I think you're right about that. I think it was though as the 'no'-answers means 'I get less done', but it is worded wrong.

In my case it certainly does.

This was a hard poll to answer. I have less work and no studies, but I do have to work regardless of the time of year (rent and bills still need to be paid). With all the family Christmas commitments and general life things I need to do, I still need to make the time for my art. I can't really just shut myself away and work at it anymore. Therefore, I see no real change when it comes to my creative output.

Yeah. I haven't made anything nice in a month.

I tend to get Seasonal Affective Disorder around this time of year, and have trouble creating.

Definitly, but no option seems to suit for me. I paint the whole year every day as long as I can, the holidays are for other things, writing and just relaxing. Art is beautiful and I need it, but not now, it is good to take a break and get in touch with other things for a change.

Well, I have more time to create, but I also want to spent some time with my family and friends (and I have also some homeworks to do

)

I've been sick for the last week and it's getting worse, but I got an Intuos 5L for christmas and spent all day working with it!

Actually my answer is not listed here, my creative output does changes, but in a bad way.
I tend to create less when I have too much free time, I create and feel inspired more often when I am busy with school and chores and such and I guess it's because I get oppressed therefore having a need to create more and express myself more; I specially draw a lot in math class because I hate it and just want to get a way with my stuff so I guess it's something like that.

Also when I'm on vacation I get too lazy as to take the time and energy required to draw and with christmas and new year and all those big things on my head I get too distracted as to get inspired or have the calm to draw.

I couldn't agree with you more...
