Why Fewer Art Supplies Make You More Creative
Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!
This month on YouTube, I am focusing on finding different kind of challenges to get you out of a rut if you're in one or just to spark some creativity.
And in today's video, I challenge you to limit your tools and see how freeing it can be!
I’m using just three simple drawing tools: aStabilo Woody 3-in-1 (water-soluble black pencil), a BIC pink children's colored pencil, and a Caran d’Ache Luminance turquoise colored pencil
With fewer tools, you focus more on shapes, composition, and creative decision-making. Plus it makes sketching on location so much easier! In this video I draw someone in an interior, like I would do at home or in a café.
I''ll give you tips for making the most of a minimal set of tools.
Let’s draw and get you out of the creative rut!
Materials used:
Handbook Journal, size A5
Stabilo Woody 3 in 1 watersoluble pencil (black)
Bic kids colored Pencil, pink
Caran d’Ache Luminance colored pencils, Chrysocolla Blue
