A Code Red for artists when they meet the wall and all motivation to draw suddenly disappear in the Bermuda Triangle. Simply when artistic libido is missing. Common causes are either a burnout from being too active with the pen, or a lack of inspiration/ideas on what to sketch. Either way, it is an artists downfall which can be permanent or temporary. Forcing oneself to draw during an art block will always work against its purpose, and has the same outcome as when a propane tank is thrown on a fire.

It's the worst fucking thing for an artist to ever encounter. It's when you run out of ideas to draw things off, and temporarily loose all motivation to do anything art related.
You'll often see artists on deviantART not post anything for a while, and then come back complaining of an art block.
Guy1: Why haven't you uploaded anything on DA lately?
Guy2: I'm having a serious art block.

Bitch1: Where's my commission I ordered? Why aren't you done yet (blahblahblah)
Artist: I'm having an art block. I'll be done when I can -__-

When an artist, may it be anime or not, finds his or herself at a lack of ideas.
