The pepe attached is the first thing I've drawn in a while, traditional with boosted contrast on pencil lines.
>Be me
>Browsing 4chan like my inner autist says to
>I suddenly am infused with the knowledge to the universe
>I am omniscient
>fuck yeah
>there are 4 stages that an artist has and randomly flip flops between
>1-the ‘God’ phase, they are fucking animals with a pencil, sees a leaf or pebble and instantly knows exactly what the need to paint, and they need to paint it now often those in stage 1 will abandon other things so they can get rid of the inspiration at the forefront of their minds
>2-the ‘Meh’ phase people need to actively seek out inspiration, or just draws random doodles and connect the doodles to make a drawing easily. Is the most common state an artist resides in, and will be able to wait for days to draw a final piece
>3-the ‘blocked’ stage, a terrible, but quickly over come stage that involves a lot of moping and time that is wasted not making art. doesn’t seek inspiration, or has tried it but it failed. the third phase it usually brought on by self pity, and feels of inferiority after seeing god tier art by others.
>4-the ‘Dead’ stage. it’s a mix of the above three. people infected with this parasitic bullshit think they are in stage three with occasional bouts of one and two. They feel inspired mentally, but they are in an illusion. They cannot function normally, and often have to mask the true feelings of pain that they feel when they know they are incapable at that moment of making art. No one knows how this is started or ended, people just realize one day that they are out of their funk, or are balls deep in the stage without realizing it.
>am in phase four, have been for a while now
Does anyone else think this is accurate? Anyone else going through 4, or do I just suck at creativity?
being creative is part of my identity here. I am losing who I am.
what do?
