  • Sooo, I started drawing 3 days ago for the first time since school after being entirely put off it by my teacher. Getting over the fear of trying is a pretty big deal(I have handwriting a gp would be ashamed of).
    I’ve just received a Jake Spicer book which I’m going to work through but have enjoyed copying a few things. Do love a jetsons building.

    Getting over the fear of trying

    Think I might have prattled on about this before here, but a good technique is to have some pages in your sketchbook (or a separate sketchbook) divided up in to a grid of something like 9 or 12 sections. Every day just do something in one of the sections. Might be a little drawing of a mouse. Might be some cross-hatching practice. Whatever.
    Helps get over fear-of-blank-page and reduces the pressure to do a 'proper' drawing first time. Plus its an easy way to keep up drawing momentum even if you don't have much time.
