Jul 30 How Long Does It Take To Make A Drawing?

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!

In today's video, I’m addressing a frequently asked question: "How long does it take to make a drawing?" Whether my artwork takes hours or just a few minutes, I'll share insights and examples from my drawing archive, as well as the time it took to create each piece.

One common and stubborn misconception is that you need hours and a perfectly set-up workspace to create art. This mindset can create a high threshold and might discourage you from starting at all. But I have good news: you can achieve a lot in just 15-20 minutes!

In today's video:

You'll see time-stamped drawings from my archive.
I address how setting a timer for 15-20 minutes can boost your productivity.
I talk about the experiences of my workshop participants; they often surprise themselves with how much they can accomplish in a short time.

Challenge for Today:

Grab your sketchbook, set a timer for 20 minutes, and draw anything in front of you - without overthinking. Enjoy the process and embrace the imperfections and the wonkiness. Have fun with it!
