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
