[transcription of the above image] DISCIPLINE AS PLEASURE IN CREATIVE PRACTICE 1. FIND PLEASURE AND SATISFACTION IN SHOWING UP CONSISTENTLY REGARDLESS OF YOUR PRODUCTIVITY OR QUALITY OF OUTPUT. PLEASURE IS IN THE INTEGRITY.

2. PRACTICE SHOWING UP - THE MOMENTUM AND COMPLETION WILL INEVITABLY FOLLOW.

3. THE FEELING OF RESISTANCE IS NATURAL, IS A FLEETING TEMPORARY STATE, AND SHOULD NOT CAUSE SHAME.

4. THERE IS PLEASURE IN RIDING THE WAVE OF RESISTANCE AND ALCHEMIZING THAT ENERGETIC BLOCK INTO A SWEET, DELICIOUS FLOW.

5. YOUR PRACTICE IS AN ONGOING CONVERSATION AND RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR MUSES, YOUR GENIUS, YOUR IDEAS, THE UNIVERSE. ARE YOU BEING A MINDFUL PARTNER AND CO-CREATOR?

Yeah i have a dark past (being 13). Just an absolutely horrible backstory (being 13). It would keep you up at night if i told you about it (i was 13 one time)

why would it be a surprise

when I tell you my darkest secrets?

my blackest moments?

aren't they written on my face?

didn't you see in every movement

all the ways I arrived broken?

Quick little video tutorial! This is a method I use to block in shapes when I’m fighting the urge to polish my lineart at an early stage, especially in rough concept art that doesn’t actually need polished lineart.

I group two layers in photoshop—a rough sketch, and a flat color—and then carve out the negative space by painting into a mask on the group, instead of filling in the positive shapes. From there I can start painting and adding shading into that group, knowing that I’ve already locked down a good initial silhouette for the object/character:

It feels like oil painting, and I end up finding silhouettes/shapes in a way I wouldn’t if I was obsessively cleaning up the linework first. Digital art has a tendency to veer towards cleanliness/polish, so I love finding little opportunities for happy accidents and a bit of mess!

I used it on my unicorn piece last month, for instance, which I think would have lost a lot of its dynamism and charm if I had worried too much about doing a full ink pass:

Hope this is at all helpful!  It’s not a method I use 100% of the time, but it really helps move my process along when I do need it 👍🏼
