What sorts of practice do you do when you feel uninspired/have

>>2877578
I either take a break from art and will watch a movie or read or listen to music, or I will do some studies since that requires less creativity than creating original art.

Fundamental perspective, anatomy reviews (I am not good).

Hands and feet. I could like to be good at those things.

Objects.

Just mindless mechanics.

Sleep

Are there any teachers here who have had sex with their pupils?

This girl in my class likes me and is being super obvious about it. She's very cute and I haven't had sex in a long time so I won't be able to hold it for much longer. Now, I assume if we keep this a secret there will be no collateral damage. Is there anything I should be prepared for?

Think about how terrible life is and how I'm not gonna make it and that it was dumb to think that it was ever possible. Then I mope around and just overall do nothing but shitpost on /ic/ while thinking about how shitty and boring life is and whether or not ending it is the right choice. You're probably wondering how I get out of this, who said I did though? I hear changing diets and working out help, but meh. Forget it. It's probably a lie anyways.

I pull back and do something that doesn't put any stress on my "creative cells." Draw a mug sitting on my table, parallel lines and ellipses, a couple boxes in perspective, circular cutouts from a plane in perspective etc.

One reliable way of getting rid of frustration is having a couple Vilppu videos on your hard drive. His calm voice, smooth hand movement and honest love of his craft always reminds me of why I do what I do.

No, but I could have a couple times if I wasn't totally into my girlfriend at the time. First, find out the official rules of conduct for staff where you teach. If it's against the rules or she's underage, I wouldn't. You also have to assume that if a relationship of this sort turns sour, there will be a social media gossip explosion which could put pressure on the admins to let you go anyway.

I don't try to force myself to be creative when I don't have anything to say. I am a very curious person with a broad range of interests and hobbies. There's always something else to do. I have never run out of ideas or inspiration. Motivation, sure. But that's another topic. I advise just being more curious and letting yourself mentally explore the world.

If I get a creative block. I stop. I get away from the desk, pour a cup of something and read a book. It'll come back when it wants to. But FFS act on it when it does.

If I feel uninspired I go out for a walk, preferably in a park, or somewhere with wide open space and without distractions. The key is to empty my head, to get into the frame of mind of just 'being', not 'doing', free of deliberate thought. I find that if my head is in a free state it has an opportunity to associate freely, make its own connections. Usually, some new cool idea or solution pops into my head by itself.

Of course, everybody has got their own preference, but reading a book, listening to music or watching a movie are all things that influence your thoughts and force them in certain directions. Directions that are are not your own, and you don't necessarily want to go in.

I go to drawthreads and draw the suggestions. If I don't have anything I want to draw I might as well make a few anons happy.

I draw shit I hate. I can figure out what I'd rather be drawing almost immediately
