so how do you guys keep disciplined art going?
13 years ago
i’ve been trying a few things over the past few weeks to get myself working more on my art on a consistent basis, and so far I haven’t had much success:
keeping a sketchbook with me: i have like 12038302 sketchbooks already of varying sizes and i end up starting a thing in one book that ends up being on too small a page or the book ends up being too big to carry around all the time (yeah i know, excuses, excuses mister wannabe artman!)
doodling in bed: I fall asleep like a rock as soon as I try to read/draw while laying down.
drawing on the bus: sometimes this works but drawing while riding on Oahu’s pothole-riffic roads is an exercise in futility.
staying up late to doodle all night: umm…. not with close opens. unless i just don’t want to sleep ever
caffiene: i ran out of c pills i think last week? weaning myself off them has made me feel less crazy but also doesn’t give me that mental oomph i need….
am I just full of shit or is there another strategy you guys use that works for you? lay it on me

I don't know what kind of difficulties you may have that keep you from drawing on a relaxed ambient, so I may have sound like a dork asking that.
Also it's good to be persistent, but pushing it won't do you any good.
Just take your time I guess. It will come to you eventually.
I don't know what might be your problem here, is it practice or an art-block?
