The Creative Gym

Go to the creative gym every day

Jean Jullien

I’ve recently read a few books by artists including Jean Jullien and one thing that stood out is the emphasis each of them placed on practice.

Drawing has always been something I enjoy, but I haven’t had made the time to practice enough to improve or form a meaningful habit. This means the friction to get started was way too high.

Finally a few weeks ago I broke the pattern and have started sketching almost daily. As a bonus, I find that when I draw, my boys are more inspired to draw too. I’m also finding that as I try drawing things I find harder (animals and people) I’m improving – though I still manage to make faces look weird 🙃
