Do you ever draw things you aren't consumed with brainworms over, and if so: how?
If im going to be honest with you here, the last thing i had genuine brainworms over was moomins back in 2019, and ever since then I've just been pushing myself through bc my bills won't pay themselves and if ur an artist u need that fockin Exposure(tm) to get commissions so u gotta keep going. Im not faking interest in anything tho, everything I've drawn were things i like, but don't actually care if they ceased to exist. Just like uh... toffee candies i guess.
So to answer ur question: yes, all the time, and u do it out of habit or necessity i guess. If you don't actually feel like drawing then don't. If you like drawing 1 thing only then draw that thing only. If you work with art or want to become a professional artist then you either find a niche where you can draw and sustain yourself by drawing your favorite topics, or you learn to push through outside your interest zone. Anyway its great to be obsessed with something and i envy you bc i think my brain matter is so rancid the worms just dont manage to survive.
