![]() And even if you don't draw much anymore, I hope we all at least get to hear from you how things are going. I do have one commissioner left, but I'm refunding him his money, so that I have to commit to his drawings for now. ![]() So overall, my situation is the same as yours: I'm too concentrated on work as my job, and I'm burnt out from drawing, and now just focusing on cooking and playing online gaming. So, basically, I have a new hobby outside of drawing.Īnd even though I want to return to drawing, I feel that I if I ever do, it'll have to be with just drawing for myself, and not any commission or YCH work uintil I feel good and ready for it, not to mention when I give myself the time to do so. Plus, I've been taking the time I have in between work, learning how to cook for myself, either burgers, pasta, or Asian dishes like Udon, Katsu Curry, Katsudon, etc. Even wen I have 2-3 or even 4 days off, I rather spend that time off relaxing, preparing for my week weekend shift. Even now, my place of work is under staff and over-worked with pizza orders, especially on the weekends, So that left me just concentrating on my job as dish washer/etc.Īs for now, I'm working between 4-5 days a week, making about $600 per month (I get paid bi-weekly), leaving me exhausted after coming home, leaving me time to either cook or play Star Trek Online. But, by football season (which starts in November) things got hectic at work, and it became my priority job over drawing. At first, I thought it would be a few weeks or maybe a month or two. So, I decided to quit temporarily until I felt ready to return to drawing. Zeta, what you're going thru right now is almost exactly what I'm going thru right now.įor the last 18+ months, I've haven't done any drawing of any kind, commission/YCH or otherwise, simply because at the time I got burnt out from doing commission after commission, making my hobby of drawing feel more and more like a 2nd job outside of my real life one at the pizza place that I work. I'm gonna be honest, is time to move on, it was a great experience, and it was fun, but the program is already very old, is an issue to code and do all the stuff for it, all the people who was involved to do it, is busy right now, we all grow up and we aren't teens anymore with spare time to waste, so don't expect much more from it. I'm going to try to draw some more, I'm not sure how is going to be or if I was gonna be able to make something decent, but I'm gonna give it a try, I barelly do any art lately, and that's burning me from the inside little by little, and I have the need to change that.įor those people who keep asking me about Project X. It really hurt me to delete some people, cool artists and people that I chat and have some good time with, but I feel this was kind of necessary for me right now, when I feel better, I will try to retake all my peps, so, again, don't feel offended or mad with me if you're one of the ones who have been deleted. ![]() need some time to be alone, like a restart. I'm kinda depressed, and that made me do a big clean up of my social medias, and ended up deleting most of my friend list from Discord, if you're one of them, I'm so sorry, is not your fault, I just. In my case, I need a secure and constant income to live, so, I can't leave my job to do art and live from it, the bad thing is that when I have free time, I relate drawing with job, and that doens't help me too much, also being a fan of videogames doesn't help one bit on these times with the tsunamy of good titles that are coming. I just got aware that, to be a good artist and improve your art skills, you need to make it your job, or just be jobless, all in all, you get burned from it, or you die of hunger. I'm not gonna enter in much details, but my job leaves me very exahusted and I barely wanna do anything else than just sleep or play a game ocassionaly (that if my parents leave me and don't ask me to do chores and stuff), my time of a content creator ended up some years ago when my job started to be more demanding, and sadly I can't really get a better one due the fact all of them are even worse than the one I am right now, and throwing off the bonus I have here for all the years I was working in my current one is stupid. That I don't feel lately very good morally, I'm living some bad times here, each day that passes I have less and less free time, due family and job. ![]()
