In a slump... Inspiration Help?

[Kitsune no Gatsu Mei]

Over the summer, I've been drawing less and less, and no matter what I do, I can't seem to find inspiration or motivation. I'll pull out a piece of paper and a pencil and just start doodling, like I usually do, but nothing comes of it. It ends up a scribble, which isn't very common for me. I have a few commissions, each of different types. they range everywhere from a stencil, to a tattoo, to character commissions, and yet I still can't seem to get them done. And that's no even mentioning the contest entry. >.<

So, this is where I ask your help. What gets your creative juices flowing? What makes you run and grab your sketchpad?

I usually get inspiration when I draw something new which is why we have monthly contests

Or try writing down ideas and then draw them one by one

I agree with RzDz. It help when you have an idea in mind when you're about to draw something....And a little music couldn't hurt either. biggrin
