for the past two years after i graduated college, ive been struggling with creating art. the burnout was real and not creating made me feel like i lost a piece of myself. i've been drawing for as long as i can remember, it feels unnatural to not be drawing. it took a looong time for me to find that part of myself again. if you feel like you're struggling with making art, take a look around this post. these are resources that helped me with my mindset and the dynamics of my art!

carolemellow - i don't really know what im doing
this video played a big role in changing my mindset about creating art again ♡‎

kingsada - HOW TO RENDER LIKE THIS!!! - Rendering Demo
‎kingsada is very entertaining while explaining how he renders his works :D‎

vikartstuf - how to make color studies
a short video on how to choose better colors. spoiler, its practice!
even though its simple, his explanation and process give great results
simple process + lots of practice and study = great skill and outcome‎

sketches of shay - why art isn't fun anymore (and how you can change that)
another mindset video ^^
shay talks about fear, perfection, comparisons and the overall negativity artists face when creating works ‎

sketches of shay - sketchbook tour: developing my style, sticker designing, and more!
this is another shay video that i found super helpful. i really love the part where she talks about her process from sketch > digital > acrylic painting.

tip: you dont have to follow the 'rules'. break them, pick and choose techniques, and make your own process :]
