How to return to creation after a serious illness?

[amedvleec]

I got really sick a month ago, which meant I couldn't draw my comic or anything else. I also celebrated my birthday sick.
I'm still sick, but I'm feeling better.

How can I get my creative juices flowing again?

I really want to draw, but I'm just exhausted.
Has anyone else ever felt this way? How did you get through it?

Little steps at a time. Just doodling your ocs in something like an au can help you get back to creating with less pressure

Thank you very much for your answer!

It can be tough, but the most important thing is to do things at your own pace. Like Leyelle said, do some simple doodles to get rid of that itch to create something. Maybe some light brainstorming or silly memes with your OC's.

The important thing is not to push yourself so much that you burn out or have your health suffer again. You can also try consuming more of the content that inspires you to get the gears moving again. Best of luck and hope you feel better soon!

Hi everyone!

As the initial poster seems to be speaking about motivation relating to art creation, I'll be leaving this open for now.

However, please refrain from spreading misinformation and/or providing or requesting medical advice. Consult licensed medical professionals for concerns about your health.

I would start by drawing ocs I've drawn often... then life drawing plants, animals, etc. That's what I did after taking 4 year hiatus from anything art related.

Get well soon

Focus on your health and maybe do some doodles and sketches don’t overdo it. Perhaps do one drawing a day

Try the easiest way: turn on your favourite music and make tea/coffee and surrender to your feelings, let them start and then pick up the moment

Take it one day at a time! It's not easy at all, and I do hope you feel better!

As everyone suggested, drawing your ocs is a wonderful start. No need to jump right into the hot pan just yet, get yourself warmed up and have fun! : D~! Creative jucies flow when we are feeling good, so take your time and just start with small sketches. Not even fully rendered stuff, just random doodles of your characters and have fun with it! Maybe a personal sketchbook would help so it feels more for you and only for your eyes!

I hope you make a quick recovery and that you keep creating dude! YOU GOT THIS ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧
