My simple, LIFE-CHANGING art tip!

I just wanted to share something that I realized that might not be obvious to everyone! It's changed the way I look at sketchbooking and helped me get through moments where I feel like nothing is coming out right.

OMG I haven't even watched the video yet and I'm absolutely obsessed with the cat in the thumbnail.

I wish wish wish I remember the artist who did this, but they would do something called "mind horse" where if they could draw a horse they liked without reference they knew they were properly warmed up!

[ninjayukaria]

I always forget to warm up and i beat myself up beacuse drawing feels so hard right now. Your video is a very refreshing reminder to be kind to oneself and to make sure i actually warm up before getting too frustrated 😊

(☆▽☆) Thank you for the art tip, it made me realize that even though it's different from the reference or what we imagined at the beginning, if the intention is to try it and enjoy it from the beginning, it's worth it. ❤

Simple, but very good advice. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing your new perspective on your art! 🍃💫 This video on mindset came at the right time since I tried casually sketching on printer paper, the kind you can easily ball up and throw away. Except I didn’t - those sketches became my favorite results of the day. Drawing daily and being messy on purpose can give us more chances to experiment and feel less precious about our art. Covering up your sketches like that reminded me of collage work, and I like how we can integrate various materials in our sketchbooks. Great vid!

This is just what I needed!!! This gave me a new perspective for sure. I tend to be too hard on myself if I start a project and it doesn’t turn out right. Warming up definitely helps so much with preparing your hand and get some random doodles on paper. Also taking advantage of random art supplies for warm ups is so fun. Drawing from observation is seriously so helpful for learning. I always love seeing your videos and this video was really encouraging. :)

So pretty! Very true about warming up, it can take forever but it’s worth it :3

[Wigglewompwomp]

Thank you so much! This was so helpful! I feel like every art video I’ve watched is the same and I get a little drained not getting a satisfying answer but with this I really liked how you went through the steps and process on really just figuring everything out and I felt like I could really relate to this video! So thank you so much! ❤

[enhylight]

I love watching you draw with these wax pastel! It looks so great
Thank you for the video ❣️

[Kiinotasha]

Huh. I’m going to try this with writing as well I think. Thank you for the tips!

[liesbethartlife]

Great video and even better advice ! Love the kitty cat ! Hope your doing a cat theme for patreon one day.
Once I’m warmed up from drawing, for me that’s also the time I have to stop for the day 😢 so horrible this body of mine

[floresdenoche]

A good warm up I like to do is just shapes lines pattern etc. Not focus on anything in particular just making random patterns it helps a lot, also to use construction or loose paper instead of directly drawing in my sketch book so there no pressure if there's something I like in my warm up paper I just cut it and glue it in my sketch book -w- hope it helps ^o^

[FaroshsFang]

This video is such a nice reminder because honestly I at times forget to warm up and just hop straight into an idea because Im just so excited to draw HAHA !! Learning to take things slow is a hard lesson for me to grasp I swear 😂😗Also I'm glad that you aren't sorry for it because I love seeing you draw animals and personify them QWQ !!! Animal doodles are some of my favorite to see and I just love watching you make watercolor pieces of them smmm <333 🥲😭🧡🧡!!!
Also I heard shrimp keychains 👁👁💘

I just want to note something here. Even if you're looking at another artist's work, that's not really cheating either. That's one of the things a study is, looking at the work a master has done and trying to replicate it. We did it something like this in my Intro to Design class in college. The issue is when you try to claim another artist's work as your own.

[cloroi]

So for art if I don't know what to draw I tend to scroll pinterest and find art that I like to try and redraw, using shapes to see how the original artist does their art, I feel like that has helped me a lot with figuring out some parts to stylize like the eyes or hair, but I never post the pictures and always put the artists tag in my sketchbook so I can check out their other work

[Wrathgir]

I should doodle a bit before my drawings to warm up. think I might do that now actually. :)

[SunnyBunsDrawing]

Jelarts:its a little wonky
Me:WHAT THIS JS BETTER THAN ME TRYING TO WORK ON SOMETHING FOR MONTHS!?😱

[fuzzydragons]

you can never draw too many animal travellers!🥰
