Whats Your Motivation To Draw Like What Keeps You Active To Keep Going And Gettin Done?

What’s your motivation to Draw like what keeps you active to keep going and gettin done?

I’m just looking for Advice because I’m struggling with getting one piece done

If you don’t mind

Hmmm- well for me 3 things. One- seeing other people’s artwork and listening/ watching YouTube videos about art. From tutorials, to historical videos, and “my life as a so-and-so artist”. Seeing another’s person’s art helps me feel creative. Even old paintings inspire me.

Second- the learning process. I enjoy learning new skills, and with art you’re constantly learning new things. How a certain lighting interacts with different colors, how this composition works, or by doing “this and this” it makes “this”.

One thing I found encouraging was how many really professional artists, to this day, have their own personal sketch books with scribbles and nonsense in them. Ones that they’re too embarrassed to show others cuz “oh I drew this wrong” or it’s them experimenting with different styles. Even if they’re considered “masters”.

The third is storytelling. I love stories and I enjoy creating stories even if just little short scenes with my drawings. I’m still learning and experimenting but I love it.

If you’re stuck on an art piece I do recommend taking a break and setting it aside. Take the time to engage with something you really enjoy, or inspires you. Yeah yeah I know- everyone says this but it’s true!

This is so true! Saint always shows his love through all the pet names he has for Osiris, while Osiris dances around his love. It's there--Saint knows it--but Osiris always has multiple walls up, even to those closest to him. But in that moment, when he calls Saint his love, Osiris feels like he needs to be direct. There is an urgency. This time Osiris was almost killed, was almost drowned out by the Witch Queen and unable to get out of this coma. This time he wants Saint to know Osiris loves him.

so like i was talking about it earlier and i can't sleep so im going to inflict my Thoughts abt osiris being Specific abt language and stuff on yall as well saint pretty much always uses possessives right "my fiery bird" "my friend" "my phoenix" "my Brother" "his beloved osiris" right like and i think a lot about "yours, in time" and things that are "too unspoken"

("go find your lost phoenix") and "tell saint i- nevermind, i'll tell him myself" (like he's correcting himself, or like it's hard to say, or it's something he needs to do Properly) saint's never had trouble telling the whole world what he thinks and feels (apart from when he's stressed, then he just shoulders it because That's What He Does but i digress) osiris writes obscure poetry and doesn't say the words, necessarily ("he touches my cheek. his eyes say things that words cannot") and like he doesn't Need to really, saint Knows this, but- ("why all the fuss?" "i owe him") anyway. my point is. my Point. is. the First Thing He Says ("I reach for aid - my hand is held - saint?") is "Saint, my love."

So, Bubo will do all of these. Gambit she secretly enjoys because Tripore is a Dregen and it's fun sometimes. Patrols have to be done, tho it's not her favorite thing. Bubo does use it to find flowers. Raids and dungeons, again she has to because she's the YW.

But crucible? Ha. And I mean, regular crucible not trials and IB. She does Trials every once in a blue moon (mainly cause she can't say no to Saint and Violet is such a good sniper that it's a breeze on certain maps). She likes Iron Banner for some reason and Saladin wouldn't allow an iron lord in training to miss it.

But regular ol' Crucible? Nah. Bubo stays away from that with a ten foot pole. The only game mode Shaxx can get her to do is Mayhem when she needs to blow off some stream by throwing Dawnblades and Nova Bombs in people's faces. But she stays away from crucible. It doesn't help that people always compare her to Ikora, and Bubo doesn't always feel like she lives up to her mentor. Plus, Bubo has been hit with snipers and shotguns to the face one too many times at the point and can't deal with it
