Watercolours & digital art. (Don't use or reupload my work, thank you!)

I have a very strange problem. When I haven't performed a specific task for too long, I have trouble getting it started again. It's like I somehow don't even remember how.

This happens all the time with my art.

I haven't sketched in a while, and it feels as if I completely forgot how to do so.

At other times, if I paint only digitally for a month, it feels like torture getting back into watercolours again.

I often feel like my brain gets stuck on a specific task or set of tasks, and once it's going, I can't really move on to another one. (These days, that different task is often a video game, which is NOT HELPFUL AT ALL)Jul 8, 2021

Maybe you can set up a specific amount of time to every activity and then pass to another one, so you do variety of activities on the day (10-15 mins each one) and your brain doesn’t get stuck with only one
