Tuesday Tips - Stay Inspired, no matter what inspires you. More of a general tip this week. Any reason to draw, paint, or create is a good one. For some artists, myself included, waiting for inspiration can mean “not creating art”. I’m always at my best when I just let any idea move freely, without judgement. If I wait too long to start on something, it just won’t happen. The simple act of putting something down on paper, no matter what, always triggers the good part of your brain that doesn’t over-analyzes and judges your tastes. I sometimes feel conflicted about sharing certain things I enjoy that are not “high-art” or acclaimed movies. What I’m trying to say is, don’t be shy about what you like drawing or creating. Just do it. People will be attracted to your passion for it because it will show through your work. In this instance, I’ve been patiently awaiting the release of the video game “Witcher 3″. Mind you, I’ve never played the first 2, but I feel compelled to get this one. So, feeling inspired, I just started to sketch some stuff based on the trailer and gameplay videos that were released. So, whatever rocks your boat, use it to push yourself forward artistically. No matter what happens, you’ll be having fun doing it, and that fun will shine through and connect with others. Who else will be playing this game when it comes out? I am. -n
