#creative resolutions

[shortytori]

I want to get back into doing art. To creating characters I love that always pop up in my head. I know I only do headshots, and I need to get out of that habit and get more into doing full-body drawings. I’ll also be making buttons soon and trying to sell them, so that’ll be a fun experience! 

I really hope everyone who sees this has a good new years, and I hope 2022 is going to be great for you

"Creative Resolutions"

Just recently I was struck with the idea of creative resolutions.  Because let’s face it, regular New Year’s resolutions kind of suck.  These would be fun while still challenging my creative skills.

For instance, I would love to get into more card making this year.  I’m very fond of the idea of sending out mail that means something to people.  After all, wouldn’t you rather receive a beautiful card than a bill?  So I got a value pack of cards recently at Michael’s and I want to gelatin print them.  We made some new plates over the holidays using a recipe we found online to make a permanent gelatin plate.

That leads me into my second creative resolution: to make some monoprints with my gelatin plates.  I remember doing printmaking years ago and loving it.  It would just be another way for me to step up my art.  I also want to create more marbleized prints.  The process of marbling is so beautiful and I want to bring that into my life more often.

Of course, having creative projects is one thing.  Doing something with the results is another.  I say this all the time that I want to get my art out there in the world.  But doing it can be a little scary.  I think I need to face my fears and just do it.  I want to have my art on display somewhere, whether it’s in a coffee shop or a gallery.  That is one resolution that I pray I don’t flake out on.  So stay tuned to see how that all pans out.

Setting Goals and Making Plans for 2015: A Look at Daily Routines of Famous Creative Minds

The blogosphere, social media and the interwebs in general are explosive this time of year with goal setting tips, new year’s resolutions, and how to get all your duckies in a row for your most efficient year possible. Admittedly, I am doing some winter cleaning myself – making lists, maps, plans, and general organizing – of my brain, home, and berjillion notes that I jot down throughout the year.

My Top 10 Creative Resolution

1. Go back to school. (And, try to figure out how I'm going to handle being a student and working full time...again.) 

2. Hand Lettering. I find solace and satisfaction with the world of typography whether digital or hand drawn so I really want to focus on bettering my skills. Since I do it almost every day (doodles) in my planner, I might as well get better at it. 

3. Drawing. While fine art might not be my forte, I should continue to get better at drawing or.. illustrating.. doodling...really finding and refining my style. I have to admit that I'm proud where I've gotten since I graduated with my doodles and "drawing" skills. My doodles have shoulders and necks!! LOL.

4. Understand Business/Marketing. Let's face it, yes, designers can make things look amazing, but I feel what makes a stronger designer is knowing how and where to sell their work. Not only that, but if I continue to work in the creative/marketing department, I should get to know the ins and outs of both worlds. 

5. Write more. Because, hello, eloquent and well thought out wore...is kind of important...(whispers) and kinda sexy. 

6. Read more. Whether it be design books to strengthen my lingo, sarcastic humor to keep me creative, or even personal growth to keep me going, I need to keep my nose in a book at all times. 

7. Editorial. I get a lot of that creative exercise at work. I'm exposed to fashion/magazine layouts every day, so I'm need to take advantage of grids, type, detail & all that great stuff at work. 

8. Public Speaking. I often find myself stuttering more & more, and that's just no good. So I am taking it upon myself to be more verbal whether at the office or just out with friends and really taking the time to think about what I have to say before randomly throwing words out there, repeating myself and pretty much sounding like a complete fool, LOL. 

9. Meet more creatives. Workshops. Mixers. Conventions. Everything and anything to surround myself with my peers. Because, creative people are awesome >:]

10. Stop being so hard on myself. I strive to be great at what I do because I love to do it. However, I often find myself setting the bar way too high and rushing at it, and while that might seem really great setting up my goals really high, I set myself up for disaster when I bite off more than I can chew then I get all sad and discouraged and blah blah blah... so, that being said, I need to slow down and be happy that each small goal will lead to bigger goals. 

What are you creative resolutions?

Cheers and get creative!

Creative Resolutions

I was inspired by Owl's post about creative resolutions so here are mine:  My main creative resolution this year is to keep an art journal :) I have several books on art journals, inspirations and how to, and have always wanted to give one a go, but I'm too afraid it won't look good, so I've never really given it a go. I plan to be realistic, so it shan't be a daily journal, probably a minimum of once a week :) 

I also want to finish my play 'unwrapped' and submit it to the accidental festival I also want to read more...and spend more time out and about socialising with uni friends :) have dinner parties and evenings in at my place :) those aren't creative resolutions...but resolutions none the less :P
