Top 5 Reasons Perfectly Talented Artists Burn Out


illastrat's avatar
5.) They don't take breaks -- Usually the ones that think art is an iron-man contest burn out in quality and subject matter. Take a break ya'll. That'll give you time to let the juices flow.

4.) They look at too much art -- This is counter-intuitive. People think if you look at the most art that you get better. But actually it is experiencing other art forms like poetry, movies, photography, and music that allow you to become inspired. Looking at other peoples drawings and paintings just make you uncreative and a "biter."

3.) They hate on other artists -- If you hate artists they will not help you out with different techniques. Hence you will not grow.

2.) They become uninspired and too good at a young age -- There's a thing called being too good for your own good. These people are the ones that are mind-blowing at a young age but then they stall out at 30ish. This is a recorded phenomenon for what ever reason. You prodigies paint with so much passion that they lose steam before they can even make a name for themselves. Its very sad.

1.) They use drugs -- This is the elephant in the room. Drugs are said to help with creativity but guess what? They lead to destitution, poverty and death. Drugs have forced many people PERMANENTLY burn out and DIE. There is nothing in drugs. case close.

The fact that you don't see the difference here is what's worrying.

OMG you're right, it looks a lot like his style, if it was executed well. I'm not into that color scheme/style generally, but the artist you shared was pretty nice.

I suffer from all five, yet I make a fine living on my art alone.
illastrat's avatar
just because you are making a living doesn't mean you aren't burn or gonna burn soon
Roberts-The-Vile's avatar
BUT!

It doesn't mean I will, either.
