Warning: Burnout hits hard after finishing digital pieces.
Taking breaks keeps my ideas flowing.

Yeah it's weird how pushing harder makes everything worse. I've seen it with my own work, when I just stare at the screen and nothing comes. Taking a real break, like a walk or even doing the dishes, somehow lets my brain fix the problem on its own. It happens with all kinds of creative stuff, not just digital art. Forcing it never works.

Totally get that. Once spent three hours trying to fix a weird bug in a simple app I was making. Code just would not work. Gave up and went to clean my neighbor's gutters, just a mindless physical job. Halfway through scooping out wet leaves, the solution popped into my head clear as day. My brain needed me to stop staring at the problem to actually solve it.
