JUST DO IT!!!

in #artguildph7 years ago (edited)

It has been three days since I last posted here on steemit. And yeah, I am running out of ideas. 😂


I have been looking on a blank piece of paper for a couple days now. And I do not know what to put on it.
I know that many of you have already been on this situation or currently on this situation as well.



I know that you have a lot in mind but just can not find a way to put it on a paper. Maybe you are hesitating. Because you are thinking that it will never turn out the way it is supposed to be. Or maybe you are thinking that you will never be as good as the others or the people that you idolized no matter how hard you try.


Those are the main reasons that stops you from creating something of your own. But you know what? You do not need to be like them. And you will be as good as them just by watching their tutorial videos.

WHAT TO DO?

What you have to do is just do it.

Start something. Because the artists the you are looking up to did not became as great as they are now if they did not start from scratch. They became great because they started something, something that they are not good at and kept on practicing until they became the one of the artist that we are now fantasizing to become. And this just not apply on arts only, it applies on all aspects of life. Like writing, cooking or even on sports.


In times like this, just draw or write something that comes up on your head and then work on that. Or you can also watch or read some inspirational articles or watch a tutorial videos. I am not saying to copy their works. What I am saying is maybe you can get some tips and apply that on to your own creation and creating some of your own.

WHAT I DO?

What I do on these situations is to doodle. Becase you can draw anything on it.


So I started with this character. It is my nephew's pillow and this is the first thing that came up in my head.

Do not hesitate to add anything or erase something that you do not like.

My sketch was not finish yet but I cannot think of anything else and as you can see there is still some blank spaces on the upper part of the page. But I still proceed on to use a pen to darken the lines.


Do not force yourself to draw something because it will just pop up out your.

*Then I proceeded on coloring it.*

*So when coloring a doodle it will be better to use **complimentary colors** for it look better.*

*As you can see I started to add some drawings little by little.*

*I just kept on coloring until I finished the whole page with colored pencils.*

So I applied the new blending technique that I just learned using a baby oil. I also made a post about this. Just click this link if you are interested on it. This is a great way of blending the colors cause it also make the colors more vibrant.

*Use a white gel pen to clean up.*
