Creative blocking / Conclusions
Opinions of some artists
With a little more of the participation of some other digital artists, we will know more experiences, on how to help you to solve a creative block.
The first thing is that your mind may need a change of environment, a little movement could be the key.
Ideas can be diminished by falling into isolation, especially when our pace of life or our work requires us to stay in offices or study rooms, we ourselves could be drowning our own mind.
On the other hand, take care of yourself, rest is part of the process in which our brain resets itself.
Also, valuing your own artistic appreciation will fuel your will to continue, give yourself the opportunity to experiment with what you are learning, don't restrict yourself, try something new, maybe something inspired by someone else's work that somehow caught your attention, or something you yourself would like to see.
-Enough sleep and consume others artist works and inspired, and most important one is appreciate our own work before put it out, don't create or present any work that social viral but you don't like it.- Bim
Moving on, try to take advantage of what technology has to offer you.
The advantage of digital art is that you can combine your ideas with some external model, use references, inspirations, suggestions and above all, consider variety as a way in which the imagination can be refreshed, a thematic change gives a new air to your thoughts.

A very important point is to recognise your source of inspiration, with a little attention you can identify that one thing that usually helps you get into the creativity zone, usually known as finding your muse, whether it is a person, situation or environment that facilitates your connection with theideas, from a hobby to meeting friends, you will know when you find it.
-Most often the source is music or when you watch a movie, but music helps the most. Music with words or without words, it doesn't matter. When you listen to it thoughts will flash through your head.- EnGy | Th3Cat
And it is precisely after finding your own muse that you learn to stop pressuring yourself, because creativity is like air, you can't catch it whit your hands, but you can take advantage of its presence in your environment.
Even an idea that you have already taken advantage of, can become a new creation if you give it a chance and give yourself the time to imagine.
-Nature it self, looking at people, listening to music or a particular song can help me a lot! I should also add.
I sometimes do go back to my old prompts to revise and update! it’ll be new again.- Che.lla74
It’s important to take care of your health and inner balance; the more energy and willingness we have to act, the easier it is to be inspired and stay creative.

Sometimes inspiration is lose, i have to say, but I focus in other things, I will stard old things and to re-catch up the vibes.
Usually, I take a step back. And go live my life, pay extra attention to my family, watch some more movies, read some more books, look at the world around me.

Going out is very useful for the creative process, when you stay in one place (like your room), creativity stagnates since we see the same thing every day, but when you go out, what surrounds us can stimulate your mind and awaken that creativity
I borrow ideas from what people have done in the past and build on them.
I use a lot of SREF (Style Reference codes) codes and I will occasionally try to do a pic where my subject matches the SREF.

Sometimes challenges may help get some inspiration, or even asking a friend for a random topic may help spark something.
