172 • STUDYING FROM ART BOOKS VS ONLINE COURSES

Studying time! In this one, lilDENNiS and I talk about Studying, and why I prefer Studying from Art Books vs Online Courses.

This episode came about after I set the date for my Procreate studying, of the 1st of August 2021.

Repetition and Practice … that’s all Studying is about really, but some of the other topics included:

Studying from Art Books vs Online Courses,
The Power of Repetition,
Traditional vs Digital Note Taking,
My Fear of Drawing Bad Drawings,
Slow and Steady wins the Study,
How I Study,
Sketching in Cheap Sketchbooks,
Procreate Studying,
and I have a good old slurp :)

Hope you find this one useful.

77 – KEEP GOING BY AUSTIN KLEON BOOK REVIEW

In this one I cover the third and final Playful lil Austin Kleon Art Book called, Keep Going by Austin Kleon. Just like the previous two books, this one’s incredible; So Inspiring, Motivating and Fun. Each book is amazing on it’s own, but put them all together and you have a family of three lil beauties. The bright blue cover of Keep Going is nice and Simple, but very Sexy, just like every single page of the book. If you’ve struggled with staying Motivated, Enjoying the Creative Process, or even Keeping a Balanced Life … this book has tons of Fun, Practical Advice and Exercises on how to keep going. Hope you love this one as much as I do :)

Another Beautfully Inspiring lil Art Book, this one’s Show Your Work by Austin Kleon! Just like last weeks book, Steal Like An Artist also by Austin Kleon, I’m thinking this is going into my list of my all time favourite art books … Super Fun and Inspiring it is. The bright yellow cover’s sexy too :) But the thing is, I’ve always struggled with sharing my stuff on social media for various reasons, and this book’s already helping me. I’m going to reread this one many times I think, because it’s full of so much practical knowledge. Hope you have fun with this one :)
