Book Description

WHAT BENEFITS CAN BE EXPECTED? After some time (first effects are visible after about 22 days) our drawing becomes more free and automatic, we become more creative. Of course, there are also more difficult days, but they are not so frequent. We get to know the materials used so far better and discover new forms of expression. We discover our own style of drawing (however, we shouldn't focus too much on it, it's better if it comes out the same with time). Such a challenge is particularly beneficial for people who also have other obligations such as employment, childcare, school. Time is then very limited and you have to really make an effort to build a permanent habit that other responsibilities will not absorb. In order not to fail, you need to prepare yourself as well as possible for the challenge. How? To announce publicly that you are taking up the challenge Ask a trusted person to watch over us a little, remind us of the challenge if necessary. At the very beginning, it may get out of our minds in some difficult circumstances that we should sit down to draw. You can also set yourself an alarm on your phone. Prepare yourself a workstation and draw most often at one time of the day. It is easier to sit down and just start drawing if you have everything at hand. Link a new habit to an existing one - it will take better. If, for example, you eat lunch at one time every day, assume that you draw after lunch. Prepare yourself properly for the problem "I don't know what to draw". Build your own inspiration bank, about which I wrote here . This way you will avoid sitting for hours over an empty sheet of paper. Don't demand too much from yourself at first. You have a hard day - draw anything. Draw your previous drawing or draw a picture inspired by someone else's work (if you publish such an illustration, write about it and give the author). Practice the basics on a given day and warm up your hand. If you spend at least 10 minutes drawing, you are one small step ahead. This way you will not panic. Our brain unfortunately reacts to every change with stress. The more we care, the worse this reaction is. So it is better to start with small things and, as you get used to the subject, move on to bigger and more complicated ones.
