I feel stuck.

[rip_design]

I don't feel like I'm progressing anywhere these past couple of weeks. Nada. These are my latest works, and while they look cool, I don't feel like I improved or did anything better then the last ones I did.
any tips, tricks, or videos that might get me back on the horse are more then welcme.

Copy other peoples art. That's what I do when I feel stuck or unmotivated. and will probably force you to use different techniques than you usually do.
Then you can adapt their art to your own style.

they look like they have a lot more thought put into them. like -martin- said, try different styles.

Play with different line weights.

I think the designs you've posted here would look better with colour. Like neo traditional style?

Personally I regularly cycle between phases of drawing, painting, tattooing, building things and just doing f' all
So when stuck I just stop and do something else for a while...

If you want to keep drawing I would suggest maybe switching to a different (non-digital) medium and I think -martin- 's suggestion of (re)drawing other peoples work and styles is a good one to go with

Isnt there that draw October thing?? Seem to remember seeing something. Where this website gives you a random word a day and you just do little drawing from your imagination. Could be a cool idea to get you thinking up things rather than just copying?

go on pinterest. put your drawings in as "pins". then go and look at your drawings. scroll down and see what "related" drawings come up......if that doesn't give you ideas....i don't know what will.

I didn't get any notifications for some reason :|

I'm currently using 3/4 line weights. I'm trying to do neo Traditional and few line weights is one of the only rules.

I've never heard of it. Can you give me a link?

That's a great idea, thanks!

I'm actually hoping to know how to draw neo Trad

This is how I came across it

When my art/drawings feels like I'm stuck or not progressing I dabble in a different style media. for example I drew and drew until drawing felt numb so I grabbed some rattle paint cans and some masking tape and learned to create from the base up through trial and error (hard to see the gas tank on the motorcycle but that's a rattle can job) 5 layers of paint and tape, after I did that I had all new ideas for drawings. don't stagnate and stick with one style or media change it up and you'll never run out of ideas. or you can always turn to other peoples art even style you want to avoid and redraw them or recreate their art as your style.
