131: It's NEVER too late...
Cut the BS and get drawing!!!
Big Week Incoming…
Apologies for being a bit absent the past 10 days. I was in NYC for 8 full days, drawing live at NYCC and doing some work for VeeFriends. I’m building out my own little comics team there, so it’s been my hyper focus the past little while…
To make up for my absence, I’m going live a BUNCH this week on Youtube…
Tonight 7pm ET, LIVE ON YOUTUBE:

This week’s message… It’s NEVER TOO LATE!
I hear it all the time… the idea that you’re too old. Or you missed the boat somehow, or now it’s getting late in the year and you’ve wasted it…. stop with all that BS.
Especially with Promptober or the other Drawing Challenges. You think you missed a day. Or you missed starting and now what’s the point???
Stop putting so much pressure on yourself and just DRAW.
Here is a step by step way to get going…
Pick up a pencil and paper (or whatever you work with)
Read one of the prompts.
Sketch out the first thing you think of.
That’s it! Stop overthinking it. It can even be MINUTES, not hours.
Too many artists I’ve heard were thinking they could turn their entire month into a nice sketchbook, amazing portfolio, or some other BS…. stop it.
Your overthinking is killing your creative spirit. In fact, I believe this is just your “shadow self” trying to resist you doing anything GREAT for yourself.
And drawing every day, even small or fast… it’s going to make you feel better AND get better at drawing even.
Anyways… pick up a pencil and draw with us.
If you want to get inspired, join one of those livestreams and see how I’m going to try tackling as many prompts as I can in just a few days. Believe me, it’s not as hard as you think… and it’s worth it to at least TRY.
SEE YOU SOON!!!
