Build and Maintain a Creative Habit in Busy Life

Do you like creating art? Do you struggle to find time to create art because there’s so much to do in your daily life? If yes, you are not alone. And welcome to this class!

In this class, I will guide you through the mindset of building a creative habit, which will help you stop using “I’m busy” as an excuse not to create anything. I will present 3 exercises that can help you get started creating art on a regular basis. We will start by drawing random lines and shapes using a number of drawing materials. Then we move on to painting geometric shapes using gouache and watercolor. We will also explore the idea of illustrated journalling where we draw our daily life into bits and pieces, cut them out, and paste them into our journals. I’ll show you how to do these exercises in traditional media and also in Procreate. So you can absolutely follow along using whatever tools and materials you have. In the end, I will also give you some advice on maintaining the creative habit that you have built so you can keep going without trouble.

You will be provided with a Class Guide to help you navigate this whole class. It has basic information on each exercise, a suggested list of supplies, my examples for the exercises, some Procreate resources, and a habit tracker that helps you stay on track to creating art on a regular basis.

All you need to do is to gather all the art supplies you have before taking this class. If you only have the iPad, then use the iPad. But make sure you have Procreate in it.
