do i even still enjoy drawing?
idk
it's weird
cuz it feels like a chore now that i'm learning to become a graphics designer
i just wanna enjoy things again but it sucks that i can't because:
- if it doesn't make money then it's not worth doing/making
- i can't even peacefully draw because of this↑
- i think i don't have any hobbies anymore because of this↑, at least i can't pick up any - i have an electric guitar cuz i wanted to learn to play on it but i can't because school comes first (same with my other instruments like my ocarina); i can't play through a story driven game because i get bored of it without having anyone to show it to + "i should be doing schoolwork"; i can't read when i'm not on the bus/metro because of "i should be doing schoolwork"; but then i'm also not in the mood to do homework because i literally have no motivation or goal to work for because my parents always go "but finish high school/graph. des. school first" ergo i legit have no idea what i want to be other than "i wanna draw", but even now i don't want that
like, yeah okay, i'll finish school first but what should i do after that
where should i go
idk
because even my first and only plan for what i wanted to do after high school got a "you gotta think of finishing high school first"
well then
...

i wish i had any motivation to do anything
or just a goal, idk

When I get like this, I always resort back to drawing the characters I like. Even if drawing feels that way, seeing their faces brought to life always cheers me up again, especially since I love them so much.
I do hope it gets better for you YWY

i can feel you there, burnout is a pain.
one thing i can suggest, is taking some time for yourself. you dont even have to do anything, just sit down, relax, maybe have something to drink or eat, or while you´re doing something, just do a little doodle next to it when you take a break.
once you finish schoolwork, just dedicate some time for yourself.
taking a pause from drawing helps as well.

you dont have to to draw everyday, just draw when you feel like you want to. even if you want to be a graphic designer, dont force yourself to draw when you dont want to. just let your ideas brainstorm!

also, your art is great! i love these little doodles, they´re very cute :0
dont stress yourself out, you got this!
