How are you gonna adjust your daily routine to get better faster? Any tips we didn’t mention here that you think will be useful to know?
I would say a good night sleep. For me it's more important that drawing itself. I'm a morning person so it helps me start a day and put all that energy into art. After all that I take the day to the fullest by being with family and my doggo, do every thing i need to do for a day and repeat!
when summer end their hot temperatures, i'll come back to run. And i'm trying to waste less time on my pc because every time i turn it on, i lose myself up looking videos or playing videogames for a little too much time and i don't like this. I'm more
motivated now thanks!
Thanks for this! Also, around 500 until you are to 1 mil subs!! You deserved that a long time ago! Proud of you, dude!
What's your daily routine proko?
I think practicing the basics to warm up is a good point. My OC is a lot of basic shapes (ovals and cones) so maybe working on that will get my hand steadier. I think I need to add about 1 hour of practice every other day and switch off with idea brainstorming on the off days. I have so many ideas that I want to turn into art that I can't do just yet that writing them down helps me get my creativity flowing.
"The goal here is failure on a daily basis." -Ron Lemen
That's some deep stuff.

It’s only by failing that we learn. Otherwise why would have to learn it at all if we already knew it. Get it. Bless
@@jimaforwood743 Write that down f**king albin davis🤧
(@Nicholas Lantz) Yeah, that hit me too. Oddly enough, I found that advice encouraging.
Indeed. It really hit home for me. I've been trying to do the opposite of fail 100% of the time! Dumb! How will I ever improve if I all I do is finished works and never practice? This advice is really impactful for me.
I particularly liked Ron Lemon's response. ''You need to train over and over again. The goal is failure on a daily basis. Because if you don't fail when you are doing, you won't recognize it and have the experience to solve it." This applies to any occupation or hobby. The 10,000 hour rule.

1.) Meditate
2.) Check emails
3.) Wish I meditated longer
Cool guy xD
hahahahah
I lowkey find meditating is bs but I sure believe it calms you down. But theres so much make believe to it that I just am not fond of though
Meditation is part of my daily routine... helps before I start diving into drawing (and helps with life, too)
@Scotty Davlin ye, meditation is closer to sophrology than anything else, as you try and empty your mind of thoughts for a moment, mostly using breathe controlling exercises.. i used to believe it was all bs as well.. but someone experienced took me to a session and i changed my mind.
Yeah,...dude,...I’m 56 and getting a late start in my drawing routine,...I used to be all over the place, now I just focus on pencil and charcoal portrait drawing,...that’s it, nothing else,....I’m a plumbing contractor so I’m busy, trained my self to keep my drawing materials with me and draw when I have down time,...getting excited cause now for the first time I’m seeing my portraits looking realistic,....so yeah,..discipline, keeping my materials with me and just focusing on one area and drawing everyday when I have down time,...I’m also a member of your online drawing site,...that’s helps me as well.
awesome
right on baby !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Way to go, man! I feel you. I'm 33 and I just started drawing too. Best wishes for both of us
Consider usingless ... you know kind of like ... these dots that make you look like you're all .... all sad and stuff
I got you beat brother. I,m 62 and just started drawing again. I used to do it years ago,even went to art school for a year. Then I gave it up for music. I guess I stopped because I felt like my music was more important. Big mistake! I could have been drawing all these years in hotels,airports,foreign countries etc. Anyway back at it and love these videos. I have to guard against negative thoughts like I'm too old,its too late,blah blah. But I enjoy doing it so what the hell.
I absolutely love this video. In art school I had this professor that was a lot like the third guy in this video (Ron Lemen). They are the kind of people that eat, sleep, and breathe art and are completely and entirely dedicated to their work. As much as I respect and admire people like this (I would kill to have that much passion and dedication), it’s also so intimidating and disheartening. My professor especially, always made us feel like we weren’t real, true artists if we weren’t like this too. He would continuously tell us that we should rethink our art career if drawing and creating wasn’t on our mind 24/7. I personally think that’s a super unrealistic expectation to have for creators. People are very different and work in various ways. And it’s just so nice to see all these other professional artists who have these different routines and show how you don’t have to be that kind of artist to succeed!
Look at Da Vinci, he did much more than drawing, and yet he drew the picture that is the most famous for a couple hundred years now.
@@Gleichtritt he's left tons of work unfinished - even court assignments! yet he's became famous, because he was so dedicated to his own cause and curiosity. I'm not sure he's a good example for drawing up a modern day creative business. badass tho.
:'D
Tbh it’s true. If you’ve got the opportunity, the love and the passion for this that’s what makes you great. But what bugs me about that is that art becomes a big slob or even banal if you become a shut in because you’re not absorbing the information necessary to have a good output, meaningful, skill full and most of all fun to you. I mean, fun is not in contradiction to hard, but 5 hours of pure focus and study which 8-6 hours of sleep will grant you is worth infinitely more than your exhausted scribbles you make to fill in some imagined quota. Even if you draw for 12 hours, you need to know this is not something you can do everyday; more common you will hit the 10 or 8 hour mark if you’re going daily. Don’t waste your life. Follow your gut.
This should have been 2 questions. What was your daily routine when learning as a student? And what is your daily routine as a professional
@yeah boy hmm.

Kind of a *late* reply, but for anyone else reading this, I think student and professional routines should be fairly similar. You're learning to become a professional as a student, so you might as well have a professional's routine. Inversely, a professional should be a student indefinitely, especially in the arts.
Other than that, all the advice about being aware about your time and having a healthy work-life balance that the interviewees give is important but you have to figure out what works for you and your workload. You can't answer these questions with specifics. That's just my take on it, though.
@@ashley587 I saw several artists who were training drawing 8 hours every day. After they became " pros " they usually draw less ( 4-6 )
This video was fantastic Proko, thank you so much for this entire series. I admire every single artist in them, and their insights are very helpful and encouraging. I definitely struggled with finding a routine when I first started my business, and I'm still not 100% set on one, but my biggest breakthrough was compartmentalising business, art, and my personal life, and giving all of them a legitimate place in my life. Thank again for all you do Proko.
Love your videos
Love this series!
2 things I do
- in the morning work on whatever inspires me most, just to get started. Usually if you start to think to much you lose momentum.
- yoga every evening to shut my brain off. Not much, usually 10-15 minutes, up to 1 hour if I feel like it.
Working out and staying healthy is so important in a job where burn out is always around the corner because you're so passionate about your work.
#Yoga #Meditation #Drawing #Agnosticism #LucidDreaming #Education #Centrism #DrJoeDispenza #Sadhguru #Gamer4Life #Veganism #NotBeingCaliforniaExodus #NotBeingTheRight #Mudras #JoeRogan #OnlineHealthShop
I’ve been meaning to get into yoga I like your idea of doing it in the evening before bed because I also have a hard time going to bed.
It's interesting you bring up Yoga. They always say a morning Sadhana is the best and the advantage to that is that if you do your yoga in the morning, then no matter what happens that day, your Yoga is done. However, like you, I find it helps me unwind, I prefer the evening. I have basically not been doing any Yoga to speak of because I've been clinging to this idea that I need to do it in the morning. I have to eat first thing or I get nauseous and besides Yoga leaves me a bit too chilled out for the kind of motivation I need to get to work on some scrumptious artwork! Nice to know I'm not the only one.
It's funny how Ron Lemen explains how in the morning it's creativity time, but if you have ADHD like Ross and me, we get way more creative at night and energetic too.
I think his point was he seperates design and rendering by time of day that work best. You design at your most creative and render when least creative.
"once you get more and more successful, you realize the less and less you actually draw."
that is actually very scary to me...
🙁😟😢😭
But the good thing is that when you reach that level, when you do have time to draw, you know what You're doing
more success means more money which gives more freedom and time to draw
i started a visual creative business many years ago and this is exactly what happens, unfortunately i couldnt afford to hire a handful of staff to handle the non creative tasks and i eventually reached the point where i was having barely any energy left for the main ingredient of what i had set out to achieve in the first place
I don't think that's a bad thing. If you were drawing 24x7, you'd burn out pretty quick. If you think about it, with more success and less time for art, you might actually start looking forward to drawing more than ever, and that could be a good recipe to make some awesome stuff.
Summary:
Daily Routine:
- Routine goes more in the interest of what you want to do, if you want to tell stories through art, you want to get out there and live out there too in life, inspiration is the fuel for a creative outlet, if you watch movies or do something you could use this in your positive advantage, try to just draw a lot, be involved in the entertainment industry, know what's going on
- Find time to draw wherever you can
- Productivity time and creative time are the two different things, in the morning be creative for what you want to do for the rest of the day without distractions, then distract yourself with something and then be productive into making it, you could then be creative about it (I think because the ideas float in your head part of the day), go fail on a daily basis so you recognize how to solve it in a professional matter, learn how to break your day down to know when it's creative time and production time, build on basic exercises first (shapes, lines, etc), then work on your weaknesses (list it), learn it, do it, etc, problem solve it for the day and then wind down the rest of the day when shading a picture, be responsive, practice every day
- many people have their own daily routine, find yours, find one that works best, just be professional in everything you do, get involved in everything around it
- find the time to draw
- wake up early to do things and then draw, again, be active in achieving the things you want to do in life
- solve one problem after the other, if you can't solve the problem do something else - this dude mountain bikes, so, don't stand with you two feet locked, find a natural rhythm, work until you can't work anymore and then relax, it comes down to finding your rhythm, whatever it is really
- your routine could take time to work on, it seems that mixing things up helps
- it seems that many people wake up early, draw a bit in the morning, do something, draw for a couple hours
- do some doodling, sketching, warmup sketch, and then start doing the real drawing
- wake up, check emails, do some work, then do a drawing, work in periods of 3 hours then do something else and draw again
- do studies just to warm up
- have a set of hours to have a life outside of art, that way art doesn't become work, it stays fun, something to look forward to
- wake up 5 a clock, meditate, cold shower, paint, draw, to the night and restart
- wake up, drink coffee, try to solve something qua drawing, get motivated by something, like a video, and then draw
Should pin this
Awesome! Thank you
Looking for answers and inspiration...Realizes time is wasted not drawing and watching youtube lol.
It aint time wasted if you learn something.
Man, peter han's advice struck with me well. From feeling guilty for not drawing when I'm doing something else which only leads into putting off the drawing because of the guilty and obligatory associations I've been relating with it, instead of the fun I've always had in the past.
Would be great to have that itch to draw each day because I love it I I've had in the past instead of feeling bad about the whole endeavor. >.
One thing I have been working on doing lately is to draw/sketch daily. When comes to brainstorming what to draw, I assign certain subject like human, animals, or plants etc to study for each day of the week. If I am still stumped then I pick letter of the alphabet and think of the first like say animal that comes to mind that starts with that letter. Once you start drawing you get inspired to do more.
That's a good idea! My sketchbook is the 642 Things to Draw book. It's basically a book that has lists of every day objects to draw. It's very helpful because I need structure when I draw
hey, that's a really fun idea with the alphabet! Imma start doing that whenever I'm at a loss of what to draw.
Love the alphabet idea
I've got the failing everyday down pretty good. So that's a positive
I haven’t even finished this video yet and I’m in deep gratitude. Thank you for this
WHY ? THESE WERE NOT HELPFUL
@@latrolettteeeeeee really depends on what your personal strengths and weaknesses are. Something that feels unnecessary or obvious to you might be just what another needs to hear to reflect and improve
0:12 Holy shit, the internet wasn't ready for this level of woke.
Opening up strong, proko knows!
🔥🔥🔥
"my daily routine changes day to day"... Hmmm.. that's not a routine lol
Man Marshall Vandruff as always so calm and patience he is great explaining things
I'm very impressed with his part.
I think the best part of this is that it shows that people do what works for them. That was one of the hardest lessons I've had to figure out, and I've been a professional for 13 years.
Just keep on learning/trying. That's my daily routine. :D
1) Start Making It
2) Have a breakdown
3) done
Loved the diversity of advice! I particularly enjoyed listening to Marshall Vandruff’s advice where he mentioned rhythm in walking and its parallels in drawing. Really interesting. Caleb Cleveland’s advice was essentially to give advice which was also so pleasant to hear.
Oh yeah, things I would change in my daily routine... Start with a warm-up, make time for drawings/paintings, take breaks when needed, and get enough sleep while I can :,)
I'm seeing a pattern of waking up early.
It was really cool to hear from these artist there habits also nice that you got such a wide variety. There is alot to take away from this :)! Nice video
Thank you for this. As someone with multiple creative interests, Peter Han's routine definitely spoke to me the most. Learning to not feel guilty about not getting any work done sounds like a great step for me and is something I never really considered before.
What is your other multitude of creative interests?
This video may have saved my very identity as an artist. I was feeling so stuck doing pretty much nothing but art in college and feeling guilty if I did anything else, that I started to really hate art. So there was a lot of advice in this video (especially getting out and doing other things) that really I believe is going to help me out :)
8:00 Wake up Neo! XD
8:30 A lot of coffee
9:00 listen to music or watch some videos for inspiration
10:00 let's draw!
13:30 -15:00 I usually go to lunch with a friend ... I talk to him about the job I'm doing, then I get back to work and finish at 18:00
Awesome interviews! The idea of Marshall Vandruff about walking got me and I will use it the rest of my life.
In my daily routine, I want to improve on two big things for me: to start my day with a sketch and to have a limit on working hours (because I tend to overwork and then I have a great difficulty of concentrating for a while).
And all of you resding this: you are awesome! Keep your work flow going and stay healthy!
*THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GIVING THESE INSIGHTS!!!* *Really helpful for people like me >_< I will do my best on my channel!!!!!!!!* 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@zenoisapen put one asterisk at the beginning and one asterisk at the end of your message.
The only thing I don’t like is that some of these artists are sleep deprived...
As a composer I've taken away so much from this video! Balance is the key to success methinks - work hard but also play hard. Thanks for sharing!
I really like that tip where you write down all your artistic weaknesses in a list and try and conquer one of those things a day, I'll have to give that a try.
I know a girl who started a manga at 13 and now at 14 she's like GOD cause she drew everyday a lot of different stuff in a lot of different positions
who is?
@@milavikernes5911 Search for shiruusart on IG
Thank you soooo much for this! If a 13 year old can do this in one year I got 0 excuses.
@@tobias7999 Aww you're welcome. She inspired me too. We need to work hard and give our best and we'll surely archive our objectives
Wow. When she started(I mean she drew her first manga in 13 not actually started to draw, right?)? I wonder how much it takes.
Eleeza is my favourite artist! and one of my biggest inspirations. She's pretty quiet online so it was really nice to see her so chatty here! : )
"Until six... and then I have kids..." GODDAMN HE MAKES KIDS EVERYDAY
Having that relationship with your work to be both creative and productive in balance is difficult. At one point I put my all into just work and quickly burnt out any passion I've had for it in college. I focused HARD on getting better, failing so much though and almost punishing myself by not really enjoying anything cuz I wasn't good enough yet. This is also right around covid so there was nothing else to do outside of work it felt like. I wonder how the daily routine changed for people. Now that I graduated, I try to keep all those things in mind, how the world will always continue to influence our life and energy. But creating art will always be where its at.
All these pros that say they're still working in the small hours... I'm practically brain dead by 11pm every night!
The guy who outlined a successful professional artists time balance gave away a gold nugget. Figure out how to be productive and creative and control that flow day in and day out and you've got it.
I feel like you could've rephrased the question better. Most of these artists just talked about their literal daily routines. Was more interested in learning their daily drawing practice regiment, as opposed to when they decided to have their morning coffee. The way you asked the question to Marshall was better than the other approaches you took. Great video nonetheless, love the content.
self confidence was my biggest problem. if RUclips was around 35 years ago, when i first started oils and pastels with no teacher did not help me. RUclips helped me so much. 65 years old and learning so much. thank you proko for being such a good teacher as well.
Tip for everyone, including the guys in the video - add training to your routine. Inmesurable benefits for the overall quality of life. Dont wake up at 40 "successful" but also in all sorts of pains and with a anxious mind. Lift, jump, punch, move. Frank Frazetta said once that he didn't feel as an artist, first of all he felt as an athlete and that's the right attitude!
Question; what do you mean by "training"?
I'm 15, currently in freshman year fo high school. I have always loved art since when i was a child. I practice every day after i study for my school subjects. I can't call myself and "artist" yet. Because i'm still learning and i can't really say that I'm creative enough. I draw in my head but i can't take it to the paper. I didn't go to art school. I learned by myself, by watching videos or waching other artist how they draw. I've always thought that i don't have much free time because of my school but I realized that i have free time. Although i have time i don't feel like to draw. I feel like I can't do anything. I don't know how to use my imagination.
Just wanted to let this out.
Loving these Asking Pros series of videos
Also, congrats for 1 MILLION DUDE!
"So what do you focus on during the day"
"brushing my teeth and waking up..."
that’s how devoted to your routine you have to be. this man was finna explain everything 😂
Ohh lol Ross XD Story of my life. Doing stuff before I even wake up. That's a dream
Not a beginner but definifty a young artist who has a lot to learn, these videos are SUPER helpful!
Your demos are very much helpful to improve my way of drawing and painting. Thanks .. anilkumar..Bombay india
I am going to put in more hours of drawing. With a day job, it sometimes is tough to manage. But I'll definitely put in more effort. Thanks Proko. :)
I sacrifice about 1 hour of drawing time everyday to exercise because I found out that productivity is more about focus and energy instead of how much time you sit and draw. And yeah exercising really improve your physical energy and brain to focus
Where. the. HECK. is. sinix?
playing with birds and stuff
Drawing spirals
doing some sculptures with painting (?
And being fucking awesome
Doing ears' animations
my routine:
1. wake up
2. PROCRASTINATE
3. grab my sketchbook
4. PROCRASTINATE
5. realize I've procrastinated the entire day and now its bed time
6. decide to go to sleep and "draw" tomorrow
7. PROCRASTINATE on sleeping
8. repeat.
Routine? Hahahahahahaha.
I have ADHD. Any kinds of routines and I have never been friends. I don't even have alarms because they've never worked for me. Trying to stick to routines and alarms just leads to failure which causes a ton of shame and self-loathing. It's just not me. I like the freedom to get up, eat, sleep and work whenever I want and let things happen. That being said, when I am working I will usually drink a ton of caffeine, watch some artistic RUclips videos to get me in the right mindset and I will almost always draw through the night until morning, like maybe between 7AM-9AM. I work far better being a vampire than forcing myself into the normal people lifestyle and it took me a long time to embrace that and stop shaming myself or thinking I was lazy, irresponsible and incompetent.
Well I’m definitely not going to start taking ice cold showers like Bobby Chiu!!! ❄️
6:26 is the most useful advise ever! The only way to get better is to practice till your hair falls off!
Loved the "walking/mountain biking" tip. That is something I'm going to implement today.
I think I will try the 2-minute warmup every morning. I hope it'll help me get the bare minimum for my daily failures to keep me going. Even though I don't have that much time in my rent-paying effort.
This was a really helpful and insightful video! It's great to hear so many different opinions from successful artists that come from varied walks of life.
For me I think something that would help me is setting some time aside to be more goal oriented in my drawing. Drawing aimlessly is fun and fine, but when you have something you want to focus on improving or a subject you want to get to know better through observational studies, then I find myself feeling better, more productive and my art takes on a different (and better in my opinion) quality.
I have started late in my life, but I like to draw a lot and I want to practice everyday. It takes discipline, a lot of it to sit down and pay atention. I have enthusiasm, a lot of enthusiasm which is important; but most of all Passion for drawing.
This is it. This is what I needed to hear. THANK YOU so much for this series and all the amazing artists in it.
Hola mucho gusto soy Mexicana y ma encantan tus vídeos, gracias por inspirarme.
Great Vid...The theme running through is get up and work almost every day. I've been a professional for 40 years and that routine has never changed.
I really wish I didn’t have a nonart job that is a minimum wage to pay for rent. I struggle to find freelance work- I still don’t know how new people find work. My nonart job sometimes eats up my day. I sadly can’t find a social life since I worry about food on the table. My daily routine- whenever I get the chance
Cool to see a lot of professional artists are juggling the same challenges as someone starting out. I've found that if I can allow for 1-2 hours a day for art I can build momentum but not get burned out
Thank you very much for taking the time to share all these insights. What I take away from it, is that its important to be realistic about our own character and match our daily routines accordingly.
Now, these people are fuckin artists. Each one had their own style and they took time to hone their craft.
I need to take more breaks. I wake up, eat breakfast and draw until I almost fall asleep on my desk. I still have so much to learn so I can never stop practicing. From now on I'll take more breaks so I don't burn out.
Propably get better in transitions. My daily routine goes like this- I wake up, shower, make coffee, draw and then move to my day job.. After that I come home and draw until midnight. But the thing with transitions - I usually start with drawing cca an hour after I come home, because my mind is all over the place from the job. I would like to start drawing as soon as possible after job
i have a similar problem - lot's of 1-minute tasks takes up lot's of time (like writing a 1-minute reply to your comment :D)
@@boriforrai3937 yeah.. :D well with this one it helps me to make 50 minutes blocks of time where I won't do anything else then drawing.. Then take a break and again :D your mind will do anything to jump from that, but it's only about practicing and follow through the struggle :D and allow yourself to do anything in break time
ModernDayJames: "My drawings are stiff-" Dude, where~! Haha~!
Wake up, yoga/sport, meditate, and let's go for study before big project on day
Very useful tips. Thank you
Really enjoyed this! Subscribed! -fellow artist and RUclipsr
Por ejemplo yo ahorita estoy en mi descanso viendo videos que me gustan y este buenísimo video que me recomendó RUclips, pero créanme que me dedico mínimo 8 horas al esculpido, ahorita apenas llevo casi 7 horas, pero terminado este video volveré a seguir practicando para mejorar y tal vez haga 9 o 10 horas. La mejor manera de mejorar, aprender y llegar a ese nivel que tanto quieres, ya sea dibujo, escultura, bailar etc es practicando todo el tiempo que puedas dedicarle y no solo eso también ponte a estudiar muchísimo, RUclips es un excelente Profesor y créeme que cualquier cosa que quieras aprender lo puedes hacer, tienes todo el mundo al alcance de tus manos
kim jung gi is as good as he is because he just draws and doesn't stop he draws all the time drawing is his life
Probably the best thing I could do in my routine is draw more often and when I do it would be another good idea to not be angry with myself when I make mistakes.
this was actually such an insightful video!
Awesome artists, excellent art work, interesting stories about their daily routine...worth listening to. A thoroughly enjoyable video!
It’s simple: the more you practice, the better you get. This goes for everything in life.
@3:15 I thought Gandolf was flipping the middle finger there for a second. I had to laugh.
2 minutes into the video and Peter Han has cured my anxiety, thanks.
Peter Han's sense of articulation and complete understanding of how the process of evolving as an artist astounds me. He's very wise.
You sound like Pewdiepie sometimes. Awesome vid by the way!
Love this Ron Lemen dude. So insightful!
I need something to squeeze in while working 12 hours a day
I feel like I'm addicted to RUclips, a lot of my days start out great!
I would wake up, have breakfast while watching an episode of a series, clean up and do some studies (Currently I'm doing Andrew Loomis's figure drawing book) for around 2 hours.
then I would take a "Break" and watch a couple of youtube videos aiming for around (30 mins) of watch time and suddenly 4 hours pass by.....
Thanks alot proko! 😸😸
This helped me a lot, thanks so much for uploading this type of videos. I'm recently got out of a burnout and I can tell that every advice here is 100% true and applicable. I'm still working on some of them and hope start sharing my work with the community very soon, wish me luck haha.
Based on my experience, my advice would be, BE PATIENCE and apply PERSISTENCE, because we tend to see for the future but is in the present where things happen, don't be stressed if you think or feel that you are getting to nowhere, give time to time and things will be clear. Cheers up!
Just watching this and wondering about the transition between part-time and full time work as an artist. I’ve learned a lot from this video, but none of it really applies when you are working another full time job. I try to make time for artwork every day, but if you factor in a lot of the elements of the daily routine, as well additional full-time work, I end up with 1-2 hours for art every day, which is not nearly enough to transition to a professional level. Thoughts, anyone?
999K.. please make it 1m!! congratulations in advance Proko.. will always support your amazing channel.
So much great advice from so many awesome creators in such a short video. This is great! Still need to work on walking away taking a break tho lol. Thanks Proko, I needed this :)
+1 to drawing on 15min breaks at work. That's an extra 2 1/2hrs a week with the pencil! Been doing it for a while now, usually just working out problems or trying to integrate lessons from the night before.
I have to change the beginning of my day, always losing time on the phone scrolling too much. Meditation or some gestures warm up drawing can be perfect to replace my bad habits. Thanks for the series of videos Stan, really helpful.
I like to blind fold myself and draw something from imagination, I'm good at visual drawing and not very creative so I'm in the process of pushing my self to create rather then visually regurgitate what i see.
That’s such a smart idea, I’ll have to give it a shot
i wanna pet the thing on the thumbnail
THANK YOU, proko You really open my eyes, now i am not going to feel guilty about not doing daily draw but getting happy about making draw most of time and keeping consistency In my work
MORE WORK. That's it.
Doing great Job Proko to understand other Artists...
The perfect day:
-Wake up at 4h32
-Stretch & fast workout
-Shower
-Meditate
-Quick sketch or video Editing
-Get to my day job
-Get back from day job and work on personal project or Editing
-Go to my MMA training
-Chill (Either Video game or Tv shows) or draw some more
-Go to sleep
On the bad day:
- HOLEEEE SHEEET I'M LAAAAAAAaAaaAAAATE !!! What is happening ! XD
The Routine gets interrupted when my friends call me to grab a beer :D
What i see most of them do is thousands of hours Practice, that's awesome that they could do that. I hear moderndayjames' interview that he ever spend 20 hours of practice. That kind of hardwork is frightening me...
Thanks you so much for giving this wonderful video! I learned a lot of artist habits that we should have.. and what do to for relaxation... totally this video is a treasure for those who are struggling to learn art 💖
only recently found eleeza's work and absolutely love it
