I made a YouTube video where I talk about the movies I saw in the cinema in the past year and a half! Yes, a whole hour of me talking about 29 movies. Hopefully this'll become an annual series, what do you think?
When You Can't Bring Yourself to Draw
I have had the roughest weekend you can possibly imagine. Mentally and physically I was drained. I couldn't bring myself to do anything, not even draw, which is something I love to do despite not being the best artist in the world. It's strange that I didn't draw, considering the advice I'm about to give.
What's the one thing artists -professional or amateur- should do when they can't bring themselves to draw? Draw anyway.
Seriously.
Yes, you are tired or sick or depressed and want nothing but to wallow in your bed. But wallowing is the one thing that'll make everything worse, because you're lying in bed with nothing but you're thoughts, which got you into this mess in the first place.
Even though you're not in the mood to draw, you should distract yourself by doing it anyway. Forget about drawing a masterpiece, just doodle what you feel and get it out of your system. You don't even have to draw. Do something else you like, or need to do. Literally anything is better than overthinking things.
Another Year, Another Term
I hope you all had a wonderful happy new year and spent it the way you wanted to! The second term of my second year in Animation and VFX is starting soon which means blog posts are returning! Updates on my work, working for others and my opinions on animation topics and filmmaking in general will all be back. I'm very glad to start working again. See you soon!
