The one problem that I can’t quite fix.
|
One of the most common struggles I hear from people in this community is a lack of consistency. People have a tough time making time for their art and letting creativity be a regular part of their lives. It’s hard, when you have a life full of work, family, friends, domestic chores, and so much more, to squeeze in those habits and routines that mean so much. It’s interesting to see how art, expression, and creativity are the first to get tossed overboard when life gets hectic. And it always gets hectic, doesn’t it? So, how do you find consistency? How do you nail down those slippery things that you can’t quite get your hands around? I gotta be honest with you… I don’t know. I fight this battle every damn day. And after all these years, I still feel like Sysophis, endlessly pushing the boulder up a hill only to watch it roll right back down. But we have to keep trying. Keep fighting. Keep pushing the boulder up again and again. Because giving up isn’t an option. My lack of consistency in my life has led to plenty of strife – it’s put me on my back foot, made me feel like a failure, and nearly killed this whole business countless times. But I’m not going to let that stop me from giving another push. You never know when this one will be THE one – the point where you crest a plateau, a point of rest and celebration, the new bottom of your hill. Progress is slow and grueling, but we must find a way to fall in love with the process because to give up is to give up on life.

Making art doesn't have to be hard, Reader. You don't always need to plan an elaborate piece, or have a theme -- or even what materials to use. Sometimes it's as easy as sitting down, picking up whatever pen you have lying around, and making a few messy marks. Just the other day, I was feeling overwhelmed and sat down in a huff at my desk in front of an open sketchbook. I grabbed the sharpie pen that was within reach and started squiggling all over the page without any thought or plan. I...
Hello Reader! I'm coming at you with something new -- a newsletter, to be exact! I've wanted to do a monthly newsletter for years, but I didn't really know where to begin. It wasn't until recently that I saw Peggy's newsletter (of The Pigeon Letters fame) that I was inspired to give it a try. So here we are! I want to use this monthly newsletter to connect with you on a more human-to-human level. You can expect this to be a place where I share all the nonsense that tickles my fancy as well as...
Reader, do you ever have it where you draw one beautiful, perfect eye, but the second one always ends up weird? Or do your characters always end up looking stiff and unnatural? I used to struggle with this all. the. time. My go-to drawing workflow always started with the eyes, then the rest of the face, then the body, one limb at a time. I thought this was THE way to draw people and faces, so I clung to it for years. Flipping through my old sketchbooks, I see it everywhere -- half-done faces...
