✨ Bootcamp CHECK IN - Art Block ✨

Hey Bootcampers! ⚔

Hope you're having a GREAT August so far! 🔥 We were looking through everyone's responses from the recent Bootcamp CHECK IN post, and art block came up quite a bit. The two of us just wanted to give you all a few words of encouragement and a few tips so that you can stay inspired and create your best work!

Y'all are doing AMAZING! Keep up the great work and we're looking forward to getting 5.1 out to you next week!

✨ Bootcamp CHECK IN - Art Block ✨

Comments

Hi there!I hope Ross sees your comment. Since I have heard lots of my friends say the same thing to me, may be I can help you get some idea on how to get over this. You might be feeling lost when you try something other than studies because you may not be having a personal project in which you can apply what you have learnt. Maybe you can think of creating a comic, or create designs for a video game.Once you have an idea in mind, the amount of knowledge that you can gain from these studies will increase a lot since you will will have a way to implement things.Hope this helps you in some way:)

Replying a bit late but I wanted to share my experience. My art block shows up in a different way. I am doing pretty fine with the Bootcamp assignments because they are studies. But I realized that in other way, I am completely lost and kinda empty. Don't know if I'm alone with this but I really hope that if I practiced enough and improved enough, I will find my way...

Hello! I just replied to your DM! - Maiv

Hi! I don’t know if you got my DM but I joined a day ago and I’m wondering if I can still take August classes ):? I really want to! Thank you!

Thanks Ross & Stella I'm waiting for that class to drop going to be a lot of fun next week! :D

This is such a good reminder omg. Really needed to hear I can’t always be in output mode - I think as creatives we tend to forget to take care of ourselves too and not just the work

They give a few tips on how to overcome art block: take breaks, watch a movie and comeback or see what is it that you are having problems with, look for references and practice some more on that specific challenge

It still says *unable to find the video* ... some others here also seem to face the same problem ig😅

I can't watch the video... It says "unable to find the video" but it seems like I'm the only one here who can't play it😅

Finally got my first assignment in while I almost finish up my other art class

thanks a lot for this!

It's saying "unable to find the video":( "it's playing now, maybe it was just a glitch")

That was great! Side note: do NOT talk to your partner/parent/sibling/dog/cat about it. Haha They will be just:”whatchyou drawing?” While looking at your work that shows EXACTLY what it is you drawing 🙄 then say “oh that is an awesome leg, keep it up”…. I mean it helps. If only it was a leg. I jest of course. Do talk to everyone about it. Don’t be shy. The worst what can happen you will grow a thicker skin 💪🏻

Well I normally I cry for a day with a cup of hot chocolate in my bed, then the next day, I have to go for a walk, to prevent myself from crying again and after I walked I start again….nice

Thanks Ross and Stella💕

This is gonna come in handy cause art block sure has been present this days qwq, Thanks Ross and team!💜
