Writer's Block... Hey guys, long time since I've been here... anyway.. thought I might be able to get some help.. Over the months, I've developed a form of 'writer's block' for artistry. Whenever I pick up a pen or a pencil, I can't picture... or imagine.. or think of anything to draw. So I just make faces out of circles... but I do still keep up on the sketching of graffiti... but I ONLY seem to draw the letter 'S'... everytime I pick up a pencil or what have you... it's like this... Just wondering if either A: Anyone has gone through this... B: What I can do to fix it.. Now I saw the thread on 'if you need motivation (or whatever it said' with all the sick shit in it... didn't really help.. just pissed me off that I can't draw like that anymore. ...
dont force it........when i have writers block i dont attempt to draw until i truly feel inspired, or i only draw simples
there's alot of things you can do to overcome this and some things work better than others but these are just suggestions of what gets me by, 1. Take a walk, stroll, drive, and look at things experience your city and gain inspiration for what it has to offer 2. Sketch through it. its hard at first but put time into a work and push yourself through it. By the time your finished it'll be 3 in the morning but your head will be swarming with ideas 3. Draw in a friends blackbook some people produce better artwork if its for someone, the need to do good and impress others with your artwork 4. Do what your willing to do. not everyday are you going to be ready and willing to do a two page wildstyle burner. do simple shit if your feeling lazy but always keep yourself drawing 5. Don't let anything block your creativity, get wild, its just a drawing it doesn't mean it has to be shown to the world so try weird shit you wouldn't normally do thats all i got for now ill write more if i think of anymore tips
when i get writers block for graffiti i write some rhymes and when i get block for rhymes i pick up the black book. the cycle repeats.
i get writers block alot to. so i just end up doing throws and hands. its very rare now that i get a piece in my head. but it still happens when i get good info. silentwrytes.com its a great site to of nothing but graf pics.
if i get a writers block. i put down the bong and grab the 40. usually works. keep sketchin. thats the only way to get outta it. if you cant come up with new ideas, just sketch old shit and be consistant.

When I get Writers Block, I get on BS talk to someone on MSN and Complain about my Graff, then I get back to it.
my last writer's block...i kept droppin wack shit for about 3 months, then my homie Kloke says we should do a style exchange. I dropped his name in this dope as burner style, and ever since then, i've been comin up wit rad shit like every day almost...it really does help to try out a new name, it just gets u thinkin.
im going through it right now, is it just me or does anyone else get extremley depressed when it happens?
Ditto on the depression thing. i havent drawn anything solid in a few weeks just Handys and Handys and Handys
i always experiment with stlyes i tryin to draw pieces as much as i can...what makes me wanna do my best is when i look in those Style-File magazines they got some crazy shit in there
