Hmm. Maybe....return to the art for 15 minutes a day for the next three days of a week?
See how that goes. If it doesn't, then maybe another week break before trying again?
If it does work, perhaps slowly increase either that time, or the days that you work on it for the week.
No idea if any of these suggestions might help or not, but it can't hurt, right?

Yeah, the maintenance part is awful.
Ah, ok. I tend to still get pinged places even though I have in my signature not to ping if I am actively chatting in the thread, lol. It seems to not get notice though. -shrugs- It's whatever.

might be all that i can do until i stop stressing out so badly. :vanora_sweat:
I am also working on trying to do more anatomy gesture studies.
I did one half body today. which looks pretty okay. finding poses i can see/study is kinda hard though of RL people with not a whole lot of
super silky clothing. so been looking out athletic pictures for anatomy. might be all i can do. studies until i can work up to
getting my wips done.

My siggy also goes unnoticed.
when i am not in my own threads I do like being pinged but sometimes
people don't do that. :vanora_cry:
so i never return and just stay in my threads. i have a pretty bad memory so it's hard for me to remember
where i posted. so staying in my threads kinda just is best for me.

Here's hoping it helps you get back into it!
Ah, that sounds pretty cool. Yeah, there are a lot more examples of drawn people rather than rl examples.

It feels like the opposite to me. Most people seem to ping their replies more often than not.
I just have a bad habit of not pinging people in most situations.
Only rarely or if the response seems like it needs to bring their notice to it as soon as possible.
Keeping to your own threads works as long as you have at least one other person to chat with.

Yeah. though i have to see RL people for this new technique on how to draw
bodies since i watched a video. i tried it out once but want to continue it as it's just getting
the movement down. but darn the folds on clothing. i can't see well when some model pictures
have like dresses or skirts of blazers on lol. so i just look at athlete pictures or ballet dancer photos. XD

Yeah. though not too many people post in my threads.
so i am usually always on a sort of lurking mode/hiatus.
as my threads don't get many posters. i guess i should've gone with a different theme for my threads :vanora_xd:

Yeah, clothing can make it a lot harder.
Hey, if it works, that works!

It might not always be the theme. It just seems like some threads like to die.
Not sure how some threads get gravitated towards more than others.

yes it does. and i always end up liking a picture to where i can't see
their legs as it's covered by a dress. :vanora_xd:
Haha yeah. though i am super picky for the poses to draw.

yeah maybe. i always assume it's the theme. this one is honestly just based off
my art and my art discord. so it's more centered on my art than anything.

Makes it easier to cover up unwanted body parts if if you cover them with long clothing.
I tend to be lazy about drawing hands and toes, so they just get pointed or rounded off. lol.

Ah, just by the title, I would guess it was just a general hangout that you own. I would have to double check the first page to see the theme. (I just jumped right in to posting again).

True. though i struggle with seeing how the body twists and turns and such.
so i need like sporty form fitting since anatomy is the foundation of paintings.
and i want to try my hand at realism. which means so much studying. :vanora_cry:
I have a hard time calling any of my art pieces finished. I will work on them forever. i've called one finished but then
i've had so many tweaks since then that it's no longer finished. :vanora_xd:

The first post actually doesn't even say it's based off my art/discord.
because i am lazy. i should probably add that. and my link to my discord.
but idk if anyone would even be interested in it othe than the people who are in it.
but overall it's a super quiet/dead discord. cause i am very bad at finishing art. and maintaining things.. :vanora_cry:

@MoodyBats: Ah I see, I hope it wasn't
anything like stress relating to art
that caused you to not be interested in it anymore.

@Val: yes and no.
it's part of it but not all of what causes me to not enjoy it much.

Disappeared to listen to the community discussion.

Yeah, realism does involve a lot of studying the models.
Once I submit something I work on for someone, I call it done.
Though mine are just hand drawn. Might be a bit different if I were working on digital arts.

Ah, ok.
I am in far too many Discords. Probably need to actually weed out a few.

I can't even submit things to people if i don't like them
or if i feel i half-assed it.
which is how i get buried under all of my artwork. :vanora_xd:

Yeah I probably need to leave a few myself. as I don't actually participate in any other servers.
i just post art. but idk. i become less and less able to post art cause all i have is the same WIP. :vanora_sweat:

Ah. -hugs- Everyone goes about drawing differently.
I go with whatever look decent. Though my art isn't the greatest XD, so it's low quality submissions.

Yeah. Some of mine I just use to see updates. There are several I could drop though.
Hmm. What about cycling through a couple WIPs? Perhaps that could help?

i really feel embarrassed by my art since there is a lot i don't know.
might just stick with headshots for a while until i grasp arms and hands better.

I'm too embarrassed to post any of my wips.
most don't have hair, arms, hands, etc.

Head shots work. Gotta keep practicing on all of the other parts.
Ah. Could make it a separate channel. With a notice that most of them might not have any of those features.
But again, it's all up to you.

in my art channel I have a WIP channel so it's really all I post.
I have individual channels in my art discord for different things.
finished pieces, wips, studies, etc.

I just don't post that often in it as it's the same wips. i try not to create new things
until i finish something else.
