RE: 10 Weeks Drawing Challenge Day 7 - Do not break the chain!
Nice sketch! :)
In my opinion though don't make this into a chore, you will eventually burn out :) I'm telling this from personal experience.
I've noticed for myself the best way to get pumped up and get the urge to draw is by watching pictures of people or certain arts, it is truly inspiring.
@hentikage , Yes a lot of people tell me this from their experience, and I think you all are definiteley right in a certain way, but right now this gives me power and motivation and even though it's hard from time to time, I feel a lot better than doing long breaks (which in the past lead me to depression and feeling like... without purpose? (if that makes sense)... I also think as soon as it becomes a natural habit (like brushin teeth or so), it will burn away the fear of starting and wrong perfectionism which lead me to not drawing for months, even years. I am spending a lot of time outside inbetween and enjoy life, so right now its just about the relief of actually being productive and confident with myself at the end today. Also I can appreciate the breaks or other things a lot more because I know, that I already did something that helps me grow. Before I always had a bad conscience of even having fun or doing social activies. I think what I am doing right now might not be the perfect or healthiest way, but at least right now it feels somewhat better than what I did before :). If that makes sense... And I also see this process as a process... Maybe in a few months/years I am a lot wiser how to use/schedule my time and make the most out of it without feeling guilty and more confident with myself and my art.. we'll see :D But thank you for you kind words! :) Really appreciate it!
