Art Block doesn't exist to me, I never had one. But if you experience one, I hope I can give you some tips to overcome it. I get most inspired by colours, shapes and Nature. But inspiration is everywhere, inside your head

and outside your head. How about flowers, animals and planets? Getting an idea yet?

What about fantasy and imagination? Don't lose your childhood imaginations, build on them they are useful parts of yours. As an adult it's great to still be a dreamer. Believe in yourself! Doodle more, use different materials, sleep well and eat healthy. Get fresh air, be in Nature. Make time for creating, if it is really important to you. Don't rush it, art takes time. Patience and Practice are important key factors. Switch off the internet and be by yourself to think and breath. Don't doubt yourself. No one can teach you art better, than your own self. Don't listen to people who let you down. If you using a reference don't copy the whole thing, draw what you see with your eyes, not what everyone else could see. Train yourself to draw from your imagination because it isn't unrealistic, but it is better. Just start, you don't have to know first what you going to create beforehand.

Don't compare yourself to other artists and just be yourself. Don't be afraid to be yourself, because you are special in your own way. It's better to stand out. Standing out means that you've got your own style.

Look from within you. Get inspired by your own dreams, experiences and likes. Go with your emotions to create something. Listen to music you love and get inspired to create something that’s you.

Don't give up on yourself, there are always new doors opening the way.

I hope this was helpful!
