Its been almost a week since ive made any drawings, im in that phase where an artist is losing creativity and has no energy/inspiration to create something. This happens sometimes, and i do eventually get the energy to start making things again for my own enjoyment, but its been stressing me alot. I just finished high school, and i need to pick what career ill be pursuing, so i decide why not take a gap year? Now theres half a year left and i still dont know what i should pick..

At first, it was gonna be 3d animation, then 2d animation, until i found out my country doesnt see 2d animation as something seperate from 3d animation (so you cant get a diploma in 2d animation in my country yayy), and then it was gonna be illustrations, then interior design, and ive been switching it up for the past 4 months.

Ive also had the realization that i cant handle turning something i enjoy doing into a job. I tried it with commissions and my own passion projects by giving a strict deadline and i just cant, especially when i use art as a coping mechanism to deal with my problems. That doesnt mean i dont wanna work in a creative field though. I still love art, and i do want to contribute something to the world by producing creative things, to give inspiration to other people the same way as others have given me. I just dont think i can do that by doing it in an art medium i already enjoy doing for free
