RE: Fighting Art block With Spring Cleaning

in #art8 years ago

Adorable astro signs! I always fight with messy and try to organize my chaos at least once a week. Maybe as artists we get tunnel vision on our art and then things around us get in dissaray, but I have learned that the romantic idea of the artist in a messy pile is fine for film but in practice, makes things harder, so I live with my mess for a few days then do a good sort/toss/file and move on, otherwise, I can't stay focused on my art, if that makes any sense?

And I am of the 'just start drawing/doodling' school for art block. I made a daily art habit a few years back and because of that I notice very little art block now, I think when we train our patterns of life to a thing, like i have to draw something each day, it becomes more second nature.

Good luck and I love your little guys. :) (I found you on Steemsugars by the way, I need to spend more time on there)

Thank you for sharing! Yeah the drawing daily habit is extremely useful and I check out your school :D
I can draw for fun anytime now, but my work suffers the most as it has to be of a certain quality and have to learn new things all the time.
The mess problem certainly starts with being too focused on something else haha, but sometimes/often it gets out of hand. I do agree that the romantized version of artists room is one of the problems. As we develop our habits young and we do what we see :)
Now the challenge is to keepthings clean and to see the effect :D
