Wake-up Your Inner Artist: Creating the Habits for Drawing Everyday
Offered By: Skillshare
Course Description
Overview
Do you want to get back into drawing? Better, would you like to find the motivation to sketch everyday? In this class, I will guide you in setting up the right habits to get back to your pencils.
Hi, I’m Simon. I’m a content creator and digital illustrator. I also work full-time in corporate communications and I love it.
Drawing is my first love. I remember doodling for hours every day as a child with the rage to master perspective, proportions, shading etc. Then life got in the way, it got busier and I started neglecting my creative side. Sounds familiar?
I’ve heard this story from many friends who are all leading busy lives as professionals and/or as parents of young children. That’s why I’ve created this class.
In this fun and inspiring class, I will share with you my personal story tips on how to get out of a creative rut that lasted a few years in my case.
Who is this class for?
- Anyone who leads busy lives and can set 5 min every day to draw
What material do I need to get started?
I’m a firm believer in using tools that both inspire you and fit within your budget. In this class, you can use any art medium you are comfortable with, including:
- Traditional art media (i.e. pencil, watercolour, gouache etc.)
- Digital art media (i.e. photography, photoshop, illustrator, procreate etc.)
In addition, you will learn from concrete examples of my own personal journey and how I was able to launch my 100 days of happiness project online. This class is a great initial step towards awakening your inner artist and falling in love with drawing all over again.
What can I expect from this class?
In this class, we will set the right foundations to get you to:
- Re-discover your creative side
- Make drawing part of your daily routine
- Gain confidence as an artist
By the end, you will have completed a 3-step project that consists of:
- Finding inspiration
- Getting started
- Being accountable
These engaging projects will help you to explore your creative style and develop a habit of drawing everyday.
