this week's video! it's another draw with me :•)
Added 2020-05-21 22:21:17 +0000 UTChey y'all! here's this week's video~ I'm hoping it'll go live tomorrow, but again, I gotta wait for Squarespace to approve it before I can put it up. It's a very casual draw with me, a little less polished than my previous ones, which I think works in my favor, honestly — I feel like casual videos are easier for me to film cause they're less like "i'm spending forever setting up this filming space so god let's hope this goes well" and instead like "join me as i fumble around in my sketchbook" which is very freeing :D
i hope you enjoy! i love you! xxx

2020-05-24 20:02:06 +0000 UTCThis video really resonated with me and I’m so glad that this was my first introduction to your patreon content. I have been struggle with insecurity and imposter syndrome myself. Knowing that other artists are experiencing it (while not so much comforting) helps me feel less “broken” I suppose. One thing I saw Rebecca Green mention is that when she wants to stylize someone or something she will draw from reference and then reference her reference. And then reference THAT reference until it looks how she wants it too. I tried that last Sunday for a drawing date over FaceTime and I was so happy with the outcome. For the first time in months I’d had fun making art instead of questioning if it “looked right.” I share that because I think you mentioned liking her work. Maybe her technique would work for you too :)

2020-05-23 06:25:55 +0000 UTCI totally feel you on the insecurity when it comes to making bad art. That has long since been an insecurity of mine too that I’m learning to be more at peace with? For me, breaking the cycle includes a lot of reflection. Sometimes I take a look at my old artwork and when I look at what I made - both things that I did and did not like - I start to feel more comfortable trying new things. Trying new things was what helped push me forward as an Illustrator and helped me expand my creativity. Redrawing old artwork and visualizing change has been helpful for me too, and I see you’re already doing that! :-) Sometimes I redraw artwork - even right after making it, its never too soon. Having a sketchbook strictly for yourself is important, a sketchbook that you don’t share with patrons or others, unless you decide to. Giving yourself the space to experiment and make mistakes without others seeing them can be very freeing.
