Combatting the big three. Tips to get you fighting.
Sketchbook Surgery 006
Dear Reader,
Welcome to another sketchbook surgery.
What is Sketchbook Surgery? It’s a place where I discuss the challenges or struggles of keeping a sketchbook habit. In each post, I will look at a different area that has come up in my practice or one that others have asked for help in. Tips are shared and you’re welcome to write your thoughts, questions and feedback in the comments.
Here is today’s question:
How do you deal with your inner critic? What do you do to overcome procrastination and resistance when creating??
Firstly you are not alone.
This is a very common experience and every seasoned artist will wrestle regularly with either a negative voice, procrastination, resistance or a mixture of all three.
I thought it would be interesting to take a closer look at each one in turn and explore how and when they may arise in our own art practice and sketching time.
By doing so I hope to help identify ways in which we can overcome or push through these times. I’ll also share some personal thoughts on how I deal with these unwanted behaviours.
