I feel that way a lot. I mean, sometimes I look at some of the stuff I did last year and go, "Fawk why can't I do that anymore!?", but then find that occasionally I'll just start drawing and it'll be to the level of quality I thought I couldn't do anymore. For me, (and this was a huge reason I did so horribly in my last year of my Visual Arts class) I do a really half-ass job and can't draw for crap if I just want to draw or I don't have a lot of drive/motivation. I mean, I used to just crank out drawings like it was going out of style years ago and now I'm lucky if I do something once a month, [i]if that.[/i]

It *is* possible you are just out of practice, in which case draw draw draw Razz

! If not, then you could be like me and be lacking some motivation and effort. Either way, don't stress too much. I'm sure it'll all come back to you eventually. Artist's block is totally natural.

Disclaimer: I could possible be talking out of my ass. Feel free to not listen to me. XD

Basically all you can do is practice and try to draw more often. Maybe once a day?I'll tell you this. I used to be a really crappy drawer. once when I was on summer break I basically drew all summer and I read a bit from a book. It really helped me and now I can Draw what I want.
So keep up the work and pratice till you get it right Smile

I still draw a lot, although now I draw more realitstic art.
Anyway, just keep practing, practicing makes perfect. Just don't quit, or your skills will grow even more worse.

yeah Ive dealt with what your going through
Im never 100% satisfied with my works
and sometimes I get I a rut
i cant draw as much as i used to because my drive was that I had an audience
when i was in high school every body knew who I was because of my art
but since I graduated. my audience has disappeared.
but dont worry surely you'll find inspiration,
a new reason to draw.

[color=red]Doodle. just doodle like its just filling an empty space on the paper. with that purely on your mind, then it wont be much pressure on the thaughts and such. just keep doing that as much as you can in a day, and you'll get better! (also, if your willing to, save all your doodles. they would be proof later on that you've possibly gotten better)[/color]

it's the strangest thing i have been so frustrated with myself! either it can't think of anything or my drawing are terrible! i've just been practicing a lot and got a bit better but i'm real frustration lately.

i might just do contours or 3 minute scetches of dynamic nudes as warm up but lately i haven't been finishing full page works :/ i guess it's just a phase

start drawing real life. Like draw human speacially, that will help you have a better understanding about the human anatomy. YOu also should draw realism before canything else. This will help in the long run.
