At the beginning of this past year, I really got into drawing. I don't know why, but it started with random doodles and ended with some pretty good realistic and some cartoons. My dad said I have a talent, but I didn't think so. Eventually, I just ran out of inspiration and started drawing crappy again :[ I'm confused, how did I go from talent to no talent so quickly? And now I want to start drawing again, but it's so bad it's discouraging. It's like some part of me WANTS to draw, but the rest of me doesn't... how can I make myself love drawing again? I just don't know... (link)
Everyone has, what I call, "genius moments", where one seems to have so great of an inspiration that one actually suddenly becomes good at something. Even I have those moments every now and then.

The key to opening these moments is to find out what inspires you the most. You "lost your talent" probably because you got bored or probably you have lost what I call "the artist's inspiration". Try relaxing your mind and think of the things that you like to draw the most. After doing this for a while get a sheet of paper and start drawing whatever it is that comes to your mind. I do this trick often whenever I feel that I've lost interest in drawing or if I just can seem to find any ideas on what to draw. (specially if a deadline is due)

Or try this one, whenever I get mentally blocked,
I watch some anime on the net, that usually gives me some ideas, I don't know if this will work for you but its well worth trying.

Oh, and i also find it helpful to see some other people's artwork. It always seems to inspire me to be a better artist. If you want to see other people's work you can visit deviantart.com just to get you inspired.

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your drawing career
