For the past six months or so I am completely unable to draw... I take out my pencils and pens.. I stare at the paper and nothing comes. I try little sketches of characters I like... a few original characters but I stop halfway through because I just don't feel it.

I used to draw for hours every day and the ideas never stopped coming to me. I can't understand how something so involved in my life could just leave.

How do you guys get inspired?

I just draw more when I have an art block. However, I don't draw from my imagination, I'm more likely to go draw someone or something else, like drawing my dog or my family members, or go outside and draw the scenery. I usually end up with inspiration when I keep drawing things that don't require it.

Or, just take a walk. It's good for the body and you might find something interesting along the way.
