Hey Guys, I am having the hardest time finding somewhere to vent about my creative block I'm having. I have been going through this for a while now. I cannot for the LIFE of me figure out ways to get my creative juices flowing again. I've tried doing things that I used to do, nothing works. Tried drinking more tea and less coffee (yes that was suggested to me), still doesn't work. Has anyone had a hard time getting back into the flow of being creative or designing and then found themselves working through a block? What has worked for you in these scenarios? Please Help! (But seriously)

It's happened to me a lot. I find if I do things or surround myself with things that I find creative it's helped me. For me things like video games have helped. If I play games that have graphics that I love it can make me feel creative. It's funny because none of the work I do is video game related. I also look at colorful artwork. I don't know why but colorful art has made me feel creative as well. I hope you find something that works for you because creative blocks are the worst.

And the forum is very slow so please don't feel bad if you don't get a lot of replies.

No worries at all.
I actually like colorful art or color combos (I love finding these on Pinterest) but its just not the same like it used to be. Before, I would be able to see colors and BOOM! I can see banners and blends and THINGS that I can do, but now... not so much.
Also, I should note, I've been really depressed intermittently for about 2 years now. It comes, it goes and when I try to get back on track I can either pick up where I left off at or just start doing something new.

I've had that at times as well. It's hard for me to want to do anything let alone art when it comes. I'm sorry you have to go through it. I really hope you can find simething that brings you out and you feel creative again. I'm sorry for replying late I'm suppose to get an email letting me know there are new posts.
