I can never decide what to draw
That’s kinda about it. I LOVE art more than absolutely anything and would 100% spend all of my time creating art if I didn’t have a job or other things to do. But the problem is, I can never get an idea or decide what to draw no matter how hard I try. Same with painting or any other medium. I’m still in highschool and every non academic class I’ve taken has been art, I’m not kidding. The year I just finished had 4 art classes and every other year has been the same, I have made countless drawings and paintings and ceramic pieces and have been told, not to get myself like so worked up on it, I’m one of the most talented in the class. So like I know I am good at art, and I love it. Though when I’m at home, and want to create something I can NEVER get myself to do it unless i pretty much copy something I see on Pinterest. Don’t get me wrong, I have created many original artworks, all my art has been original (with of course, influences from things I’ve seen). But i seriously don’t know why I cannot get the motivation to do something. And I don’t know how to fix it. I’ve always been like this and it sucks.
I’m sure just about every artist struggles with the same thing but the rare chance there’s people out there who don’t, or have fixed this issue, how did you do it?
