It’s been a year since I decided to invest in myself in art. Started with buying a PC connected tablet (pictured) and within a month or so getting a phone that comes with a pen. The phone has made a world of difference as it eliminated the barriers between my busy life and art. Join a conference call early, draw. Waiting at the doctor’s office, draw. Watching something with my wife that she enjoys but I’m not excited about, draw.
Totally worth it and the art I’ve made on this little phone sometimes gets close to artists I admire and have wish I could be like.
If you’re thinking you want to get better at art maybe eliminate barriers and do your art daily.
If you’re a reader, the book Atomic Habits has a ton of great ideas. It’s what inspired me to get the tablet and then the phone.
Looks good! Hope you keep going. Wish I could get myself to make something again :D
Maybe try the 5 minute challenge? Do something creative for just 5 minutes. I use it for chores I don’t want to do and before you know it the dishes are done.
I barely make it out of bed^^
But I put it on the pile of things to try to get out of the funk.
Seriously, I wish you all the best getting through the funk. It’s not fun being there. Hopefully you find your way out and get a lot of delightful days!
Thanks for the kind words.
