Art block 

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.
