I used to do this. It was so natural I didn't realize how much it was doing for me until you also put it in words. This is why it is important to listen and watch other artist. It might be a reminder or a new tips to push past a technique blundering. Thank you very much for your hard work and efforts 🤗❤️👍🏽💯
I've been keeping a gratitude art journal, just sketching for 10-15 mins first thing in the morning, for about 7 months now and it's certainly helped with a more positive attitude. But I've also noticed my drawing getting better and a change in my creative capacity and perspective. Definitely worthwhile.
I love seeing your creative process. This was very affirming and inspiring. Drawing is too stressful for me, but lately I’ve been working a few minutes on a puzzle in the mornings. It gets my brain going and I love seeing the colors come together like when I color. I typically spend my late evenings coloring, and when I’m not obligated to anything, I like to start my day with it for a bit. Thanks so much for sharing this new routine!
Thank you so much, Christina! 💖 I'm glad you enjoyed my video. It's neat to hear the different ways you incorporate creativity into your routine, whether puzzles or coloring. I know what you mean about seeing the colors come together when you work on a puzzle. I've been pecking away at one of my diamond paintings for a few minutes every day, and it's a good way to get my brain going when I'm feeling sluggish! 😊
Any ideas on how to keep my acrylic markers from drying up? I get a pretty short time of use before they dry up and Have tried dipping them in water and other tips, but they're not usable. Just got my first Posca set, and they are not cheap. I hate to have them dry up, too. Thanks!
Some brands of paint markers dry out much more quickly than other brands, and luckily I've found that Poscas tend to last the longest! I've never had a problem with Poscas drying out. Just make sure the caps are on tight when you're done. If they do dry out and there's still paint inside, Posca sells replacement nibs. But in my experience, Poscas can last for years and years without drying out! Enjoy your new markers! 😃🎨
This was a very good video, Thaneeya. I love that you have this new routine. We are all too distracted with our devices & look at our phone usually first thing in the morning. Your new routine is the perfect way to start the day. I love all your cute sketches. Well done & keep up the great work. Xx🙂👍👏👏
Thank you so much, Lyn! 💕 I'm so happy you enjoyed the video and that you love my cute sketches! 😊💖 Making art is such a refreshing way to start the day! 🎨
Fantastic video! Love the idea of drawing as soon as you wake up! One of my goals this year is to keep a sketchbook where I don’t use any references and drawing in it first thing in the morning is a great idea! Thanks for sharing! Also, your pencil pouch is so cute! 🧡💕🦋💕🧡
Thanks so much! I’m so happy you liked my video and my pencil pouch! 🥰💕 That's awesome that you want to have a reference-free sketchbook this year. At first I was worried I'd run out of ideas, but it's amazing how the ideas can flow from your imagination once you get started! Enjoy!! 😃🎨🌟
Beautiful art and sketchbook! There are great tips here. However, I am definitely not a morning person. I don't check my phone first thing in the morning which is a great thing for me but I have to get up pretty early and have to get ready for my day job which is not artistic at all. When it is time to come home from work, I find that I am pretty tired and I try to do something artistic but I find it challenging to keep my focus and there are times I just don't want to do anything at all. How would you battel this issue or someone out there battle this issue. I am looking for anything that can help. I find that I am a better person when I am doing art but I find it hard with my energy level coming down to almost zero at the end of the day.
Thanks so much ~ I'm happy you like my art and sketchbook! 😃 Awhile ago I had a bad bout of insomnia that left me tired and unmotivated to make art most days. The thing that helped me the most was having a WIP always out on my desk with the relevant art supplies right next to it, ready to go. I find that it's easier to get back into an existing artwork, than to start from scratch. Even if I just pecked away at the same artwork for weeks or months, for a few minutes at a time, it really helped with my overall well-being. Another idea: any kind of low-pressure sketching or doodling, with no expectations. Just something to get your hands moving and creative juices flowing. You could put a show or podcast on in the background if that helps with relaxation after a long day. I'd love to hear other people's suggestions too! Hope this sparks some ideas and you find something that works for you! 🎨✨
@@thaneeya Thank you! I have been starting to "Doodle" more myself. It does help. I will try leaving a few supplies out to see if that could do it too. Thank you again!
Hi First Thing I'm up & out at Work at 7.45 so no time to draw. But I always manage between 1.00 or just after till aleast 2.15 to Sketch, I have to use a Refrance photo of what I'm doing. Now I tend to leaving Sketches now to choose colouring in on a later Day, I find it Fun to leave them alone. I've got Crayola Twistables & pencils they are fun to use. Get different results ever time. My sketches are also there to help me with my 50 Christmas Gifts that I make, I have to sketch what I want before I put it on a Felt Sheet. You can't rub out ink on Felt, believe me I have so tried to do so. I've also used skctches in my phone that I have photographed as well, because I needed a Landscape photo instead of looking online. At the time I couldn't find my Sketchbooks & one or Two had already gone as Christmas gifts, So I want to see what a landscape would look like on a Felt Sheet, trying out different Ideas & doing a New Felt Mugs. I needed to find the correct Reference photo for Ice cream in a Mug or a Cup, I have a least 10 Sketches, but coloured them all in different shades to try & work out what works & doesn't. This time I even Sketched out Glass one's too, because I never done them before, my Badges that I did of an ice-cream were poplar along with the Mugs, but I only had 2 Designs & needed more. I'm doing Sleeping Lions, Tigers & Giraffes, a friend loved there sleeping Tiger that was Neon Threads & my Bears heads In Neon threads hats too. I'm Trying them in Cowboy hats with the Full Bear this time, fortunately I remember where my sketchbook was & working in my New little Sketchbook with Animals in Christmas hats for Next Year too, I like to get a head Start on things in April. But thought that I'd get sketches done on paper then Drawn Straight onto the Felt, the reason I know that you can't get rid of ink on Felt is I did a Sloth without a Sketch & it looked Terrible & I couldn't tell what I had done incorrect, until I looked one up & did 4 Sketches. The answer was the arms & nose were off & the Fur lines as well. Thank you ⭐⭐⭐⭐
That's great that you have a creative routine that works for you and your schedule! 😃 Sounds like a lot of fun sketching and making your Christmas gifts. Very inspiring! Thank you for sharing!! 😊🎨🖍
