I genuinely love all of your tutorials, but this one just hit a little different - a little deeper. Talking about your flow, about your hang ups, and more specifically what you had to do to not “fix” them persay but rather acknowledge and work around them, was HUGELY helpful. Inspiration overload and getting bored from the same painting and recognizing when you are ready to switch from inspiration mode to study/sketch mode - all of these are things I’ve felt but had been frustrated that I didn’t know what to do with it all. I felt like a failure of an artist because I couldn’t hold onto inspiration or I couldn’t see a painting through to the end - things that I thought all other artists surely must be doing. Thank you so much for this one! It feels like I’m giving myself permission to seek joy and curiosity in art instead of remaining convinced that I have to just “get over” being miserable!

so glad you enjoyed this! I think it's common for artists to feel like they are the only ones struggling with something. maybe because we are so often comparing ourselves to our greatest heroes and seeking out the most inspiring images we can find, and we forget to look at the struggles we all go through and which are actually a normal part of the creative process.

This is really cool I hope you do lessons for the nose, eyes, mouth, jaw

This is perhaps the best teaching I have seen from you. Your experience, both personal and technical comes through brilliantly. I can sense your empathy for the artists trying to climb the ladder of skill. I learned a great deal from watching you build your "flame figure". All around, I am awed by you skill as both teacher and artist. Please know that the time you take for lessons like this will hearten the strivers and elevate the skilled. Thank you so much.

I loved this! It couldn’t have come at a better time. I was just noticing how my art workflow wasn’t working for me at the moment. Thank you!

I can’t wait to watch this after work. Between your tutorials and me studying other like artists I’ve been getting better at rendering and not thinking too hard about how I show complete a piece

This was fantastic! I appreciate the technical aspect of the video as well as the "mindset" focus of the tutorial. I really like how you described the balance between the spontaneity and structure of the creative process. This was much more useful than art school.

thank you! this was one of my main lessons that i learned from working in the field rather than art school: balancing my time with rest and recharging. art school was all about doing the most you could and it wasn't a healthy mindset for me.

wow, thanks so much greg! I do have to say that helping out struggling artists is a huge motivator for me, maybe because I myself was that struggling artist once. thanks for your kind words!

I can only agree with the other comments: really good and helpful tutorial! It highlighted many issues that I have experienced myself as well and sometimes just couldn't identify why I would find it so hard to get back into creating again! These kind of videos are super helpful!

I definitely needed this video! I’ve been in a creative block where I didn’t have as much passion to make anything.

glad it helped! I think it's normal to have these phases where we are less inspired. It usually passes on its own as different phases and needs in life fluctuate!

Loved this video so much, some really good little creative idea generating tasks! I always get overwhelmed with Pinterest and other sites like that, nice to see approaches of how to get out of that never ending spiral of to many inspiring pics! You are such a good lecturer, I love watching these kind of videos you create 💜

thanks so much! It's so common, I feel like artists are made to believe that staring at beautiful art all day is supposed to inspire them. but sometimes that's just not the case and that's ok!

This was… absolutely amazing. Well explained, well presented, well organized, well done. I’m so impressed. This was exactly what I was hoping it would be and I don’t think it could have been explained and demonstrated better. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Hey Lois! Thank you so much for providing the tutorial about generating ideas and especially the mindset behind it. Thanks to you I caught myself doing several things that I'm now aware of, hehe. I have one question. I was drawing along your video, also painting on an A3 size, creating a smaller sketch and then working at it till the rough painting phase. How do you go from there? I noticed that my little sketch isn't the same size or ratio as my A3 canvas and when I wanna increase the size it looses its quality. So my main question is how do you get the painting back to the A3 size without loosing quality or having to redo the composition so it fits the A3 size? Can't wait to check out more of your content, i'm new but adoring it already! :3

good question! honestly, I just upscale the image at a really early stage. I end up painting over so much of it that the quality loss isn't an issue. Technically this is bad practice so a better alternative would be to draw at a larger size, but zoom out so that it's small on your screen. Glad you liked this tutorial!

Thank you for your reply! Yes, I had a feeling you might do that. Meaning you basically paint everything on one layer until you add something new in order to see if it adds or not. If your width of your sketch is smaller than the width of the A3 canvas, do you end up filling that space anyways or do you adjust the character to keep the composition sorta the same? Mostly asking because for some reason I find this all very confusing when I want to print my art ~

I love the Pep talks at the beginning of the demos. It makes me feel like “I’ve go this!”

2023-05-01 12:47:36 This was probably the most helpful tutorial so far, which is saying a lot. I've learned so much already, but learning to really take a step back, relax and not put too much pressure on ourselves to create portfolio-worthy work constantly is truly refreshing to hear. I'm forever grateful for these videos <3

So helpful. She’s intelligent in the way she explains the whole process. I’m kinda all over the place, sketching and rendering and conceptualizing all at the same time. Her approach makes me calm and could reduce my creative anxiety :D

Wow, so good to see how your work was inspired. I've always admired your image of the girl by the water at night, so it was great to see where you got your inspiration. I collect photos and inspirational things all the time - now I feel like I have a clearer idea of how I can use them. It is also really interesting to see how you scheduled your week, and your mindset ideas are on point, thank you!

Amazing! What app do you use to generate such a plan? (timestamp: 11:30)

thank you! I used google to plan all this. the pie chart was a graph that I created from google sheets data, and the calendar is just google calendar!
