Managing Life (Business & Personal)
It's been a while since I've posted anything here. Since my last post, a lot has happened. I've been working, drawing, moving, and dealing with typical life issues. I was trying to do too much. I thought I could juggle social media posts, blog posts, growing my business, and family obligations while still creating art and making a living. I thought I could give 100% of myself to all areas. It worked for a while but ultimately it killed my creativity. I had to find a way to work these areas without burning out.
My escape has always been sketching. It's been the one thing that I always fall back on. No matter whats going on in the outside world, I'll find a way to sketch or create art. I've done it my entire life but 99% of my sketches were lost or thrown away. So I decided to record a few sketches and speed them up and post them on Instagram.
During this process, I found out a few things.
I suck at editing content. But some places that helped me are youtube and Skillshare.com
Creating a video of my sketch helps me get better by seeing my weaknesses and strengths objectively.
Capturing the video is the easy part. The creative part is editing the video to tell a story. People like the video to have a clear beginning, middle, and end. People also like consistency.
I'm going to posting some of these videos these here. Let me know what you think. What would you want to see in a video like this?
