Whats Your Motivation To Draw Like What Keeps You Active To Keep Going And Gettin Done?

What’s your motivation to Draw like what keeps you active to keep going and gettin done?

I’m just looking for Advice because I’m struggling with getting one piece done

If you don’t mind

Hmmm- well for me 3 things. One- seeing other people’s artwork and listening/ watching YouTube videos about art. From tutorials, to historical videos, and “my life as a so-and-so artist”. Seeing another’s person’s art helps me feel creative. Even old paintings inspire me.

Second- the learning process. I enjoy learning new skills, and with art you’re constantly learning new things. How a certain lighting interacts with different colors, how this composition works, or by doing “this and this” it makes “this”.

One thing I found encouraging was how many really professional artists, to this day, have their own personal sketch books with scribbles and nonsense in them. Ones that they’re too embarrassed to show others cuz “oh I drew this wrong” or it’s them experimenting with different styles. Even if they’re considered “masters”.

The third is storytelling. I love stories and I enjoy creating stories even if just little short scenes with my drawings. I’m still learning and experimenting but I love it.

If you’re stuck on an art piece I do recommend taking a break and setting it aside. Take the time to engage with something you really enjoy, or inspires you. Yeah yeah I know- everyone says this but it’s true!

Osiris floating while sitting down is amazing lol. Hmm, new warlock idea unlocked

also i just wanna have these guys on here permanently ehehehee

It's so soothing to see sylenth's drawing vids. Also, I need to know what inks she uses for these. Cause I've only ever tried fountain pen ink, but it doesn't like to be put in a pile of water to lighten it up. It just kinda goes everywhere. But I've seen people do drawing with FP ink with ink washes that way before. Maybe I've just been unlucky with the colors I have. Her art vids remembers me I need to experiment with inks more

Painting process, mostly with inks and markers 🎨

Longer video is available on YouTube, btw! I'll add the link in a reblog, if you're interested 👇

Ooh....

A violin is a very warlock instrument

— I didn't know you can play the violin. — Shouldn't there be some mystery in me as well?

Sagira likes floofy things is adorable. I can imagine Saint getting Sagira and Geppetto the floofiest pillows for some much needed rest from bird watching.

OH I JUST NOTICED in that art with sleeping Osiris and Sagira, Felwinter lended them his coat, didn't he? My heart is going to explode 😭😭😭

Agfksdjks yeah, he did! Only his coat has such an impressive fur collar 😂 (Excuse me for marinating your ask for some time, but I wanted to dig up a fitting sketch I had for it and then I... got a little carried away with the coloring........ ANYWAY)

(also thank you, I'm always glad when people notice such things 💙)
