Headaches, stress, fatigue and lack of concentration when studying.

You shouldn't have any of these just from drawing or painting. Use common sense, take a break every hour to stretch and clear your focus, stay hydrated, hold you pencil/brush comfortably, you shouldn't be tense in any way, get proper fucking sleep and exercise, etc.

You don't need to kill yourself to study art, it's fucking stupid. You shouldn't have any of this shit going on, you're not doing some psychotic workout regimen.

If you're not staying healthy and fit, and getting enough rest for your brain to take care of itself, you're not going to progress as well. You're training your body and mind to do something, obviously you want to take care of these things so they can perform to their greatest extent.

hobbies mane do something you have no desire to become better at

i know as an artist everything feels like work and is a forced effort to always get better.
this is where your symptoms are coming from, work is supposed to be challenging, not a death sentence.

So for me personally? im tone deaf and know for a fact i suck at music. which makes it so fun to play piano or guitar.
swim
run
dance to that embarassing jpop you like
suntan
eat something delicious
cook something awful and bad for you
write

take a break from the constant self criticism and /ic/'s verbal battery so you feel rested enough to actually digest what people are trying to tell you is wrong with your art, so you can learn and actually become better.

take breaks, do a walk around the area and switch between projects, sometimes working to much on a project can do more damage than good.
