Yeah it's weird how pushing harder makes everything worse. I've seen it with my own work, when I just stare at the screen and nothing comes. Taking a real break, like a walk or even doing the dishes, somehow lets my brain fix the problem on its own. It happens with all kinds of creative stuff, not just digital art. Forcing it never works.

That "saved like 300 bucks" part is why I finally gave those videos a real shot.
