Artists....trying to stay motivated?

Yeah I am also. Really. People see that I create a daily sketchbook page, but sometimes it's  so hard to look for the imagination and drive to get it going.
So, I decided that my rhythms as a creative being comes in spurts, its like when your car is running out of gas it sputters. Jumps ahead a little, then sputters, you fill it up and it flies!

I'm accepting that now, and it comes back to me easier. A lot of times artists & crafters get frustrated with what they're working on, and just quit. Go ahead and step back.
That is how you feel occasionally, and it's ok to just sit back, acknowledge and watch these feelings. It's helped me, maybe it will help you to overcome that block....know it's just momentary.
​
Observe and breathe for a minute, just watch, and try to get some energy by reading, watching documentaries, and looking at art. You WILL see something that sparks a light in you.....I promise. Research can be,  and often is inspiring.  I've found that if I lay back on creating and delve into research and just enjoy the art that others are creating it stirs my imagination. What if they did this or combined it this way, and my mind is off and running.

For the past several weeks I've just drawn in my daily sketchbook, that was enough....a portrait of yourself helps also.

I took a vacation, let my mind wander. Hopefully my mind will come back refreshed when I return and pick up a paintbrush. Keep your fingers crossed.
