how do you deal with the crushing loneliness that extended periods of drawing brings?

>> No.2870345

Learn to love it or ignore it

>> No.2870351

Have extended periods of non-loneliness to balance it out. Go out with your friends, take walks in nature, go to public places, whatever you can do.

Then when you get back into your drawing isolation, it will feel like a relaxing break from all the social stimuli.

>> No.2870353

I funpost on /ic/ in hopes for some (you)'s. It makes me feel like I exist. I should probably just get friends.

>> No.2870354

What? That's the best part of drawing.
I just hope you're not one of those """people""" who only draws for self validation through internet points.

when I get lonely I go draw with other artists... it's fun.

No one loves you unless you're good at something.

So be good at art and you can reward yourself with friends.

If you're not good, you deserve to be alone until you are.

Who the hell suffers from crushing loneliness just from sitting around drawing for a while

>>2870420
This line of thought is sad and wrong. I'm guessing you don't have many genuine friends if that's your philosophy about how friends/love works

How do I deal with it? by fucking enjoying it, I love being alone working on something, I fucking love it. Wish people would stop disturbing my peace with stupid noises all the time, specially when I am starting to really get in the zone and losing myself in the mental images.

I do feel sad sometimes. I deal with it is by making sure I have a healthy diet, exercise often, meditate and take drugs, mostly stimulants.

I have spend my 32 years without a SO and barely any friends. Loneliness became solitude which is now a natural state for me

>> No.2871022

Just talk to people during breaks.

Unless you hit the zone/flow whatever state, I highly recommend taking small breaks regularly.

Personally I use the pomodoro method (25 minute sessions with 5 minute breaks, every fourth break take a 15 minute break)

Draw outside or on a lifestream.

Go to iscribble.net and draw with other people instead. Or at the very least you can draw while other people are around you.

IRL a lot of artists work with people around or near them. I draw with my cousin, we sit and chat while we both do some drawing or painting.

Animators in disney times were a few doors away from each other and would visit each other.

I don't know what you're talking about.

I chose drawing precisely because I didn't want to talk to anyone.

Buy a cat that sits on your lap while drawing or something, I dunno.
