Random art advice;

draw what makes you happy

work with your anxiety not against it

if working in a sketchbook makes you anxious, draw on printer paper or index cards

that way if that shit starts pissing you off you can literally toss it across the room

if one medium is giving you trouble try another

take a break from digital to work traditionally or vice versa 

draw from reference

trace over reference with the intention of internalizing shapes 

take what you love about other’s work and incorporate it into your own

if you need to work but are having trouble focusing, set a repeating timer

dick around for ten minutes and then work for ten minutes

if the timer goes off and you still feel like working, keep working

be kind to yourself

draw when you can as much as you can

do NOT beat yourself up for not being able to work

working in pen or marker can help you overcome fear of permanent mistakes

it can also help you work quicker and looser

do your undersketch in blue pen/marker and go over it in black

make corrections with whiteout or white gel pen

when you want to draw but don’t know what to work on, start by drawing circles or other shapes

fill a page with nonsense doodles

warm up your wrists

do the bean exercise

just fill a page with beans

draw what makes you happy

I win.

I got introspective one day and sketched out a 6 panel comic. It sat in a folder for a few days before I expanded it to 10. Then it sat for a week. After which, I moved on. The expiration date had passed, and the comic joined the rest of the half-drawn files in the very same folder. 

I still don’t like it anymore, but I’ll take the victories where I can.

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!
