Me On Drawing Backgrounds

So I’ve been tag to this amazing idea. I thought you lot should join. This should be fun! karukara kendrawcandraw liamstolenboxers louwie otp-hedgefrog sirental nyodo mistahlevi akisdoodles cyrilliart @fayestardust Joining in on the fun! Here’s how it works: Draw a picture and hide it somewhere. Take a photo of either the art or the hiding spot or a combination of both. Post the image, the city you dropped it in, and a hint on any social media of your choice. Be sure to include the hastag- #artdropday. Then move on, hoping someone finds it. OR hang around and meet your friend. That’s it! Please share the word #artdropday I hope you all join in, it will be so much fun!

let 2018 be the year of drawing a lot

I think one of the kindest things you can do for yourself as an artist is to accept that you will make bad drawings sometimes and just…stop caring about it. It’s not like that bad sketch you drew was your one and only chance to ever draw the thing. It’s so much easier emotionally to just say “lol what is that?” delete it and start over than it is to spend the next six hours crying about it.

Once you stop treating every single thing you draw as something precious and learn to just throw stuff away it takes so much stress away. One bad drawing doesn’t make you a bad artist, or a fraud. Even the best pro artists are gonna have moments where they draw things wrong.

You’re going to make bad drawings so just go out there and make them so you can move on with your life. Chances are your second attempt will be better.

Okay, so for any artists out there who can’t think of something to draw, I’ve found that the Bean exercise is a great way to warm up your arting muscles and really get into the groove. Now for those who don’t know the bean exercise is quite simple.  Step 1) draw two circles close to each other in any configuration. 

Step 2) Start adding humany bits. the great thing about the beans you just drew is that they become a spring board for any number of fun dynamic poses, best part being that you literally just come up with these poses as you draw, no prior thought needed for the most part! :D

Or if you’re like me and you just want to cheer yourself up, you can always use the beans to make fuzzy lil animals. >w<
