Creating a Drawing Habit

 

Part 1: Inspiration

Artist: Paula Milanez ( https://www.instagram.com/iampmilanez/  )

She's an artist I follow on instagram who posts both digital and traditional art. I like the style, gestures and anatomy of the characters that she creates. Some of her posts are sketchbook tours, studio vlogs, studies and others. She also has a YT channel.

 

Part 2: Get Started

Hello! My name is Vanessa and I'm from Brazil. For my project I would like to draw every day for 5 days. I want to start with a small goal and gradually increase it over time. I'm going to use Nina Cosford's sketchbook ( https://www.instagram.com/ninacosfordsketchbook/), watercolor pencils and different pens.

Part 3: Be Responsible

Message to a friend: Hey! I'm currently taking a course on Skillshare by an artist called Simon Ip. In this course he proposes that we commit ourselves to our art and share our goal with someone. I chose you! My goal is to draw every day for 5 days after my study and work schedule. If you agree, I would like to send you the illustrations too. What do you think?

To get inspired, I used the first suggestions of drawings on the May Inspo list ( https://www.instagram.com/p/Cramlf-yS7V/ ) by Lydia Ellen ( https://www.instagram.com/lydiaellendesign/ ) .
