Ugh

I don't know whether it's the pressure of my many things going on at the moment (only just finished uni for the semester, I have my musical coming up, work, meant to be doing training for Scouts, going to Scouts in general, my 21st coming up which my mum wants me to plan out so it's spectacular, website requests for relatives, and my friends wanting me to remake a movie... The list of commitments goes on), or whether my time has just come but...

I've totally hit the wall in terms of art. I've had slumps before (I just got over a mini one, I thought), but this is just...

It's SO unlike a writing block, which is really weird for me. I know how to get around writing blocks, where it's generally a case of my inspiration running low.

I know exactly what I want to draw. I know what I want it to look like. I even know how the lines should look. For some reason, however, there's some massive miscommunication between my brain and my hand, and nothing is coming out right. Even just flat out copying from references, or even going back and drawing skeletons or impressions... All not working. I'm not entirely sure what has gone wrong, and I'm drawing blanks on how to fix the issue.

I have a bit of a back log on my art, including a contest prize which I wanted to get done relatively quickly. Not to mention I'm doing an 'introduction to drawing' class elective next semester, where the lecturer is infamously a bit of a dick, so I was hoping to come into the class with at least some skill behind me. So... This whole thing is really a bit of a problem for me. Art is usually a stress relief for me, but this whole thing is just adding to my issues. The fact that I feel I'm becoming worse instead of better is really worrying for me.

Has anyone gone through this problem before? What were your fixes that got you out of it?
CAN I BE CURED?!?! XD

To be honest, I'm kind of wondering why you weren't there already :D
Awww, that's sweet of you to say. :)
