Drawing through the emotions
So the best way to launch myself into drawing when I really can't is by indulging in something I've wanted to draw for awhile. In this case, I wanted to work on some Danhausen fan art.
Talking about therapy. It's long.
The right kind of therapy has to be available 24/7. Because the person isn’t always ready to accept therapy. Sometimes it takes years or decades of repeat trauma for a person to open up to changing their lives. Sometimes they really never will change
Work often equals burnout often.
Artistic burnouts are inevitable. Maybe it's just part of the process sometimes. Some artists think these burnouts are career ending.
They're not.
I find that the more you take on commissions and deal with larger amounts of money in exchange for your art-the more likely burnouts will occur and you have to constantly refine your ideas to keep going.
The argument for deep rest
When we force ourselves to march through continuously, the burn out is inevitable. It gets hidden behind other issues that result from the snowball effect into the break down.
