People, how do you define what is an art block for you, and how would you describe the feeling?

......i need to know, i have been around (hobbyist) artists online and offline for such a long time now that I feel like the only person on the entire planet who has never experienced an art block.....

art block for me is like having less ideas to think about and just feeling bad when you pick up a pencil to draw. and when you force yourself to draw something you believe you downgraded your art and you just dont want to draw for like,,,, 2 weeks lol
It's not having any inspiration (the moment you just redraw old stuff, or eyes) or can't even draw cause you start questionning whether you are an artist or not 😢. I had that a lot because I put myself too much pressure to "feed" my insta good drawing at a regular schedule.

The other kind of block is when I have ideas but they turn horrible instantly, I can't get anything right, even a face doesn't look like a damn face 😤.

Sometimes you juste gotta give yourself, time space, and do anything else but art, we are no machines ❤️.
art block for me is when i’m incapable or unmotivated to draw and/or if i’m out of ideas. having art block while you’re in art school is a whoooole ‘notha can of worms. normally, i would draw on average 1-5 or upwards of 7-10 character doodles a day.
"I want to draw something! It'll be great!"
"I'm ready to draw... What was it?"
"ugh... Idk"
