1) Why being boring is the key to being consistent
I’m a super enthusiastic guy.
I love Art Project and working on them.
And I want them to be exciting on a day to day level.
But there’s a problem with this mindset ⚠️
You tend to pick things that are
Too hard to do consistently
And eventually you drop the ball because the Enthusiasm Wears Off.
A Better Way that I’ve found is to
– Be Boring with the Artistic Routines of your Exciting Project
This is NOT to say you shouldn’t have fun ❌
But rather understand that…
Exceptional Art projects doesn’t have to be build with Exceptional Effort.
They are built with Small, Good and Deliberate Effort over a long period of time ⏰
Which is often Boring.
So, make it Simple and Boring at the start to be
Exceptional and Exciting in the end.
One small head drawn everyday is boring – but put that together, you have something.
2) Drawing Cinematic Scenes
I’ve have recently started to explore my world of ‘Spirited Kingdom’ (a World-Building Project of mine)
And have started to do these “Cinematic” drawings
Here are some
Last month, I put out a little story from this world through a Short Comic
And moving forward,
I’ll be starting an Illustration Project to further build this.
More on this later.
