Why is it moving on can be so difficult?

Over a year ago I seemed to hit something of a brick wall with sculpting, didn't figure out what it was (still haven't) and since then I've been trying to figure out how to move on from here. There's a wealth of things I want to try my hand at, loads of minis to sculpt and new things to try (got some mix quick recently to make fimo sticky with use which seems ideal).

But, it's just that awkward moving on part, I seem to be stuck in neutral and unable to make any real progress.

It can't be indecision, as I have things to sculpt for AOW which HAVE to be in green stuff, but making those moves seem to hard and the quality of the work, not good, almost like I'm constantly second guessing myself and my choices with sculpting anything.

Trying to work out how to regain control and get back on the horse is difficult and I have no idea why.

I'm eccentric, caffeine addicted, introverted, perverted, insane and utterly loveable.

I'm also incredibly modest. <:

just started posting some of my own stuff and browsing through the artists on DA even though ive been a member for over a year.

not sure where I will go with it yet

but I had to comment when I linked to you through your comments at "dreamsfloatingby" to check out the work you had posted.

I think all of us hit "dead zones" every now and then. I wish you well and hope you get that spark again.

I kind of agree with other comments, that it can help sometimes to just make some art for yourself using a medium that you might know a little about but have not really mastered.

something totally different than what you have been working with in sculpture. since it is for you, just let the medium of choice go, to be what it will

and don’t push or worry too much about control. it just might free you up a bit. it is worth a try??

I have done flat art in many different mediums for most of my life and I found that doing some sculpture now and then was a good braine refresher because it was not my area of normal

work.

don’t know if you like music or play any instrument but that you might find therapeutic??

hope this helps somehow!

being in that "stuck" place sucks!! I know!

cheers

good luck

I'll be "watching " you

Thanks for the comment, I'm trying to use that approach at the moment, something different, something not done before, I'm hoping it will help.

Cheers!

Nope unfortunately, but it was still a good feedback experience.
