I usually listen to music or look at other peoples art on DA (mostly Tyshea and Ai-Bee :D). Sometimes, though, after a while of having an art block, an image of what I want to draw suddenly pops into my head and it's the greatest thing to happen to me at a time like that.

Definitely other. I wander around, listen to music, etc. I recently got a really good idea for a dragon wing pattern by eating fruit... i.e. I spent a half hour drawing the patterns inside the segments of an orange....

My friend taught me how to do this, and it surprisingly works, and it inspires me on so many levels.
When I get block of any sort, writers, artist, etc., I take a wood block and write onto it, "(Whatever block I'm having) block.". Then, I take it outside, put it down, get a sledge hammer, and destroy it to bits. It might sound violent, but it does work for me. Seeing the look on people's faces when I smash the block though is just as inspiring. :)

I'm currently having the longest art block of my life: 3 months. I'm suffering. It's horrible.
So I'm just not drawing anything and trying to find some inspiration, but nothing is working out.


......uuuuuuuu ;__;....

I yell random things to the sky, like..."MUTATED POTATO SCARF" and draw it.

I think about random things to get back into my creative mode! e.g. pineapples, emoticons, weather, rainbows of gayness, oh, and more pineapples
