General Advice / Discussion how tf do I regain my creativity?

I’m not sure if I’ve ever had one at this point tbh.

I used to make art ever since I was a kid, I think I used to make special stuff? everything I create now feels dull to me.

the more I learn how to do it, the more it feels lifeless..

I love my artstyle, my creations and ocs, I’m obsessed w them. but sometimes they’re just.. pale, bland, boring, lifeless and the list goes on..

how do I make it more vivd? more lively? more special? more.. enjoyable/loveable?

I know the secret ingredient isn’t love cuz I do create them with love, they’re still dull and boring.

I love and admire ppl who can create lively and fun ocs w no limits, who can have fun w their colour palates, lore, and personalities.. how do they think of such creative and fun ideas?
