That sounds a lot like the most common advice for people going through "art block," where you don't feel like creating anything and everything you do make seems like garbage. Either take a break or just force yourself to get through it. It's tough but I'm sure I'll get through it. I'm already a lot more productive now than I was when I first started going through the burnout.I might have some insight...
A recent obsession of mine was numerology, and I ended up reading this book that was explaining the lessons of the 5 life path. It introduced an idea to me that was quite eye opening: when you start to get bored with a subject, it's because you're just starting to become adept with it. The book went on to say you have to keep going at that point even if you're burned out, and that eventually you will break through to this state of understanding where you can use that expertise to relate to anything and fain a deeper understanding of the world that doesn't require leaping from subject to subject.
Yeah I've needed to do that with my own art for years. Haven't sketched or painted since my grandfather died twelve years ago, and every time I try I get so blanked out on what to do and frustrated with my loss of skill I have to quit. I miss it but I guess I just don't see the point of it any more.That sounds a lot like the most common advice for people going through "art block," where you don't feel like creating anything and everything you do make seems like garbage.
