Ppl so easily underestimate how hard it is to draw and how mentally exhausting and metaphysically demanding it actually is,, idk if it sounds dumb but it DOES involve an exhaustion beyond physical and visual skill.May 31, 2023

no this is very true. whats even worse is when you want to create to distract from Mental Issues and you cant even do that in a carefree way because its so exhausting, trying to make it look cohesive. or make sense. or appealing. its like ARGH

with me I'll just lay in bed and look at art but just...¿exist? when it comes to my art lol

And i don't mean to speak for every artist and every person with mental battles, but I'm never sure if I'm inclined to art because of my lack of whatever i need to not be depressed, or if art took it away from me, I'm always fighting against ideas of purpose, self, productivity, things that just don't align with the current ideas of an hypothetical healthy someone actively involved in society.
