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
