I LOVE to draw. Last year I went through 2 sketchbooks just during the school year (about 200 pages together). So yeah, last year was really awesome because I could think of something and just draw it as it came to me. And I could see as I improved. Now, I don't draw nearly as much :( Over the summer, I guess I kind of lost inspiration and just didn't bother getting started again. Well this year I'm taking art again and I love it, but it's so hard to start drawing again. I don't draw near as good as I did last year, I don't draw near as often, and my ideas aren't nearly as creative. I hate feeling like I have to start over at the beginning again, but I'm just not as inspired and creative as I was last year. This year, I've taken to looking at pictures on art sites like Deviantart. I love looking through them and everything just amazes me and inspires me. Unfortunately, it's the wrong kind of inspiration :( It's like, if I see a picture of flowers, I want to try to draw flowers like them. If I see a painting of a circus, I want to draw a circus too. I hate it because none of those are my original ideas and I feel like a copy cat :( How do I get my creativity back? Not only do I love drawing, I'm also going into advertising in the future and that involves a GREAT deal of creativity and originality. Please help :( thanks! (link)

Haaa well this is a good qustion. iv been into art for years i did it all through school and 2 years of college too. i love doing pencial sketches and pastel pictures. i was like you i drew what ever came to mind and tryed to make it look like what i was thinking of, but suddenly i lost it and got bored of drawing because my frustration for not having anything creative to put to paper just illuded me. i soon got back into it though after finding sculpting and painting too much of an arsey way of gettin my ideas out. i tried what you did by copying somthing but i grew tired of getting the same results... mainly the result of having a copy of somthing that allready existed. I detatched my mind and started drawing somthing but then with out a thought i put a line down by not meaning to and the vase and flower that i was drawing suddenly sparked somthing off to me to draw somthing mechanical looking. so the vase looked normall at the bottom and as it went up the vase the organic quality's of the flower disapered into rust and gears and wire looking objects making up a flower shaped man made object.
so my advice would be to try and detach your mind and mix it up a bit by putting in things that would usually contrast what you had intended on drawing. say the fight between organic qualities and mechanized man made obbsession. if you get my meaning. hopefully i'v sparked off some means of insiration, but dont give up! iv only coverd a tiny part of what you could draw or design, your mind is your own and no matter how silly you may think your idea is, just try it and add too it when your feeling arty! good luck
