>tfw burned out
I'm NGMI, I feel lost and drawing feels like a chore now
I used to feel so insanely happy putting down lines on the paper
where did it go wrong
anyone else have experienced this? how did you recover?

I'm obsessed with drawing so even if I feel bad for my scribbles I will come back tomorrow because drawing is the only thing in my life that makes me feeling alive.

That's what happens when you overdo yourself on just about anything. Just take a break for a while and do something else.

You’re too busy chasing the dragon.
I experienced this for the last few years never having reach, never gaining an audience.
Put that shit behind you. Have fun with the process. Some of the world’s most famous artists are only famous posthumously.
Who cares if you’re ngmi, %98 of artists don’t. Don’t sweat it, don’t try and make it a career, make it a hobby. Focus on making art for yourself. I stopped all that doomed bullshit and have been drawing every day, it feels good.
Also look at it this way, drawing as a hobby is great. Most faggots don’t even have a hobby, they just consume TV and Videogames every waking hour between their shit job.
tl;dr get the fuck over yourself and put pen on paper.
Also post your work.

I've felt that way for about a year now. I can see I've gotten better but after doing this for like 6 years I'm starting to wonder what the point is. I do like drawing but I don't think I LOVE drawing like some other people, which makes me think I'll never really be great.

yes same. when i was a kid i would draw every day. it captured my attention for hours. but now it's not enjoyable so i didn't draw for 3-4 years now. that's just how the mind is. you can't get satisfaction from an activity perpetually.

My friend, draw something you enjoy, take a break with different hobbies or media that might give you back the feeling of wanting to draw or

and this is my favorite

draw a MoaiHead, that might do the trick
