With many things you set out to do, the hardest part is getting started. After you’ve taken a break in the middle of a project, sometimes it can feel like you’re back at the start, trying to muster up the motivation to begin. For me, it helps to start with something small and fun. Choosing a part of the process you really enjoy might be enough to have you diving back in.
If you find yourself needing to take a break from making art every day, first of all…don’t feel bad! We all need a rest or a change sometimes.
When you’re ready to begin again, go through the prompts you missed and pick one that seems fun to you. Or draw your own idea! This might be something you’ve drawn in the past that you really enjoyed or something you’ve been itching to draw!
If you make art with physical media, give yourself a bit of time to break out the paints and pencils and simply make some marks on paper. It can be very creatively invigorating! I did this the other day, and it was so fun! And with this month’s prompts, it might be an excellent chance to bust out the ol’ paper and pencil!
