I have had the roughest weekend you can possibly imagine. Mentally and physically I was drained. I couldn't bring myself to do anything, not even draw, which is something I love to do despite not being the best artist in the world. It's strange that I didn't draw, considering the advice I'm about to give.
What's the one thing artists -professional or amateur- should do when they can't bring themselves to draw? Draw anyway.
Seriously.
Yes, you are tired or sick or depressed and want nothing but to wallow in your bed. But wallowing is the one thing that'll make everything worse, because you're lying in bed with nothing but you're thoughts, which got you into this mess in the first place.
Even though you're not in the mood to draw, you should distract yourself by doing it anyway. Forget about drawing a masterpiece, just doodle what you feel and get it out of your system. You don't even have to draw. Do something else you like, or need to do. Literally anything is better than overthinking things.
