A serious question - do you need depression to be an excellent artist?
A month ago I started taking meds and the strangest thing happened - I stopped daydreaming.

J. Peterson said to stop daydreaming is the easiest way to kill creativity. I kept tons of notes about things I wanted to draw and now when I go through them, it's almost as if they were written by a different person.
I'm losing touch with myself and becoming a normie, a person who laughs and talks to people - which is all I ever wanted, but now I'm legit considering getting off meds and falling into depression, because I don't think I can live without drawing.
Thoughts?

I received a free pen tablet as a gift from an anon who later committed suicide.
I don't actually use it.

Whether you're a student, work in the ''industry'', a porn artist, or traditional painter, get it off your chest here.

keep it art related.

About 2 years of FZD away. I ain't giving up tho.

Have a confession to make as an artist or a d/ic/k? Air your dirty laundry here.

Keep it art related, or related to the hobby/lifestyle/career/education of art.

my mum got committed to a mental hospital 4 days ago, she was having severe audio and visual hallucinations, yesterday the doctor phoned after she tried to escape the hospital for the second time, she has now been officially sectioned long term.

Which means i have been extremely busy as i am now the one in charge of making sure me and my brother don't end up homeless, and looking after our two cats, and dealing with the debt she left behind.

so with all that's going on I got tired and fell asleep.

But have no fear ill never stop drawing/and posting here as long as the rest of you remain so shall I, till the end.
