Re: Taking A Break from Art ?
I have found jumping around related disciplines but still keeping base with my focuses really helps, like lighting/code. Example, I am primarily a 3D Env Artist at heart, but at my current position I have been lucky enough to be able to jump over to lighting and tech. It has really helped me bring my environment personal… -
Re: Taking A Break from Art ?
i used to take breaks more in school, like i wouldn't do personal work for a couple months at a time. didnt really hurt me in the long run. i notice now that i go through phases of interest, sometimes i feel like modeling but sometimes it's easier to get lost in coding or writing. i try to start projects based on what type… -
Re: Taking A Break from Art ?
App design, got a few ideas, novel energy creation machines, have some theories on physics with super materials and blacksmithing some knives and swords I guess, gonna get some of that done over the winter. But now I am rather happy making my own game as there's so many different things to do its hard to get bored of it,… -
Re: Taking A Break from Art ?
You definitely need to put more than 40 hours a week into any type of skill if you want to get exceptionally good at it, but it's also important to remember that doing so can be dangerous as well due to things like burnout. There's no reason you can't do personal work outside of your job and live a balanced life at the… -
Re: Taking A Break from Art ?
whether you have children or not, the idea that you need to put in more than 40 hours a week to actually be succesful at these skills is insane. i started very young, my practice was lethargic and spread over several years, maybe that's part of why i feel this way now. but i have seen people crunch and they don't usually… -
Re: Taking A Break from Art ?
I think that's bullshit. We're humans and we are very complex. Especially when it comes to creativity. If there's a blockade, we can't just guilt force our way trough it. Believe me, I've tried. That made me loose the joy of making art. Not settle, not slack of (when you have a good groove going) and not giving up are all… -
Re: Taking A Break from Art ?
NOW. They have that NOW. Coming up, I'll bet they worked like crazy. Nobody ever get to the top of their field working 40 hours a week. -
Re: Taking A Break from Art ?
Everyone needs a break from what they do for a living / non-living. Treat your weekends as an excersise in relaxing, at least one of the days. Get out of your house, see some things. It's an easy thing to get trapped in, not just art. Most employers want you to get some free time away from your job, so that you come back… -
Re: Taking A Break from Art ?
This is absolute nonsense and the typical attitude of someone in their teens-20's that has the 'stamina' to sit, glued to their PC for 16-20 hours a day. sltrOlsson has pretty much nailed it, so I can't add more than that. When I started I was happy to spend crazy amounts of time on my PC, but lately I feel I want to be on…
