Week Forty-Seven There are just over six weeks left in this year. Can you believe it? I’m in the process of planning Making Art Everyday for 2020 (!!!), and I think you’re going to love it. That being said, now is the perfect time to start establishing (or reestablishing!) your habit, so keeping up with…
Make a Value Study in Procreate Value is the lightness or darkness of colors. It’s one of the most important visual principles as it literally communicates light. Without it, we’d be looking at nothing! Just imagine a polar bear in a snowstorm and you’ll get what I mean. Value communicates shape, texture, depth, where the…
Week Forty-Six “Is this copying?” It’s a question all developing artists have asked themselves at some point. When you pique interest in some form of creative art, it’s undoubtedly because, at some point, you felt inspired by the work of someone else. You see these outstanding creations, but you don’t yet know how to make…
Add Your Heading Text Here Inspiration and influences are everywhere. We’re influenced in countless ways, many of which we don’t even notice.

Week Fourty-Four I’ll be honest. I’ve been feeling a little lost lately. Things are going on in my life recently that is making it hard to produce work, let alone do anything fun and creative. I’m so tired. I’ve been home a LOT lately, rarely going out and participating in the things that make life…
Week Forty-Three “If you get tired, learn to rest, not to quit.” Happy Sunday all! It’s been a looooong week for me and I’m feeling pretty tapped out creatively. So I’m giving myself a pass this week and not forcing myself to write when I don’t have the energy. STILL, I can’t help but leave…
Week Forty-Two We are entering the final 10 weeks of the year! Can you believe it? I remember when I started this project in January, how far away even just the double-digit weeks seemed! It’s crazy what you can accomplish when you are passionate, committed, and pushing yourself. I’m very proud of myself for keeping…
Week Forty-One “Destroy the idea that you gotta be good at artistic things to enjoy them, that every hobby has to become something you’re so good at, you can monetize it. A capitalist lie. Sing offkey, draw poorly, write badly. Life is meant to be enjoyed, not monetized. You’re not a product.” The tweet above by @bookavid…
