that is actually a good way to take a little break from drawing until you can get motivated. I have kinda been doing that too. X 3
or just taking time to relax and not think.

I can understand myself. I've been pretty tired from work and not very motivated to draw anything decent.
it just takes time and sometimes you just need a little break from drawing too get motivated.
You shouldn't force yourself!
I've been doing the little free adopt things with dreamself it's just the drawing thing that is stopping me from working on all my adopts that I have or anyone of my other OC's.
Oh, right. Yeah, well. I agree with Keba Si Rota; inspiration will come. You just got to give it time. Right now, try to inspire yourself by revisiting your favorite series or look for characters that you haven't drawn in a long time.
Try to take it easy maybe listen to music or watch TV or anime. Or play a game. Have you ever try the dress up game like the ones on Doll Divine? Or try the character generators or the click and drag. Those are fun and it gives you ideas to create characters.
No it's not fun at all. I'm just always so tired from working my two jobs that I just don't have the energy or motivation to really try to draw for myself or even work on submissions for challenges.
I guess the best advice I can give you is to give it time. Inspiration will come. If you want to draw for your own pleasure, you shouldn't force yourself. After all, forcing something isn't enjoyable at all.
Call it karma. Call it luck. Me, I just don't give a... BOUNCE!
Kind of won't work My main job is working on a farm/ small flower/ produce shop so I'm always on the move and don't really have time to stop and draw something. Also I usually don't have big pockets to carry a sketch pad and pen/pencil around with me. Second job I'm not really supposed to draw at either but I do from time to time anyways and it's usually just pokemon that I draw there.
Oh, okay. Never mind.
To inspire myself, I always carry a small sketchbook with me, along with a pencil and eraser. Wherever I go, I always have those supplies with me. If I ever get bored or an idea comes to mind, I quickly sketch it down. I even have it with me while watching anime or reading manga. I always find myself drawing my favorite characters while doing so. Maybe these tips can work for you too??

I know, hopefully I can get motivated soon. Maybe if I just focus on my stories for a little bit and try to get a chapter or two done it will help.

For me to get inspired, I look at artwork, scans, and screencaps. That might get your inspiration back.

If you have the time, you should do one of those 30-day drawing challenges, based on either your O.C.s or your favorite series.
