I feel burnt out :'(

Posted by GH0STEC - 1 month ago


I wanted to draw something cool today, but in the middle of the process I did not like where it was going, so I scrapped my art. I tried to draw something different, but each time I couldn't. Plus I've got a ton of requests and I just kinda gave up on drawing anything. I feel like I burnt out, which is a no surprise considering I managed to make new art almost every day for the past 6 months.


Maybe I just need a good rest and I'll wake up with a strike of inspiration and motivation the next morning.

Perfect is the enemy of good. My advice, stop treating anything you draw as precious in the sense it's exempted from being erased or modified or even destroyed.

It's extremely easy to fall into this trap you have to make a masterpiece every time you draw. Even I often go into that trap. I think the real problem isn't burnout, but rather your brain is expecting that quick and easy dopamine burst from something, and because you're not getting it, it feels so lost and hopeless. Like I said, it's a very easy trap to fall into, the more you're conscientious about it, the more you'll improve.

Yeah, welcome to the club pal.

If I were you I would probably take a break.
