow up of my art style.
i used to have blank canvas syndrome, tried to combat it with speedpaints from which the few attempts are still public, and "perfecting my artstyle" but that only pressured me even more.
now my general art process is basically "fuck it, we ball", and my artstyle is complietely different form everythign else ive done.
ive embraced the dumb anime faces and adventuretime noodly arms, kicked my heavily rendered semi realism in the balls, and im actually geniuenly happy with it!!
something i have noticed is that, since ive stopped "caring", ive been way less stressed about my drawings, i dont have artblock lately, and my mental health has been going upwards
i am absolutely terrible at explaining but i hope i got something across LOL
Wow, I'm early! This video actually came at the perfect time. I'm having this issue right now. That, and procrastination on my projects.
Sometimes I'll wake up randomly at 2am and suddenly out of nowhere know what I want to draw and actually do it. Sometimes I open it up and stare at that empty white square and really struggle to put something down.
I hate dealing with Blank Canvas Syndrome. It's worse when I'm doing a piece for someone else, which is why I made myself do Art Fight this year, it was such a fun time and I got to make a piece for one of my personal favorite artists, and she actually revenged it!! And I now have that piece on my wall. But I have also found that pasting my references onto my canvas helps break the canvas and makes it more useable for me
I had this so bad for the last year. I didn't draw at all, and yesterday I finally finished my first drawing in a year
You telling how a motivation to becoming a great artist reminds me of in One Piece where the main character makes a promise to become a great pirate to his idol and return the straw hat😂 thought that was pretty cool and a little funny
Perfectionism induced anxiety when someone close to me asks me to draw their characters (we play rpgs) and I don't want to say no, but then again never start the stuff because what if it's not good enough >^> Also why I have loads of art sitting in my work in progress folder, casue I can't make them perfect.
Beat the fear; draw over an older piece from the get-go. (After backing up the older art of course.) But it works like a charm... Writer? Tack your new idea onto the last chapter of a completed work. Sculptor? Mush your clay into a shape, walk away for a moment, then come back and actually get to work. Dancer? Do a well-known dance, and then incorporate new moves at the end to break you into it. You're not starting something completely new ever, you're building on what you already have.
I've had success in the past using an idea journal to write stuff down to draw later, or to make an idea board on Pinterest. I’ll also go and redraw old works or use that time to practice something I need improvement at. Like I can’t figure out what to draw but it’s always beneficial to do some hand studies you know?
Ever have an idea on what to draw you press new canvas (or new piece of paper if traditional) and you immediately forget what you were going to draw?
My opinion on the matter is that seeing a blank sheet and feeling blocked is nonsense. To begin with, when I open a new document, it's because I already know what I'm going to draw, but I've done my research beforehand. Whether it's for a study, drawing fan art, or something completely different, by that time I already have my references ready.
If the problem is that you have many things you want to draw and you don't know where to start, that's more of a decision problem, and any method that helps you decide on a piece is good - from flipping a coin to organizing your ideas by importance and starting to draw.
So, before you start drawing, decide what you're going to capture. Taking a blank sheet or opening your drawing program without a clear idea of what you're going to do is like going to war without a rifle. Before anything else, be very clear about what you're going to draw, find your references, and you're ready to start 🙂
Your art is genuinely gorgeous and inspiring and if you call yourself bad one more time I'll send Ryan Reynolds himself to your house to aggressively tell you its beautiful
JOKES ASIDE you make great points in this video ! Personally, I combat this feeling by making the canvas "not blank" so to say, as SOON as possible. Like even scribble on it if you have to, because anything will be better than that scribble, and It'll feel less scary at least for me !
Mine's ongoing for a longer time without a references. I have to use references to find ideas on what I'm doing.
...what do you mean, you're a lousy artist? Your work is amazing!
i love drawing to death but i could never never in a million years make a job out of it.... i would say im alright at art and i could probably make money off it with enough effort but i just hate the pressure and i just got out of a months long art block. for now im a hobbyist but i seriously just need to learn to do things when im not feeling up to it
"It does not have to be perfect, it just has to be"
As I read in a book, creating shouldn't be intellectualized. Creating is an action of present and not worrying about the future. If we focus on the future, we have no time to the present.
I get the Blank Canvas thing. People have a strong design philosophy they have to project and fear that one clumsy move will twist it.
I remember that when my brain has a picture idea, I will reproduce it without understanding the substance, just the composition. If someone wants me to explain it, I couldn't. Am I an artist that drawn for the form rather than function that lead to form? From someone that drawn to feel better, I wouldn't ask this question.
I literally experiencd this yesterday
I guess i'm starting yo have it when it comes makibg a web comic whike also struggle with writing block. It not that easy being an artist. Maybe darwing can be easy if i know what i'm doing, but writing!? Nope impossible. Because everytime i writing on Google doc it don't look interesting enough. Look at a blank sheet of paper when i try to come up with an idea or organize my story i get stuck.
I'm pretty sure that she's jus living off of square space sponsors.
I’m disabled. I can’t really do line art that well, because my disability causes me to really struggle with holding my hand straight enough to do lineart. My hands don’t have enough strength or shake. So all my pieces are paintings or, what have you. I often get this weird sense of inferiority for things I can’t control. It’s not my fault but I can’t help but thinking it makes me lesser.
do a vid about how to get a goofy/unrealistic style pls
Honestly, on being scared to post your art at all: I might have a solution for that one. I like to call it 'the post and run' tactic: Like, you post the art, and then you instantly just completely disconnect from the social media that you just posted said art on. Really, just shut down every device that you can use to check on the page, and wait until you're good and well ready to come back to that particular URL. Also, please take all the time you need on that one: for me, it's only one day, but it might take some people a little longer. In my personal experience, though: those mean troll comments rarely ever happen, and the anxiety about them is usually worse than the comment itself is going to be. Like, come on, the best that the trolls got is something completely stupid like 'your art ugly, kys'. Just saying: tose idiots usually can't even be arsed with proper grammar, lol. And they tend to buckle at the first polite question as to what they dislike your art, like a bunch of cowards! But I know that anxiety-refreshing of the page while looking for those mean comments like no other: I personally shut down my PC so I'm not tempted to do that, and I only muster up the courage to check the reactions a full day later. But then again: I don't check social media on my phone often, lol: you might want to just turn your phone and/or tablet off as well, but just limiting your phone to 'for looking up reference images only' also helps (I know that some of us find it helpful to stay in touch with friends). So yeah, if you want to get out of your comfort zone on that one relatively safely: just post and run.
6:04 you have the anime art style down and the drawing doesn’t have to be one version alone, like why don’t you make a game of it by doing a redraw of that piece for each year you’re able to meet the artist?
i just satisfy myself with what i managed to do, yeah it was hard, yeah some people could do better, but i did what i did and i'm proud of it
I think you just explained writers block
Can't draw...
Because people online wanna yonk your artwork, use it for nfts, re-post it to else where, ignore the copyright use age,
use it apart of AI, not to mention bot spam n scam comments. Yuck. Most places seem like they might be a decent fit for artists but we only get like 1% views because nobody wants to ether really see the art or gets past up on Because it's not "fit" for the "algorithms" Or someone else Traces n Claims it as there own. OR. Every where we post is so saturated with everything else nobody can see anything we do. I'm just frustrated as a hobby artist... No critique, limited growth. We need a new place where we can all go to with our art... but everything is so heavily googled ad'ed to the ends. I doute there would be a proper place we can post online.
Sorry for the vent...
Isn't that just art block but worded differently?
If you can't draw something blank, then how do you draw with?
is blank canvas syndrome the same as procrastinating over your art or is there a difference?
O no
i always want to draw but i never know what do actually draw
Blank Canvas Syndrome sucks so much, but you know what sucks just as much?
Having a whole backlog of WIPs that you can't finish because you keep starting new art pieces.
You're making a video game?!
