    I find that sometimes we're really bad judges of how much something means to us and why. I neglected art for years thinking it wasn't important, but I'm not healthy when I don't create. Took me forever to learn that lesson. 🍃

      Lauren Temple great point, Lauren! I think we as humans lost the sense of what creating art should mean to us. Nowadays it is always has to be like Instagram or Facebook worthy, but this is not important. The process is what makes difference in the end of the day.

    Definitely has that vintage look that I love. Beautiful!
    One thing I learned from Inktober is that having a daily completed drawing does not work for me. The pressure of that daily deadline took the fun out of it plus I was often disappointed in the quality of the art. So, instead, I plan to make drawing a daily habit but not a completed work. Maybe work on the same painting or drawing each day until I feel it is finished. That kind of habit is much less daunting for me.

    Hey Minnie 👋
    I wanted to compliment you on how effective you are in getting ads in your video and making them not feel like ads. I am so used to hearing an ad in a video and immediately skipping through it to the content. With your videos, you are genuine and have wonderful delivery, so I never am feeling the need to skip through. I love your content and hope 2020 is rewarding for you!

    I have so little hours in a day with a full time job and 2 kids it's just so hard finding time for art. I mostly liked doing acrylic paintings on canvas and that takes up lots of time. So I've started looking for ways to do it on a smaller scale every day and that's how I found your channel :) Thank you, you've inspired me to start filling some sketch books and start working more with watercolor and gouache. By the end of this year I hope to have at least 1 or 2 sketchbooks filled and to have build my skill further. One day I would love to be able to make a living doing what I love, but I know I have to get much better at it.

    I've been tracking my time using Google calendar and another benefit is that after a while it makes you want to do things instead of scroll through Instagram because at the end of the day when you look at your calendar you don't want to see mostly one color that is associated with procrastination

    I really enjoy making art but honestly, I find it always hard for me to start to draw or paint. And when I try to do it, I always having an art block and sometimes it took me 1 or 2 hours to find an inspiration or something to draw. But anyway, I really enjoy when I've already focus and start to do some art and I find it hard for me to stop when I've already into it. Apart from that, your video is so inspiring & it always make me feel so calm whenever I watch it.

    I love this spread, especially the inked poinsettia petals, and this topic is something I really want to tackle myself too. I've made it a habit to draw every day, but so many days when I don't feel in the mood, it ends up being nothing more than a scribble. It at least keeps me from quitting (not that I would now, but when I first started drawing I'd go on and off with it, and in order to make it a steady hobby I've been drawing every day for years), but at this point my focus is not just on sticking with it but improving. The past few weeks have been pretty awful art-wise, I've been really busy and my skills aren't what I want them to be and all that, but my painting class started today (YAY!) and I'm going to put a lot of effort into painting every day. I probably won't start with a time goal at first, just so long as I paint something at all, but eventually I'd like to challenge myself to spend even more time on it, especially since it's my goal to sell art and have a career from it! Thank you for your helpful & motivating videos

    I love skill share, it's taught me so much. I've taken Helen Colebrook's class Journaling for Positivity, and I can't wait to get into more of her classes. And my reason for doing art? All of the above! I work a regular nine-to-five and during my breaks I'm doing art; on my lunch break I'm doing art; when I get home from work I'm doing art. LOL. I try to squeeze it in just whenever I can.

    Thanks so much Minnie small. I’ve been on this art journey with you these last 3 years and I have to say that everything you talk about resonates with me. I’m having this struggle and is comforting to know that I’m not alone and it’s ok it’s part of the growth process. I wake up 2 hrs earlier every day to work on my art. I’ve realized that I have to plan and do prep work so that time can be maximized. Hoping to do better at that this year. Loved the video, keep doing you

    i keep a small sketchbook in the inner pocket of my jacket, with a pen loop and a ballpoint pen in it, so i can easily access it on the go when im commuting :) another tip i would add regarding finding time - maybe theres something you need to give up to make time, something that doesnt make you as happy or fulfilled or serves your goals. perhaps cancel netflix, make easier/quicker meals, or stay home instead of going out partying. i dont know your life!
    but i would also add that ten minutes can be enough to do a sketch and keep the practice going. i truly believe you can find ten minutes to draw if you allow yourself to :)

    I did art school for one year at my local college in 1990/ 1991.... My confidence was knocked badly due to feeling so inadequate compared to my peers at the time. I never really engaged in many art projects after leaving. Now in my mid 40s I am desperate to really start my art, to become good enough that people may want it on their walls... but I have this introject from all those years ago stopping me from eating my sketchbook out everyday... I could easily find half an hour or an hour but the feeling of not being good enough is overwhelming a lot of the time. I know if I draw/ paint everyday I am sure to improve, but I really really struggle to even pick up a pencil. Any tips on how to overcome this ‘not good enough’ phase would be great.

    "How to Have More *Time* For Art in 2020"... Actually have it? Hahahaha. My university classes have sucked all my humor away. * - * They're not so hard, or terribly boring (except maybe geography; the professor's voice makes me want to fall asleep), but they take so much of my time. Luckily, I have a Ceramics class, so I at least have some time to focus on art, and art alone.
    Thanks for the chill time Minnie, your advice reminds me of what's important. I need time to breathe, and not feel as if I have to do this, I have to do that. You make me not feel guilty about taking time to do... nothing. Just to take a moment, do something 'meaningless', when that meaninglessness is integral to my mental/physical health.
