The fan art piece is turning out nicely!
Sorry to hear about your energy issues. I had the same problem and would get symptoms of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) when I'm painting/drawing. So I tried eating more frequently and in greater quantities, even when I'm not hungry, to maintain glucose levels for my brain. This has helped me tremendously in keeping me focused for longer periods.
But there's very little scientific research in how many calories the brain uses when pushing it at full capacity all day, I hypothesize it's at least an extra few hundred calories. Even though I've been eating more, I've lost a couple pounds, possibly from the increased mental expenditure. I'd be grateful if you tried this out too so I can collect more data on this.
Hope this helps, keep up the great work
