Mimi- I'm just now learning how to use digital art software but I find it takes forever... I can't keep in the lines etc. Sometimes I feel I will never learn. Any resources? I use procreate

Please more content on failures, mistakes, bad days. How to react ..That's more relatable to most people...I think

@HannahMorenDraws 7 күн бұрын

it depends where you are in your journey I guess. I had the worst day job of my life and the only respite I had was art. Once I was able to get out of that job all I could think of was how to make a new career for myself. Even on bad days, I just think that "I can't go back to that" and that's what encourages me to move forward.

Yes! Will definitely be making a video on failures as well!

I did a 100 day challenge of trying to make a complete composition (instead of a doodle or a like study sketch) last year and it CHANGED my artwork and confidence. It also provided me with some nice completed pieces I could start pitching for editorial work. But I still struggle with "finishing" things! I like starting the process and I do draw in some capacity 7 days a week usually. I know people always talk about how hard it is to get started, but how can you finish???? (especially when it's digital and you can change the colors so easily???) If it's always partially done than I am not disappointed with the result :/

@MimimooIllustration 6 күн бұрын

Oh that's amazing, well done for completing 100 days! And yes I know what you mean, knowing when something is 'finished' is difficult because you could keep adjusting things forever 😅

I have post-its around my desk with phrases and such - it really helps on days when motivation is low. The one that's closes states "It doesn't matter - JUST CREATE!" I think that's a lot of the problem we have. We think we need to have a vision of what we will sit down and create but just the practice of making intentional marks is so valuable!! Just doodle and allow ideas to grow. I believe in that because I see it in myself. Just create - literally anything! I believe in everyone here! 🥰

I’ve been drawing daily for a while now. It has helped my skills a lot! But it can definitely be hard to feel like doing it some of the days.

Thanks to your content and your patreon I've build up the habit of daily drawing I think two years ago. My time for drawing is always in the afternoon, and when I don't get to it on busy days, I really miss it.❤

It was lovely to hear about your journey again, and so inspiring. I'm loving being part of your community, but definitely still trying to form a regular habit. It's so nice seeing everyone's contributions to the monthly prompts. At the moment, it's still exciting for me learning new things so that is motivation, but I definitely felt like I wasn't ready without the right tools (I'm trying to stick to basics materials for now, though i've promised myself a nice, shiny iPad later) I'm really enjoying using Milanote since you recommended it in another video. I'm using it to create moodboards for illustrations but also for some animated videos i'm planning to make. As a visual planning tool, it really works for me. I love that you can add little colour swatches too.

I fell out of creating for a couple of years and getting back has been painful. The memory muscle just isn't there. So instead of daily drawing I have daily disappointment 😂

I need to do something daily, because there are days where I just can’t muster up the energy after work and taking care of household tasks. My problem is keeping myself accountable, it is soooo easy for me to excuse things. It’s my biggest hurdle to overcome.

Yes so tricky! Maybe you could find an accountability buddy, somebody who is also interested in doing the same thing so that you can do it together 😊

I think it's awesome you got to use a lockdown for your long term benefit. That's fantastic. I was unfortunately considered an "essential" worker and so I worked the entire time making crazy amounts of OT for basically two years. In hindsight, I would have preferred staying home and working on me and my art. The money is nice but I was left worn out and stopped making art for almost three years. I'm back at it now and feeling good. It's summer here and my garden is enormous, but once Autumn rolls around I'm very interested in your skillshares.

I made a decision this week to start drawing every day from 1 July. Even if it's just for 15 minutes a day. I get too demotivated and then don't draw for months on end. And you know, life happens. But I'm looking forward to starting something, even if it's just to deal with stress 😊
