I think sometimes art is like a marathon where you just get lost in the runner's high, and sometimes it's more like interval training (burst of energy, rest, burst of energy, rest...). It's two different mental modes, and I think each is legit.
I tend to marathon more when painting something familiar/easy, and do intervals more when drawing (so many mental calculations!), or trying to paint something difficult.
I'm the opposite I like to marathon when painting difficult stuff and whenever I paint something """easy""" like a mapcrunch study or something like that I do short bursts because I feel like I don't need to focus as much and getting distracted won't completely get me out of the mood. When I'm painting hard stuff like the Nausicaa fan art I'm doing now I feel like even just answering a phone call can take me out of it. It's more like once I start getting distracted I can't stop so I try to shut off everything I can.
