Rant gor myself
6 years ago
Since no one reads these things of mine I feel safe posting this here.
Artists understand tbis but art is not a 5 minutes and sone thing. Its not like a piece of toast you can put down after one bite and come back to finish it later. Art, even quick sketch takes time and effort. It needs effort to get the motivation some times. When a spark hits you need to do it or lose it.
That said when somone says they want to draw, that does not mean they are open to conversations, open to chores or open to others needs. I wont speak for others but when I get into the drawing mode it becomes theropudic. I can FOCUS on the image before me and not so much on the other things that may have me bothered. You take that from me when its my only real out, and as well meaning as you can be, it becomes just the opposite.
So for the time being I am holding off from doing any art since that only adds to the stress I want to relieve through art.

I understand, though. Usually when I do get the time and inspiration to draw I keep it on the down-low and finish it myself, sharing the finished product later when I'm good and ready.
