Setting aside the time, picking up a place to draw is an essential step to motivate yourself for drawing. Second comes the preparation, and last comes the reward. On completion of these three steps, you can feel the good vibes along with all the distresses dwindle away.
In short, setting aside a specific time of the day to draw and then looking for a comfy spot to draw is my first step towards motivation as motivation is always activated by the commitment. Then working on it naturally keeps me involved and motivated to complete the task; keeping the end product, reward, and admiration in my imagination. All of us at times need to be admired or praised, which not only boosts our confidence but helps us stay goal-oriented and motivated towards our task.
So today I really want to talk about how I keep myself motivated to draw. This is a very frequently asked question by my audience and I think it would be pretty interesting to talk about how I motivate myself to draw. So, here’s my take on it or my suggestion on how to think about the subject and how I motivate myself to draw. Pre-planning is the key to motivation. Watching a lot of YouTube videos on how to motivate yourself for anything has brought me to the conclusion that things get much easier if we go according to a plan.
I know that whenever you have a life where you go to work or school or to both and then you try to have a social life as well like having friends to interact with, along with already having a family. It’s just, in general, very hard to focus a lot of your time on art because we’re so busy and art itself can sometimes be kind of a chore and I can admit that at sometimes it takes a lot of dedication, motivation, and brainpower and sometimes it’s just not fun to think about yourself sitting and drawing. It takes up a lot of time.
