How To Overcome A Creative Block
Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!
You know that I'm passionate about drawing every day. Life is better when you draw (it)—it's even the title of my book...
You also know that my goal is to inspire you to be creative and make art. But we all face creative blocks. Sometimes, it's tough to start drawing, even for just 5 minutes.
Here's what you need to know:
You ARE an artist, regardless of doubt.
Avoid comparing yourself to others.
Don't let perfectionism hold you back.
Instead of aiming for grand art, focus on having fun with your favorite tools.
Don't be precious about your work; prioritize your wellness and art time.
Create a stack of drawings you like and pin them on your wall.
Remember, freedom comes with regular practice.
Your sketchbook is your creative playground and gym.
Don't force it; take a break and do something else you enjoy.
You'll naturally gravitate back to your art supplies.
Let's break those creative barriers and make art together! Remember, drawing is all about the journey, not just the destination. So pick up that pen, and let's get drawing! You got this.
If you're ever stuck, check out the playlist of videos I made during my creative block.
