Hey! No problem never put pressure on yourself. It will only demotivate you and make you anxious.
Also I am very happy to have you back :)
Love your personality, and your artworks
Personally when it's been a long time since I've drawn or written (because I really like to write too xD) or anything related to something artistic. I don't worry too much.
It should be something that makes you feel good, and then it's not as if it was a project in which it was absolutely necessary to move forward because other people are counting on you, or because I make a living from it.
Try to set goals for yourself. For example if I started illustrations it was both because I needed to express myself and I was in a difficult period, but also because I wanted to improve in drawing to become a game designer. It might motivate your brain to come back and do it often, because there's a specific goal and there's a reason to do it.
It's little by little that I really took pleasure in the process, because at the beginning I didn't really like (just the result) xD
Also do not hesitate to learn new techniques and new things so that you can draw more and more what you want, without being dependent on your drawing level.
For that I recommend that you practice drawing regularly without necessarily being art. Do not hesitate to take a look on the internet, it is an endless source of knowledge, and if you need advice or videos, do not hesitate to ask me, I will be there if you need help.
Er, there you go, sorry if this all sounded a bit confusing, and also sorry again for my very poor English.
But I think art is a mix between sincerity and sensitivity, so don't hesitate to put down on paper your real emotions and the things you love.
Good luck !!

For me, I like to write my ideas down as I go. When I can't find inspiration, I go back to my idea pool and see if anything interests me.

That’s a pretty good idea! Sorry for that hiatus of mine. I’ll finish a project I’m working on and perhaps we could continue on with the art mentoring. Do let me know if you’re free. Thanks mate.
