Just some personal babbling about art

Ugh.

I kind of feel like I'm currently in the middle of an art crisis.

And I've no idea why.

I just feel somewhat unhappy with my art.

It's not like an "art block", I can draw something and finish it pretty fine. Yes it's a bit harder to push myself, but still not a problem (I know how to keep my deadlines at all cost, it's a skill that has been infused into my body). But I feel like I can barely can get any connection to the stuff I drew in the last 2-3 months.

When I draw something in the end it's just "okay" for me, but doesn't feel like I've created something great, doesn't feel like I put my heart and soul into it, like I used to.

But it's so hard to figure out what my artistic soul seeks. Should I change my style? Should I change my technique, my themes? What do I still like and what is it, that actually bothers me?

I tried a few different and new things, but nothing seems to "click" to me.

I know that nobody can answer that for me and I have to help myself, if I want to change something about it. But at the moment I don't know how and in which direction. I'm stuck and that makes me feel uneasy.

In the past I've learned that an art crisis can bring an improvement in the end. So... let's hope for the best? I really don't know.

I know the lack of attachment feeling to art. 
In the past for me it was all so personal and close, I'd remember what music I was listening to and every stroke of the piece.
While some others you hardly even remember working on it. 

Like right now none of my ocs feel close, and art is meh, and everything is meh :lmao:

Sadly though I can empathise, I can't really give any proper advice. 
For me emotion-based art rather than subject helps though
