take breaks by drawing joyfully with no expectation or judgement. you get to practice without feeling pressure.
try something new, study something weird that you're curious about even if its not directly applicable to your typical work, draw your friend's dog or ffxiv character, literally anything. if you're having fun and enjoying yourself you can do no wrong here.
also "detrimental to skill" is a real exaggeration, letting that anxiety taint your breaks is going to burn you out a lot more. even if you hypothetically forgot where a muscle inserts or how to draw a certain facial expression or something it would take you literal minutes to relearn. over all my years of interacting with artists i have never seen an artist get worse because they took a break unless we're talking many months and years of zero art.
