HOLY MACARONI you bump out so much art its incredible!! how do u stay motivated???

Honestly, I don't!

A few years back, I started this thing called Sketch Page a Day where I tried to make myself draw at least 1 small page of art every day regardless of how i was feeling or the quality of the art. Sometimes it was finished pieces i was proud of, sometimes it was shitty doodles that i threw up on the canvas cuz my brain was Empty. Didnt matter as long as i filled a page. I still didnt draw every day, but it did make me more consistent and keep me from stopping for months at a time like before.

Flashforward to now, i dont actively try to follow the Sketch Page a Day thing like i used to, but im so used to drawing lik every day that it doesnt rly matter lol. Im just so used to doing it that motivation has nothin to do with it.

HOWEVER i am particularly motivated right now! I was in a bit of an art block mentally, so i downloaded some new brushes on firealpaca to try out. I tried the scratchy brush and my brain EXPLODED painting with it sjdkkdk. That lead to my current fixation on making things to be turned into physical objects, which is why im so motivated rn. So ig if ur not feelin motivated tey smth new to see if that sparks anything, and if u feel the spark grab that mf and see where it leads u! If that doesnt work, just try to do a little every day to keep the juices flowin, ya never kno when youll draw something that makes inspiration/motivation strike >:]

#to this day every year i make a new folder called Sketch Page a Day Year Blank where all my art for that year goes #everything is labeled by date #i went from lik 70 pages the first year i did it to around 200 last year #i couldnt tell ya why but it did the trick for me #asks #sorry this is all so long oops FJKDKEK
