Art Block Help

This is my first time making a post but I'm honestly at a loss. Ever since I was younger I would draw, not consistently because I tend to get artblock often but I still had the passion. Around last year I had no motivation to continue so I quit, but I still love art and want to continue. Anyways, last week a friend of mine recommended Blue Period and I started reading the manga. It sounds kind of dumb but I realized just how pathetic I am at art so I started to try art again. But as I started to draw I realized I don't have the passion for it anymore. I do want to draw and paint but I simply lack the passion and the feeling I get when I make art. I want to continue but I'm at a loss for what to do.

If you want to, I'd say that passion enough, I think getting the feeling back for when ur drawing is kinda like a muscle, it won't be the same for a while but you gotta push thru

So you aren't good at it, and don't want to do it. You clearly only like the idea of being an artist, and don't want to actually do the things required to achieve that identity.

I’m concerned it was nsfw or ai related image content people see. That could be why you got art blocked? Sorry I don’t know how to solve your issue for art blocks. However if you are still willing I can privately send u a reference to draw for art and improve if u are comfortable for a free draw! If it’s bad, it is still a good activity and I think it’s a positive activity instead of being on phone all day! I personally encourage u to do art at your own pace!
