    My "trick" to boost confidence in drawing was to start doing "Daily Doodles". Just small pieces, sometimes no more than a wee Gnome (My default subject if I don't know what to draw 😉 ). I'm on day 328 now!

    That sound you hear is us cheering out loud! Most of us on the Blick team are artists ourselves, and we need to hear this message as much as anyone. We think Jess' question, "What is something you've never drawn before?" should be what each of us starts every day asking!

    I've finished my graphic memoir and I'm going to get it published, entitled MOM REMEMBERS ME. I used my health and fitness knowledge to stop my mother with mild dementia from forgetting me, and it worked. I remind caregivers that they should use art to help with their caregiving or to copy any form of art that their caregivee might be doing to challenge you both. Here's to sanity in the world for 2023 and a great new year.

    This year, my goal is to fully focus on CREATING and GROWTH. This is going to be the year where I get into a daily art habit, fill an entire sketchbook, launch my website instead of continuing to procrastinate, and build my RUclips channel up so that it finally starts to generate some income. Enough of putting my energy into things that aren't helping me towards my goals and dreams. Jess, I want to thank you for all of the work you do. You are such an inspiration to so many people and you're one of the most positive people. When I see you get excited about creating art, I also get excited. Every time you upload something new, it inspires me to grab my sketchbook and paint or draw as I watch your videos.
    I can't see where this year takes all of us! 🥰

    The something new I want to try in 2023 is simple 3D sculpture using air dry clay. I've been doing every kind of 2D visual art you can imagine for literally 50 years. The last time I sculpted something was 1979, so I think I'm about due to break out into the third dimension!!
    Thanks for your inspiring video. You're the best.

    Thank you so much, Jess! I needed this message today. I’m an art hobbyist and usually only do pieces for myself. A coworker asked if I would paint a big piece for his house. I am intimidated for sure! My first reaction was, “Me? But I’m just a beginner.” And then I thought, this is a perfect way to grow. Challenge accepted! You continue to inspire me. I commit to showing up. Let’s go!

    Hullo Jess, I just wanted to say to you and anyone else reading this you have nailed a process and following your roadmap can and will lead you to success! Stay with it and simply never stop! I remember when I was rather forced into digital art because no one would hire someone who did not have computer skills! I thought my life with traditional art was over and I was very resentful. I have since come back to traditional art and creating watercolors was my first joy in creation in my life! I worked as a freelance artist for over 35+ years and the true key to sticking with it is showing up every day and doing something. Draw, paint, dance! Just be creative, know you’re being creative and being happy about it. Thank you for sharing your journey with us I look forward to seeing more and enjoying your joy! See ya next video!

    In 2023 I'm learning how to make my own sketchbooks and journals.....for several reasons......
    1. Stop me buying SO MANY trying to find the 'right' one!! Will be much cheaper and more individual for me!
    2. Can make them the 'perfect' size, shape and paper type I like.
    3. Bind together all my loose works on paper ....and know exactly where to find them all again!
    4. Practice a new beautiful, timeless craft that compliments what I do.

    My creative habit or objective for 2023 is finishing every single drawing or painting or sketch that I start. I tend to be so frustrated with the outcome and not trusting the process and I end up leaving everything halfway, and starting something new, hoping it will be better. Not anymore!! Thanks a lot for the video, as always it was super inspiring!!

  • @shwetadube7069
    @shwetadube7069 Год назад +5

    This year, it doesn't matter how much work I have , I'll just show up to my sketchbook and give myself at least 5 minutes to draw whatever comes to my mind , It may be drawing something I've never drawn before. Like you said, it was a great idea to ask someone to tell the first word that comes to their mind and then just draw it.
    You're great Jess. Lots of love💜

    I have started going to art school to learn iconography and i will admit that i was disappointed at the beginning because i could not find this push i needed to confirm me that it was the right move i made in order to learn how to draw. Yesterday i finally found the motivation to continue so i feel it will be a good artistic year. Patience, building confidence, trusting my intuition and my guts regarding painting and drawing are some of the things i need to learn this year.
    Thank you so much for you inpirational videos. I never thought drawing and painting would be my next form of art to study. I was always drawing as a kids and i am self taught up to a certain point. Thanks to you, i am studying to become a fully fledged artist.

    @themightierpencil Год назад +5

    I'm setting monthly challenges for myself this year, that way I can stay motivated by switching up the goal every month instead of burning out trying to keep up with the same goal every single day. For January my challenge is to flip to a random page in my 301 Drawing Prompts book and draw whatever the page lands on. The next day I do the same thing, but I use that prompt to add on to the previous prompt. At the end of each week I should have a full sketchbook spread completed. I've finished two weeks and two spreads so far. I did the same thing last year and it really helped me stick to a daily drawing practice, plus I get to draw things I never would've come up with on my own. In February I'll do a 100 Somethings challenge, and so on and so forth. Thank you for all of your tips and motivation, Jess. And the kid and Mr. Dino thank you too LOL

    For me i would say a creative habit I would like to do more of is to get myself out there & post my art. Up until Somewhat recently, i had a Perfectionist mindset which was impacting my art career in a negative way to the point i've stopped drawing. That's when I realized I should use Failure as a motivator to improve my skills & it's ok if my art isn't perfect. Ever since then, i've started to Draw again & i will never quit ever again because I CAN DO THIS just like anyone. I have a new Mindset & enjoy making art becasue there is someone who adores your work no matter your skill level.

For me, my friend who also is an artist told me to bring my sketchbook & went to the Mall. he told me to draw anything i want but i can't stop until the drawing was done. People at the mall started approaching us & for some reason when i was drawing, the perfectionist mindset was gone because i was being asked questions or getting complimented on for a drawing.

    How crazy ironic is it that today is the very first day that I found your channel? This is the second video that I am seeing and it is exactly what I needed to hear!
    From this day forward, in 2023 I intend to 'show up'. I shall begin each day with my sketchbook. And then.....I intend to begin to go back and finish all of the many beautiful sketches that I have made during the course of this past year. Myself, I have no excuse for not having the time. I am retired and have all the time in the world. Painting and sketching are something I returned to when I became severely disabled after two spinal fusions gone wrong. Art was the only thing that seemed to bring me relief from my constant pain. As of late, I seemed to have fallen into a bit of a rut and seeing this video is exactly what I needed to hear!
    Thank you ever so much Jess. Your positive outlook and energy are phenomenal. Today is the beginning of my new 2023.
    I hear my sketchbook calling out to me and there is a little squirrel just waiting to be sketched. And after that, I fully intend to return to my artwork and my plans to produce beautiful unique watercolor cards for all occasions. I also have several requests for commissions that I have in different stages of completion and my constant desire for perfection has kept me from bringing them to their final stage. I intend to put that unrealistic ideal on the back shelf where it belongs.
    Again, thank you. Your message couldn't have come at a more perfect time for me. It came through loud and clear and truly touched my heart. I am looking forward to a wonderful 2023 and also looking at your Patreon membership options to see which would be the best fit for me. 👩‍🦳🖌️

    I have 2 goals!
    1) have patience. I’m starting to realize that everything in life is a lifelong journey. Becoming skilled at art, being kind, being a doctor, living life! Every thing requires me to continue learning and practicing for the rest of my life and that helps me be more patient with the idea of where I need to be or how much work I need to put in everyday to “get to where I want to be”. It takes off the pressure and helps me to stay consistent/disciplined to actually just practice (which will help me develop my skill)
    2) FINISH THINGS!! I have so many projects that I’ve started but never finished because of fear. Whether that be fear of failure or fear of success I’m not sure. But regardless I want to drop that fear and actually finish projects. I’m tired of showing people sketches and prototypes when they ask for examples of my work.
    2023 will be great for all of us!! I’m rooting for you and me! ❤

    2023 is my year of Freedom! My entire life I have wanted to draw and develop the creativity that's always been right beneath the surface. Unfortunately, I've allowed my anxiety and fear of failure to keep me from doing this all these years. This year I'm breaking free, and will be embracing the creativity that has always begged for space in my life. I will also be embracing imperfections, instead of not trying due to the fear that it won't be perfect. Failure isn't creating something that isn't perfect. Failure is never trying at all. Life is too short. I've allowed so much of my life to pass me by without having the courage to live my truth out of the fear of failure and imperfection. Thanks for this video Jess, it's yet another form of inspiration that is helping me as I take these steps towards what I love.🥰

My goal is to do something creative everyday, just because I can. I love the 100 times idea. And the "secret sketchbook" , not that i share them anywhere, but knowing it is specifically for me means there is no pressure at all. Which watercolor sketchbook do you recommend?

    Patience has definitely become a learning curve! I learnt that recently on a project I’ve been working on for the last few months; I’ve been wanting to illustrate on the pages in my favourite book series but I knew that I didn’t want to dive straight in onto the page. I’ve been sketching in sketchbooks, playing around with thumbnails and other poses. It’ll take time before I get everything I want to draw into the books, but patience has been a virtue because I’ve learnt so much in the process and expanded upon the idea.

    Thanks for the inspiration Jess! I loved this video! One creative habit for me this year is to be more consistent in being creative - whether it’s writing, drawing or painting. I want to do something (even if it’s small) everything single day. 😊 Less scrolling, more creating.

    In 2023 I would like to draw regularly and eventually maybe without fear outside, in the field and also in public, that is, where people might observe and approach me when I try to draw. I always put this off until now because I think I still have to get much better before anyone is allowed to see it and I'm not afraid of embarrassing myself.

    Hey Jess, I probably watched this video before on my personal channel, but needed this reminder. 1. I would like to start putting in daily sketchbook and journaling time, like I used to do for writing, and feel a connection with my artist self. 2. I want an art practice of various forms and subjects that I enjoy to be my primary source of income, fully self-employed with a home studio and travel pack, so that I throw off the covers every morning, beyond eager to dive into it. Thanks. 💖

    My creative habit that I've been doing for a while is painting without a sketch, especially if it's been a while since I did a finished piece. I feel like it gives me freedom to play and to do something that may or may not work. For 2023 I would like to take a watercolor painting class because I want to meet other artists and that will mean that I'll have more folks to talk to about my art. Thanks for asking Jess!

    Also, if you have an opportunity to do so, take care of you mental health. I didn’t realize that the reason why I was so all over the place, depressed, inconsistent and an emotional bomb was because untreated ADHD, social anxiety and dyslexia. Getting to know that information about myself was incredibly healing and helpful. It was very interesting to realize that I have been forcing my brain to behave in a way that didn’t work just because I wanted to fit in. Anyway, I just wanted to share that because sometimes we get caught up in how can we be better without realizing that our mental health has not been taken care of.
    Love the video, Jess, amazing as always. Happy 2023! Much love ❤

    Hi Jess! A creative habit I got into in 2022 is keeping a sketchbook and drawing or painting in it every day, and you actually inspired me to do that! A year ago I discovered your channel and I watched one of your videos about ideas for filling up a sketchbook, and I was instantly inspired. A year later and I’ve filled up four sketchbooks and counting! I want to keep it up this year. 😊

    I want to take the plunge and start a RUclips channel as well as continue to keep a daily sketchbook. I moved abroad, to a country where I can hardly even speak the language, and I literally started carrying my sketchbook everywhere with me. It has helped me 1 feel comfortable 2 document my time here and 3 unknowingly create this daily urge to want to draw something. I have two sketchbooks now that I work in daily - One "ugly sketchbook" where I thumbnail and brainstorm all my ideas as well as take notes when I am studying other artists videos and work like this video so I can look back through when I don't know what to draw in my "pretty" travel sketchbook. The first one I feel free to doodle and do whatever I want where the second I am more inclined to do finish work in. This has really freed up my creativity and also driven me to want to create more daily. I just want to keep up the habit. NOW to find the courage to dive in and start that RUclips channel finally.
    Thanks for making such inspiring videos and sharing your art journey with us Jess! I hope I can make videos that reach people one day as well. Maybe today is that day. :)

    Beautiful video Jess! One habit I started at the end of last year was staring my day dancing at least a song as a warm up, then doing stretches before I start painting or working. The other habit I want to incorporate is meditation, I'm trying different forms and testing some watercolor meditation over just lying still. And I'm considering mixing it up. Until I find a way to relax, remove tension and slow down.

    Jess, thank you so much for making this video. I am currently in my second semester of art school and have been really struggling with depression, motivation and inspiration to create, especially for assignments that are not up my alley AT ALL. I've been questioning if I'm even meant to do this. I really hope I can start to implement some of these ideas into my daily life and get my spark back. Your videos always bring tears to my eyes because of your passion and positive attitude in art making, and I just appreciate you trying to spread that and encourage others. You truly are a light and an inspiration and I'm very thankful that I found your channel last year.

    Hi Jess - thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge in arts. I have started sketching since last year. We had really bad family tragedy during this covid and to get over that sadness I started scribbling some basic sketch and then decided to continue with sketching. Found an online class but you inspire me the most. I am a 63 year old lady. Last I had sketch when I was in 7th grade. 😅😅
    My most favorite thing to do is to create something. Doesn’t matter if it’s sketching, knitting/crocheting or cooking/baking interesting food. To create something gives me great pleasure.
    My 2023 goal is to sketch or paint from human photograph. Hope you can guide me. I want to be really good at sketching/painting my friends/family members.
    Thank you so much. ❤❤

It helped me stop comparing myself to other artists, and now that I look at their work, I’m overwhelmed by ideas! BEST FEELING EVER 🎉

    My goal for 2023 is to really get to work on the big project(s) that have been my long-term goal four at least 4 years. I keep going back and scrapping the idea, starting over, second guessing, and rewriting, redrawing, redoing everything, and I haven't made any progress, really.
    So, once this semester is over (art student at ASU Herberger), I'm going to dig in.
    I'd like to implement something smaller as well, like drawing every day in a simple sketchbook for 30 minutes or so.
