How to Draw Environments For the month of November, we are focusing on drawing environments with the Making Art Everyday challenge! Environments in illustration are the backgrounds of the scene you are creating. When you are learning to draw, it’s easy to fall into the comfort zone of drawing a subject on an empty background….
Week Forty-Five I just want to say thank you to those of you who wrote me sweet messages of encouragement last week. The things you say really do give me the motivation to keep going with all of this. You help me not to give up! This past week my husband and I made a…
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!

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…

Week Thirty-Nine Trapped ideas die. When you get an idea, write it down! When I started my first Art Everyday project back in 2016, the beginning was difficult, mostly because half the struggle was coming up with something to draw! Even inspiration was hard to find. After a couple of months, an interesting thing happened….
Week Thirty-Eight UNITED WE GEEK. There is massive value in finding your people that are nerdy in the same ways you are. And I say “nerd” in the very best way possible because to me, nerds and geeks are simply VERY passionate people. These are people who’ve found something they love SO much they want to…
