Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday! Feeling stuck or uninspired? It happens to all of us. In this Draw Tip Tuesday, I show you how I shake off the pressure and get back into the flow: by playing! Using a fun photo as a reference (thank you @housecatillustrationTekenuurtje), I grab some colorful tempera paint sticks and colored pencils and simply start drawing. Is it a sloppy drawing and will it turn out wonky? Absolutely, thank you very much! In this video, I talk about how perfection can block your creativity, and how playful drawing brings it back. I share tips on loosening up, letting go of detail, and using bold tools to make expressive, joyful sketches. Materials used in this video: - Tempera Sticks, also known as Gouache sticks (various brands) - Caran d'Ache Luminance colored pencils Your assignment this week: Find a photo you like, pick a few colors that make you happy, and draw fast and loose. You can do it! Set a timer for 15 minutes and just see what happens. It's not about the result. It’s about making marks, having fun, and feeling better. 👉 Want more inspiration and support for your sketchbook practice?
