Mood: Fortunate
Music: random nintendo/disney/movies/ect ect soundtracks
stolen from hyalbexira because is so f*cking true^^ (and just to post something )
1. Make lists. http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2570516/ (and some other secret notes about secret gifts or other stuff i wanted to have done)
2. Carry a notebook everywhere.
3. Try free writing. (i started a few little and still unfinished comic scripts)
4. Get away from the computer. (but..i mostly work there :/)
5. Quit beating yourself up. ( his is my biggest bad habit i have...but i don't know how to stop it)
6. Take breaks. (yes i should,but my guilty conscience forbid it..)
7. Sing in the shower. (nah,this is too embarrassing,my neighbors would hear me and laugh <<
8. Drink coffee. (always^^)
9. Listen to new music. (mostly)
10. Be open. (i am i think... iŽm interested in many styles an genres of art, dunno why iŽ m still so uninventive...)
11. Surround yourself with creative people. (i would,but i don't have anyone)
12. Get feedback. (i read every comment, even i donŽ t reply,every help is very welcome^^)
13. Collaborate. (hard if you haven t not much other artist around you...and working with a tablet is still to unhandy for me to work on line/use paint-chats...)
14. Don't give up. (no matter how odd/crappy/down/whatever i am,nothing could ever stop me)
15. Practice, practice, practice. (i do)/try)
16. Allow yourself to make mistakes. (i try, but ist hard to let me..)
17. Go somewhere new.
18. Count your blessings. (hard for my too...but maybe i have some...)
19. Get lots of rest. (dunno...)
20. Take risks. (?)
21. Break the rules.
22. Don't force it. (another bad habit of mine...i try but then i think i wil get lazy if i donŽ t kick my fat butt.)
23. Read a page of the dictionary.
24. Create a framework. ( i did it a few times,but i'm not very good at paintings, and i prefer to draw.)
25. Stop trying to be someone else's perfect.(dunno if i do that..maybe a little,but i uset to draw just like i want and what i like. i donŽ t care if i never where popular..drawing have to be fun...if i would want to have cheap/easy attention my gallery where foll of boobs and cocks )
26. Got an idea? Write it down. (i mostly do)
27. Clean your workspace.(well...i try to keep a kind of order,which seems useful to me.i got some deposits for stuff which i have to color,to redraw,to scan,to ink ect,a few note-blocks,a big table for my computer,for my pens,for other tools,for books i need as help etc...and my biiig collection of colorful junk^^t)
28. Have fun. ( as long i don't stuck on my ad habits, i have :3 )
29. Finish something. (this is what i do,if i have no idea to do...maybe i force myself sometimes too much...but mostly if i start until i don't feel like drawing,it starts to making fun :3)
you see,mostly if i stuck on an art-block,its just because i'm to hard to myself...i try to change that soon...hopefully...
gifts/request: rather friends only. trades: closed/currently friends only collabs: closed/currently friends only commissions: closed until i move my flaky ass to finish my current to do list <<
