Hi there! In this episode I’m recapping my April 2020, and talking about taking more time to create “quietly” 😉
Let’s get to it!
Creating Over Sharing
I’m an artist who naturally gravitates towards sharing my art, processes tips and techniques. It’s very easy for me to fall into the “trap” of sharing at the detriment of creation (aka instead of focusing FULLY on the artwork, I’ll take breaks to take pics and share).
In addition, lately I’ve been feeling the potential and the long way I have to grow as an artist, compared to where I’m currently at.
This gap annoyed me and I decided to close it.
All of the above led to me taking more time for pure creation, drawing, painting, practicing etc. – As opposed to sharing.
This meant a slight decrease in posts in many channels.
I’m NOT Going Anywhere Though
Some channels I’m adamant about, and have kept very consistent on:
– YouTube
– IGTV
– Weekly Podcasts
– Weekly emails
And, I believe I will go back to the more regular consistency of content pretty soon, once I feel like I gained what I needed (:
What I’ve Been Creating
Here are some of the skills I’ve been practicing in quiet:
– Watercolor
– Anatomy
– Gesture drawing
– Manga
– Digital drawing &painting
– Storyboarding
Videos I Posted / Am Working On
I recently posted a video I think you’ll love, about 3 unique watercolor painting exercises.
You can check it out here:
In addition, I’ll post a vid on Saturday on DRAWING, showing a quicker VS slower approach.
PencilKings.com – Interview with Mitch Bowler
About a week ago I was interviewed by Mitch Bowler from PencilKings.com (which is an excellent resource for concept and drawing, I highly recommend you check them out). We talked about the artistic career, creative growth and much more.
The episode should be out in a few weeks, and I’ll keep you updated on that one. I had a fun time and Mitch is a great guy!
And this is it for today! If you want to reach out – you know where to find me 😉
Take care, and stay safe!
