@mayhemmouse's post on Artfol
I just want to say this in the nicest way possible: PLEASE STOP DRAWING IF YOU FEEL TOO STRESSED ABOUT IT!!!!
I'm not talking about quitting art btw. I'm talking about taking a long, well-deserved break. I'm seeing so many of my mutuals and friends talking about being too depressed to draw or post. And you know what? That's completely valid! Times are tough nowadays, and if you're brunt out from drawing, please please please take a break. I promise you that by letting yourself rest, drawing will feel good again eventually. Stop forcing yourself to do something when your brain is fried! I apologize if this post seems pushy. I just don't want my friends and mutuals to feel like their art is shackled to their wrists like prison chains. PLEASE TAKE BREAKS!!!!Mar 16, 2025

That's what I'm doing, except it's more so my academic pursuit stopping me than being stressed about art itself.

I feel so validated rn for my random art breaks I take whenever I feel overwhelmed. Thanks for this
