I have suddenly lost all inspiration to draw or complete anything whatsoever.
What's the best way to get out of an art-block, or a plateau of (un)improvement?

I suppose I've done pretty well. Ove one year I've gone from this...

But I don't know where to go now, or how to improve.

My art is still far from being worth any recognition, but I don't know where to go, or how to build up my will to draw again.

What can I do, Art Fags?

What do YOU do when you lose the will to draw while you have a pile of idiots who think your art is worth something (or in your case, a pile of people who know your art is worth something) and have no desire whatsoever to pick up a pencil?

I draw alot of inspiration from other drawings or photographs I see. Sometimes it makes me want to try drawing that pose, or using a certain color scheme. Sometimes, I don't want to do anything more than sketching faces, and the same faces over and over and over again around the margins of my papers or the tops of my worksheets. My most recent art block was pushed away when I wanted to draw Sailor Moon for the subject-obsessed friend. You can try drawing something for friends (but don't tell them you are, because then you might not want to and you might end up feeling guilty [but in case you do tell them that you are, and you don't, don't feel guilty!]). I guess drawing fan art would help? I unno.

BTW. Nice improvement. 3nodding Crazy pose. The a** seems a little big compared to the torso, since the it is so skinny, and maybe a little short maybe? And then the head seems right for the torso, but not for the lower body.

Well, thanks! ^_^ I'll try that then!
As for the a** being bigger - eh. The character does have slightly disproprtionate hips/thighs/legs/a**. Though I do suppose you're right that it is a littoe bit bigger than even 'disproportionate' should be. Thanks. I should've used a photo-reference for it but I was too lazy to find one so I ad-libbed it. But I haven't gotten anything near that quality recently. DX
