Of course it does if you're focused on the right things and consistently working. I would say most NEETs became NEET not to pursue art but because of other problems in life. Thus, (at least in my case) problems focusing, depression, not knowing what to do, etc. would get in the way of their art progress probably more so than most non-NEETs .
