Keep in mind that you don’t have to create on a daily basis, in an artist life, we have other stuff to do, from work to keeping our social life with our friends.
However, don’t feel bad if you’re enable to create for the moment, it might be just an art block that you will overcome with time.
Nevertheless, when you have a free time for yourself, try to just do it for 5 minutes, 5 minutes is nothing right ? So why not just do it even if it’s just one word / one sentence, it’s okay, 1% is better than 0%.
Slowly but surely you will get back on track ! 💪🏽

you gotta work on something everyday. even if you don’t think you’ll ever reveal it to the public. even if it’s not in the medium you typically work in (if you paint, do a pencil drawing or write a poem…if you sculpt try making an abstract pastel drawing…if you write essays try writing a song…so on and so forth). even if it’s !not good! that’s fine. even if you work on a little bit each day that’s okay. you’re still stimulating your brain and when the block is over your mind with be warmed up and ready. this is def something i’ve struggled with recently but making an effort to keep myself active creatively has helped a ton.

This is prolly a therapy practice or smthn and I don't know it lol BUT i think it's v refreshing and healing for the soul to spend 30 mins/day simply creating something from scratch. It can be anything, like:
- A journal entry
- Rough draft of a story you have rattling in your head
- A silly doodle with no rhyme or reason
- A random collage
- Improv on the piano/guitar/instrument of choice
- Embroidering on an old shirt you're trying to revive
It's easy to get caught up in the gears of life and responsibility; getting into the small habit of creating something new is a good way to stay in touch with yourself and remember that you've got that spark in you <3

I can’t find the Creator and i am mad about it because i wanna credit the one who made sure to put this for free.
I’ve found this website RetroPrint where they show the details of how you can make a Windows 95 customised theme on your phone (with over 800 icons app to choose from 27 of them are already made for the modern apps like netflix twitter etc - some graphics for the widgets too And 3 sounds.)

If there is one style that literally calms me is stippling.
The endless dots, the slow process, the nuance effect, the final results.
I just love it and appreciate it even more when i spend hours/days to finish one.

The fact that i can stay in bed warm with my phone or laptop and music in the background as i watch my favourite movies/series/youtube vids with a warm tea is simple enough to make me grateful for wherever i am today.
Worrying about what I should wear to work is a beautiful thing because it’s a privilege that sadly some people can’t afford :(
Complaining about to cook is a beautiful thing because someone somewhere sadly can’t even afford/have access to a simple bread piece.
Literally feeling the warmth of the sun while standing waiting for the bus is a beautiful thing to cherish and be grateful for.
