    Art block is something similar to a "wall" you've come across that prevents you from drawing at your best. Artwork doesn't come out how you're envisioning it and you feel like you're held back from your usual potential - occasionally it can result from a lack of motivation. Have you ever had art block? How did you overcome it?

    Only a few times this have happened to me.

    In my case to overcome the "art block" i try relaxing my mind, if you're stressed it will be a little harder to calm your mind and nerves.
    A good way to relax your mind and nerves is hearing relaxing music like instrumental :).

    This has worked for me to continue with artwork ;).

    I've had it on and off for years now and it hurts ;.;

    I think all I'd need to do is dedicate some time to really pushing out some art, or just trying to find some motivation. I feel bad that I just sit around and complain that I have "Art Block" all the time, and never actually do anything about it.

    I don't get art block nearly enough as I do writer's block. There are times I don't feel like drawing, but that's just not being in the mood, and that happens far more than art block.

    I rarely get art block. Writer's block, yes, but Art block not so much.
    But when I do, I guess I look for a need of some kind.
    Just what should I draw this for? It usually gets me in gear. ;)

    I usually get writer's block more so but part of that might be because I don't really enjoy writing in the first place. When I do get art blocks it's usually because something is bothering me like something has really upset me.

    I always have art blocks and they last for years. Normally watching speed art drawings give me inspiration but It's really hard to get out of a art block. (Been in one for a few months)

    I usually have a lot of art blocks, but I usually overcome it by being inspired by other artwork, or doing a kind of rage painting. Rage painting is pretty much me using as much color to make an explosive piece of color and chaos over my canvas until I finally get an actual idea of what project I want to start doing.

    I once had art block for over a year. I did not like any of the ideas I drew. They weren't good enough.
