Hello and I hope you're all doing great today
I haven't uploaded a video for the past week because I've been busy working on a few things
I wanted to take some time to focus on trying to build up my creativity more
Which is something I wanted to talk about today in this video. I don't want my drawing to be a chore
I don't want it to be like a nine-to-five job
You know when I'm working all day and I come home
Drawing for me. I wanted to be something that's relaxing and
Sure, there are times that we need to improve it our drawing
we need to practice a lot and put a lot of work into it to get better and
Some people have talent and they don't have to put as much time into drawing
but let's set that aside and just talk about
Finding creativity and finding motivation
Now when I'm doing drawing and I do it every single day and it's the same thing over and over and over
If I'm trying to learn how to draw a face and I'm drawing a face at the same angle over and over and over again
To learn how to do that. I tend to lose my creativity and
When I take the time to just relax
Pick any random pen I have or a pencil or anything and I just focus on being creative and trying different
art styles
No drawing different subjects. I
Feel more relaxed and I can you know, let ideas come to my mind
I'm not worried as much about making small mistakes because I noticed that when I'm more relaxed with my drawing
Any time I do make a small mistake
it's not really a mistake as more of a
improvised accident that I build upon if I make a line and a location that I didn't quite intend I
Build upon that I add to it and I make more to the drawing
That I wouldn't have originally made in the drawing if I was focusing on perfection. I want to focus more on creativity
the world has a lot of art that is very perfected and
Although I do want to go the route of doing realism and doing realistic drawings
for this moment and in the upcoming months, I
Want to work on being more creative?
doing a lot more doodling and just
taking whatever comes my mind it just trying to put it on the paper and not being so worried about whether
Proportions are perfect or the anatomy is perfect. I just want to focus on having fun
relaxing a bit
getting things off my mind and
Just enjoying the process of drawing when it comes to creativity and finding that creativity
What I like to do is to get out some I'll watch different movies. I'll spend some time listening to music
Or just take a break from drawing for a day
I'll still practice for my thirty minutes
But I'll take a break as in I won't spend hours drawing non-stop and I won't spend a whole bunch of time
every single day
Focusing so much on trying to make my drawing
Perfect. I'll take a day ever now and then maybe once a week or every couple of weeks
To where I spend an entire day of just relaxing listening to music
being inspired by several different movies and
Spending some time to just sit down and think about things from my past
some ideas and goals that I have in the future that I plan on trying to achieve and
with that I'm able to relax a lot more and then I have more ideas coming on my mind and then I think about
You know some places that I want to go maybe some places I want to travel
and then when I think about different places like to travel I think of
noses other places that are in the world and then
reminds me of things in history and then I think about, you know different movies from that time and
Then my creativity just really branches out from there. Then I have more ideas. I
also tried to
Make sure that I have a good diet
Make sure that I'm sleeping properly and I like to wake up every morning at the same time. I
Find that waking up every morning at the same time is more important than going to bed at the same time
because once you get into a routine, I
find a lot easier to be more creative because
Then I'm not worried about all the hours that I'm wasting and I don't really get stressed about
you know thinking that today I didn't do as much drawing and and
Then tomorrow I have to do more - whereas if I had set a schedule and I wake up every day
My day is set now I wake up in the morning. I eat a big breakfast and
I open my blinds and let the Sun come in and I spend some time just sitting there and thinking about things and
Once I have a few ideas coming out of my mind, and I've had my meal and I feel better and I'm well rested
Then I can be much more creative
Than if I have a lack of sleep a bad diet
it unfolds of stress trying to push myself to improve the improvement will come but
It won't always be there if you're pushing yourself beyond the point of no return
Your mind is just like a muscle. You don't want to overwork it. You want to work it hard
But you want to give your mind some time to rest and collect itself so gonna be more creative
It's more important to just start
Then a waste time fearing failure
So whatever you're doing
Keep trying and never give up
Just go out there and start creating
