Wake-up Your Inner Artist: Creating the Habits for Drawing Everyday

via Skillshare

Overview

Do you want to get back into drawing? Better, would you like to find the motivation to sketch everyday? In this class, I will guide you in setting up the right habits to get back to your pencils.

Hi, I’m Simon. I’m a content creator and digital illustrator. I also work full-time in corporate communications and I love it.

Drawing is my first love. I remember doodling for hours every day as a child with the rage to master perspective, proportions, shading etc. Then life got in the way, it got busier and I started neglecting my creative side. Sounds familiar?

I’ve heard this story from many friends who are all leading busy lives as professionals and/or as parents of young children. That’s why I’ve created this class.

In this fun and inspiring class, I will share with you my personal story tips on how to get out of a creative rut that lasted a few years in my case.

Who is this class for?

- Anyone who leads busy lives and can set 5 min every day to draw

What material do I need to get started?

I’m a firm believer in using tools that both inspire you and fit within your budget. In this class, you can use any art medium you are comfortable with, including:

  • Traditional art media (i.e. pencil, watercolour, gouache etc.) 
  • Digital art media (i.e. photography, photoshop, illustrator, procreate etc.)

In addition, you will learn from concrete examples of my own personal journey and how I was able to launch my 100 days of happiness project online. This class is a great initial step towards awakening your inner artist and falling in love with drawing all over again.

What can I expect from this class?

In this class, we will set the right foundations to get you to:

  • Re-discover your creative side
  • Make drawing part of your daily routine
  • Gain confidence as an artist

By the end, you will have completed a 3-step project that consists of:

  • Finding inspiration
  • Getting started
  • Being accountable

These engaging projects will help you to explore your creative style and develop a habit of drawing everyday.
