RE: Fighting Art block With Spring Cleaning
Thank you for the compliment and for sharing your experience! I didn't realize before that mess affects me and this is quite s new realization.
For me the thing is that my art block comes slowly, I don't notice it at first because I keep pushing and trying. And if I have instructions I can draw, but making something completely new is always hard. :)
Have you tried organizing your work schedule with a Bullet Journal? I've been trying out the method for 1.5 years and I think it have helped me a lot. I find it easier to divide tasks in tiny steps and it works with illustration too, you can make a section for ideas and then you can divide them into:
Loooooong ago I made a post about it. and I've recently made another one explaining how to create an organized monthly spread (it is in spanish but google translate will help if you are into it). Here's the old one. I hope it helps you :3
Thank you so much for sharing your method, @opheliapoe.
Thank you for sharing! :D
I have been using journals but it's not nearly as cute as yours ^^ and I'm sure I'll find something new to add to mine from your post.
I'm working on my first game so it's not easy to plan things, but the journal most definitely helps! I need to start adding timelines maybe, as I only write down ideas without specific limits :D
@enternamehere, thank you so much for showing up interest in this method. I'm glad you like it! Please show me some pictures if you make your own journal <3
@kristyglas I'm glad this can be useful for you. I know how stressful can be to have lots of projects and deadlines so I can assure you: this helps, A LOT. I'm sure you can create a really gorgeous journal and I'd love to see some pictures if you make one. I've been recently catching up with organizing and setting goals so I'll probably post more about the tools which help me to manage my responsabilities as a freelancer. If you are into it you can take a look on my blog now and then just remember that if you need the content on english I can make a space on the week for translated content. I stopped posting frequently on english since I only had spanish comments, but please let me know if you are interested :3
What's your game about? are you designing the characters? I'd love to see about it too <3
Hey, if you can post on english it would be awesome!! :D I can use google translate otherwise, it works great lately.
The game is a pixelart platformer ^^ I do all of the visuals, so backgrounds, characters, animation, interfaces and so on :) So keeping track of everything would be impossible for me without a journal :D For the next project I'll try to do a better journal for sure xD right now it's not really fun to look at, but it's practical.
Do you have discord to see more? ^-^
I've been thinking about scheduling a day in the week for posting in english the previous article I've posted on spanish. What do you think about it? That wouldn't be the case with the videos for illustration process since they are kind of shorter and I post them in both languages at once. Please let me know your opinion :3
I'd absolutely like to see the visual works you are creating for the videogame! Sounds quite exciting. A friend of mine is working on a videogame too and soon he'll move abroads to Argentina so he can study videogame development in a proper way.
I do have a discord! OpheliaPoe ʚ♡ɞ#3320 Please add me so we can chat and share stuff 💜
Hey sorry for late reply :D I added you on discord. We have been crazy busy, but at least there is more to show ^-^
Also posts on English are definitely easier to read, thank you :D
