    Because honestly, I need some tips. I'm always in a GFX Block.

    I'm constantly coming here, checking to see if any new tuts have been posted, and I follow some tuts and I always get a crappy outcome minutes into the tutorial. It's very frustrating.

    So how do YOU get our of YOUR blocks?

    To be honest, sometimes the only way to get out of a block I feel, is to get back to basics. My best tag (Guitar Hero one in my signature) was made by teaching my cousins the basics of PS.

    Nothing works, I know because I tried everything.

    It just magically disappears.

    Here. Or There.
    Nothing really, it'll pass with time. Just keep making stuff until it goes away, and look for inspiration.

    I look for tutorials and just random art. Something in the form of inspiration. :)

    I have a folder called "sig ideas" and I save some sigs I like, most from here, and look at them and try to replicate the styles, but I end up despising my piece fifteen seconds into it.

    Could the fact that I make sigs, like, once a month help towards making the block bigger?
