For those of you with art jobs - how do you stop yourself from slowly starting to hate drawing?

I finally went pro last year and Im drawing all day in my job. I thought this would be a dream job, and it is kinda..
But ive noticed i have absolutely no motivation to draw after work or on weekends, which is a huge change for me. Im starting to see drawing as work and not something i do for fun like before. Its depressing. I really hate drawing right now. Im even considering quitting my job and going neet mode until i find my love of drawing again

Probably because you suck. When you really have a nice style, you never get enough of drawing.

It is and isnt. Its not the specific job thats the problem its complicated. Im sure its a common problem for people when their hobby becomes their job they lose their passion and enjoyment for it.

A job is an unpleasant thing you do for money. You think plumbers love plumbing?

No, not really. Unless what you’re drawing at work is soul-sucking. In which case, thats the problem. Not drawing per se.
If you quit though, it will get harder, not easier to work professionally again.

When have you ever seen pro-quality artists post on here?

>> No.4581237

>>4581212
You overestimate the quality of working artists. A lot of people are as good or better than pros here

>> No.4581351

>>4581212
Undoubtedly there are pros who lurk here but don't post their best work, because who wants to be associated with 4chan.
I think there are at least a few known pros who post here, BBC-Chan for example.
