Does anyone else notice that they draw differently when they're in different states of mind? This can be different moods in a day to day sense, or having gone through life changing events.
After finishing school I ended up having a breakdown and didn't paint or draw for a long time. A whole bunch of other stuff has happened since then, including me getting into illustration and attempting to establish an online presence. While I still have a long way to go, I have noticed that my drawing and painting now is totally different to previous periods in my life. I'm regaining a sense of calm and it's starting to become reflected within my work. I also used to take a lot of drugs and as a result my work was manic and a lot harsher looking and it's sad because I miss my work looking like that. I feel like it had more attitude and that it was just cooler in general.
Eh, I'm rambling. Just reflecting on things I guess. Anyone else had similar experiences?

I've felt the exact same. I tend to put myself on art hiatus whenever life becomes extremely stressful and difficult. It's something I wish I didn't do because it makes it harder for me to reflect on my art daily to see progress or even improvement. This state of stale creativity can go on for months and every time I feel I can't even recognize my art anymore. I've lost many skills and styles that I wish I could've kept. I'm currently working to get back into my art right now. I haven't drawn in weeks. It's a roller coaster I feel most artists have to go through but especially in art communities like this there is always support that makes things a little bit easier. heart
