why did picasso stop drawing technical?

his early works were really precise and every else was abstract.. did he lose the ability or was it a choice?

Picasso had already mastered drawing forms from life for so long, and he got tired of it. He wanted to take three dimensional forms and break them down to show every angle of the form on a two dimensional plane. There will always be people in the world painting objects from life in a realistic style, and he wanted to break away from that and create a style that was his own.

What @Duzz quoted.
From what I interpret it, Picasso was tired of painting the same, confined way instead of expanding his horizons and reigniting his passion for art.

because he knew that drawing things technical and realistic was not enough to get him noticed.
Drawing things technically and with precision isn't uncommon, and a lot of people can do it.
he knew this, so he turned to abstraction, there lo, he became famous.
