Mimimoo is simply amazing. 😚
What's helping me stay consistent is keeping a picnic basket in my car of art supplies. I bring it in every day, but this way I can sit in my car on my lunch break at work and sketch! Plus the basket makes it feel cuter. But great tips, tysm Mimimoo!!
Oh my goodness I love that idea! I am definitely more likely to do things if they feel cute, so I love that you've put your supplies in a picnic basket - genius! 🥰✨
This sounds so adorable! Who wouldn’t want to sketch with a cute basket of supplies just sitting in your car ❤️
Makes it feel cuter? LOL. I’m in! ❤😊
Ohmygods 🥹 it being a picnic basket is too friken cute!!
Yes! I have to bring art supplies with me everywhere or I never find the time to sit down and draw
1. Understand your motivation
2. Take it one step at a time
3. Start small (e.g., 15 minutes per day)
4. Open your world to inspiration (e.g., nature walks, thinking of your favorite things, paying attention to your surroundings, prompts or challenges, pinterest boards, and other artists)
5. Find a schedule you can commit to
6. Make it easy for yourself (e.g., set systems)
7. Allow yourself breaks
thank u!!!
I noticed that taking the pressure off and just focusing on connections was really helpful for me. I used to create these super planned out content schedules but it always felt very impersonal and like I was trying to use a formula. I started creating what I really enjoyed and talking more directly to people and it was a big positive shift for me 😊 Thank you for another lovely video! ✨
One of my goals is to fill a sketchbook. I'm about halfway through a 70pg book. Keeping my expectations low and just drawing whatever comes to mind and not being concerned about final work.
Just stumbled across your channel yesterday and am in the process of drafting a business plan to sell digital prints! You have a great channel!
Excellent tips! the one about not being too ambitious and trying to do too much is what I really struggled with ❤
Yes same! It's so hard not to get excited about all of the ideas and put too much on our plates!
This is really helpful and positive. I have a lot of trouble being consistent with anything, even things I enjoy. Depression and ADHD (executive dysfunction) make some days difficult but this is motivating and really nice. Thank you ❤️
I'm with you on all of this. Solidarity 💕
Tapping into the inner, child-like wonder is by far, one of my biggest challenges. Your videos are inspiring though! Thank you for your content. ✨💜
Super helpful video, thank you! What helps motivate me when I'm just not feeling it is that my usual lazy task is crocheting, so I just put on some art videos while crocheting and see if any of them inspire me - if not, I don't force it, because that defeats the purpose and all, but watching videos of people making great art and improving while just doing my lazy task eventually just makes me go "man, I really want to draw", so real easy motivation
You made my day with this video Mimi 😻! I've been working on my first solo show of paintings for the past 7 months and it has felt like climbing Everest... Exciting, inspiring and promising but also stressful (have to do my best 💪🏻!) and very exausting... I so agree that sufficient amounts of rest, recovery and daydreaming are of huge importance to avoid cracking up as well as running dry so I think I better go and make myself a cup of tea and treat myself to a poppyseed bun because I need energy to paint for yet another 6 months 🍩☕!
Oh wow that's such a huge project but an exciting one too! Definitely need more tea and buns - maybe I should have added baked treats to my list of tips 😄🥰
I so enjoy your videos Mimi, with positive intent and a beautiful communication style that is both inspiring and inclusive. I always feel encouraged to strive forward after watching. I wish you continued success!
That is so kind of you to say, Chloe - I really appreciate it! 🥰
Thank you, Mimi for these lovely art tips 🙌💖🤓
I was listening to a podcast that said, “it’s important to live life by design rather than emotion. Basically, sticking to a routine is what allows us to be the healthiest version of ourselves (especially when you're fighting these demons ex. OCD for me).
I made the most healthy+lasting changes in my life when I began practising mediocre consistency. Now I try to put in consistent 40-60% effort into my habits (ex. journaling/working out) - to make sure I do it I began recording it and posting it on my youtube channel.
Because historically I have a habit of going too hard, not being able to sustain the Herculean effort, giving up and hating myself. So now I’m trying to give a small-ish, consistent mediocre effort everyday. And its crazy how it adds up.
I love that, that's great advice!
mind sharing what podcast that was? :-) I am currently working on building consistency... i put it off for so long bc iTS HaRD to COMmit and it is totally mediocre, but i am naturally coming up with a comfortable schedule/routine that will energize/heal and empower me with the habits I need. are you in to astrology? just curious!
Hello Mimi🌻 Thank you so much for sharing this. It was so so helpful and something I just needed. You're an absolute inspiration 🤍
i 100% agree with the third tip. i decided to give myself a little "rule" so to speak that for 20 minutes i do something art-related almost every day and it could really be anything like working on a WIP, a quick study or even looking at other people's art for 20 minutes. the deal is that if i get into a groove, i'll stay in it for as long as i feel like and time will allow, if i don't, it'll only take 20 minutes. it's a small but doable task that i've been keeping up with quite consistently. with it and a couple of other small but manageable tasks, i've been more creative and creating more than i have in a long time and i really feel like i'm getting somewhere slowly but surely :) this is all so so true and helpful, loved this so much mimi!
Dang I needed these reminders....thank you! (PS--your drawings are so sweet, I love them!)
Helpful as always
That sounds great! 🥰
That's exactly what I needed, thank you for sharing! 😻💕✨
Hii,😊 Mimi how are you?
Thank you for shared your own helpful art tips.❤️
Super helpful tips and the Skillshare Course List is super cool! Always browse through it and I’m so overwhelmed that I stop doing courses but to have your recommendations helps a lot 🥰
There are so many to choose from aren't there! 🥰
Your use of colors is very beautiful. I have a hard time with colors so when I see something like yours, I find it amazing that there’s talented artists who use colors so brilliantly. ❤
Thank you mimi I find my self with your videos this my motive time 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍🎯🇪🇬thank you
Thank you so much for your videos. Being consistent is my goal for 2024. You mentioned so many things that have held me back. It’s affirming knowing just 15 minutes a day can be a good starting point. You have such a calm and compassionate delivery on this subject, I really appreciate that. And your art doodles are so cheerful and charming. Love your style and subject matter! ❤
This is such an inspiring and motivating video!🥰Thank you for sharing your personal experiences and valuable tips with us💕
I found that I can be consistent with drawing when it's the first thing I do in the morning after breakfast. My mind isn't fully awake so I don't overthink, I just do the thing. Thank you for this inspiring video!
These tips are super useful! I'm so grateful for your channel it really helped me finally dive in and try making a career out of my art 😁❤️💕
Oh that's wonderful to hear! 🥰
Hi Mimi! I just wanted to say that your videos are always a highlight of my day. 😍
Ooh that makes me so happy!
Thanks for sharing this great video with us! It really helped me focus more in the direction I want to go (have been and still am a graphic designer (11 years), but never really found the courage to just do digital art). Greetings from Munich, Germany. Really like your content!
What a great video. Thank you!
Thanks for this video. Keep inspiring more people to do what they love.
Thank you so much for the tips⚘️⚘️
Your drawings are so beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤
Really great advice. I love that you include taking breaks.
This was just what I needed today! Thank you so much Mimi! I am definitely going to check out some of the Skillshare classes! What kind of drawing device do use besides the iPad. I want to expand my knowledge but just don’t know where to start 😅
Thank you! 😊
I keep a bin of pencils and a sketchbook next to where I sit on the sofa. 😊✏️
I’m trying to become more consistent again after a long hiatus, and your tips on small steps and doing what you can with the energy you have really resonated with me 💜 I’m studying the fundamentals again/finally and its seemed so daunting, but I know I’m improving by doing fundamental exercises. Thank you for being an inspiration to all of us!
Consistency looks different at different stages in our life. Thanks for the tips.💡
I wish I could thumbs up this video a million times! The advice in this video is such key advice! I am so glad I came across this video! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this lovely video! I really enjoyed watching it and put down some notes for myself. To start small and to create a scedule which I am able to follow most of the days is such an important message. I also tend to overload myself in the things I want to do leading to the feeling of not completing the tasks I would truly enjoy to do. So to start small and build up from there is so important for your motivation and and your joy for creating. Be kind to yourself everybody and let love guide you on your journey
Saying thank you is n't just saying that I ' m grateful, it's saying that I enjoyed this video, I was hoping it didn't end, to say the least, I 'm more than grateful to have watched this beautiful video thank you for sharing beautiful 🙏 I love You lots 😘
Cool tips, Mimi. Thanks a lot! ✨
Sometimes when I feel burned out and do not feel like drawing at all, I force myself to find something new and challenging to draw. Once I accomplish drawing something I unusually draw or draw something with the mediums I do not usually use, I feel recharged.
This is a beautiful and helpful video indeed! Mimi, I’d really love a tutorial or just a run down of how you learnt to draw with color pencils! Your pieces look so effortless and beautiful 🎉❤
I like your art style and beautiful work. Thanks for showing us.
These are great tips, Mimi, that can used for many other creative endeavors. 💕
I've started painting during our DnD sessions, per DM approval, since it gives me a consistent schedule and an extended time to sit down dedicated to the few tasks: painting, dice rolling, role-playing, etc.
Although, I've noticed it makes the camera shaky, so I'm going to start filming either the night before or clear off the desk in the same area/room we play DnD. That way I can still be involved, but it's not making my entire timelapse process video shaky.
Awesome!
What wonderfully professional and inspiring videos you make! Thanks for the link. That's going to be so useful for me. :)
Thank you so much for these tips! I’ll definitely be applying them, they were so helpful! 💖
Honestly I’ve noticed posting reels daily of my warm up sketches has really helped! It’s helps me get up out of bed to get some good lighting and I just end up getting it done 🫶🏻 I’ve found it has also helped me become more comfortable drawing in camera and now it doesn’t bother me at all and I look forward to it as part of my day ❤
Thank you so much ! :)
Gosto muito dos seus vídeos, obrigada por nos impulsionar 🥰
Have I been drawing more than usual lately? I m not sure but I am taking my work more seriously and I try to push myself to draw whenever there is a dead moment. Instead of scrolling I pick up my sketchbook and I draw something, something is better than nothing.
I love your content
lots of love from Italy
Great tips, thank you 😊
God bless!
So cute arts and so inspiring advice 🤗😍😍😍
Great Video and it is so well done🥹😍
Always love your videos :) I think I didn't allow myself time to 'rest' when I was drawing daily and caused a burn out.. haha.. which is worse because then I can't even bring myself to draw and it's been a couple of months. Sometimes pushing oneself way too hard is not a good idea too.. Being consistent and allowing rest is a much more feasible long-term goal :D
I use art as something to lift me up when I feel bad, and that is pretty much every day 😃 so it's not that hard for me to stay consistant. 🙂
"Thanks for the motivation."
One thing that helped me was stick to one art program. I kept changing my program because of change of OS or shifting to ipad etc n always hunting for what program is free for that system. every time I ended up relearning from scratch again n again.
It broke my motivation n joy. I'm currently trying to invest in one single program but everything on ipad is subscription based and for someone who doesn't earn in dollars it's a very high price 😭
If you don't mind me asking you which colour pencils did you use to draw in your sketch book.
is a good motivation that I lost all motivation? >_> ever since the pandemic I haven't been able to draw properly (not because of sickness...more emotional issues) and projects just piled up, so much time has passed that I'm wondering if illustration is done with me. feeling sad about that. I'm trying to get back to it, but its so hard...like you want to do it but your body won't move.
I'm working on my art studio Its upstairs so once i get up there I wont wana come back down in a while XD
Taking break days are dangerous bc for me it tend to snowball into a hiatus 😭
can you tell me which software you are using
What is your drawing tablet please?
breaks are important, and im trying to have more breaks but there is always something to do even if its not art related😑
There’s another artist on RUclips who has basically copied your style, does that bother you?
Your studio looks way too clean 😮. My place gets so messy with all the paint. Don’t know how to work clean with painting
offtopic, but drawing on that laptop looked super uncomfortable :
Its hard for me to stay motivated, because I hate my artstyle. Not saying it is bad, its quite good but its not me. Also seeing other artists on IG with drawings far more worse then mine, getting up to 1k likes and I am not even able to get 100 likes on a drawing, makes me doubt myself. I'm thinking about deleting my IG and coming back one day when I am truly confident with my artstyle and stop giving a damn about others.
I think it's important to know that Instagram likes aren't related to how good your art is. Personally I think it's best to do what you want, and there's nothing wrong with starting fresh if that feels good to you 😊
