is it okay to take a break like every other day when doing real works (as in not just practicing, full focus all-in stuff). cause that shits intense its liek doing exorcism or somethin :(
>>

Yes.
If you're building muscle, you're not hitting the gym everyday - same with building skills.

It is always okay to take a break. Contrary to popular belief you don't improve at art by grinding and forcing yourself to do bad work when your heart isn't it. Now the kicker that if you feel like your heart is never in it when it actually is time to get to work, you might want to think hard about what that means. But no, the art police won't come knocking because you took a day off.
>>
I think a normal fucking person would have a smoke break once in an hour and not just once in two days

Productive memers of society sleep once a week and play video games only on the 31st day of the month

Most of the people who “grind” anything are unintelligent hoods or absolute spergs. Two sides of the same coin that think “hard work” will get them “out the mud.” Truth is hard work is a sign of failure, work shouldn’t be hard it should be intuitive, be clever and use what you have to get a desired result. Don’t be stubborn. Life is for living.

another "muhnifestation" retard psyoped by the kike anti-christ oc-cult bullshit narrative. What a "tool".
>>
>>7903078
Yes, spergs do tend to take everything literally and have a hard time with sarcasm. Also, is this “kike anti-christ” in the room with us right now?
>>
>>7902891
Yes, take a break. Go play video games.

Calm down ((anon)) it's only sarcasm, Jesus-christ...

Depends on what you consider hard work. Really good artists do thousands of lines almost every day.
>>
>>7903090
I have a hard time believing you were being sarcastic for whatever reason.
>>
>>7903091
I'm referring to people who treat it like a cargo cult, they see "progress" as illusive ideas, like going from A-->A and not A-->B. Not talking about someone drawing thousands of lines and getting readable, sufficient results and they feel like they can get up tomorrow and do it again, thats not particularly "hard," but tedious maybe.
>>
>>7903095
I totally understand where you are coming from. Society is obsessed with a race to the bottom. Everyone wants to act tough by claiming how hard their life is, while in reality they are just dumb slave NPCs.

But still, waking up at 6 in the morning, and then drawing for 10 hours the whole day is not easy. It may not be physically exhausting, but it's mentally exhausting. Especially when you are always alone.

>Truth is hard work is a sign of failure
I realized this a while ago and I've been trying to find evidence to disprove it but I just can't. Skill and talent exist to make things easier, working hard is just inefficient and doesn't promise anything. Anything we grind in, there are forces making sure we are stuck grinding, so we're not actually succeeding until we find a trick to circumvent the system, there are very very few truly neutral systems in life. Talent and skill are tricks and advantages that help you.

It's easy, just don't thin you are "grinding" or "practicing" but rather just use your energy to produce finished works. You need to create something in order to get better. Life is not an RPG where you mindlessly grind to get more XP.
>>
You can't trust what a human brain comes up with in regards to attitudes towards hard work because it's wired to avoid it and will make up fantastic justifications for doing so

Just pointing that out
>>
>>7902891
Its impossible to work two days in a row for yourself. If you have someone depending on you then the brain will do it but if its just for fun, which drawing is, then the brain won't waste time doing something that didn't give you serotonin last time.
>>
for every day you neglect your craft, it takes three days to recover. keep the momentum up. skill rust happens faster than you'd think.
>>
>>7903077
That isn't shit, throw a rock and you'll hit someone whose had a spiritual awakening / recognised the absolute.
What worldly things have you achieved
