Forming Creative Habits
A big reason I decided to start this art challenge was because I wanted to practice consistency. At the start, I didn't know where art fit in my daily routine — I'd only paint once or twice a week whenever I felt like it, and many days I didn't feel like making art at all.
Over the course of the challenge, I learned to make art a practice of habit, a part of my lifestyle. I started noticing that I create best in the morning, that it takes me around 3 hours from start to finish, and these were all things that I eventually took into building routine into my daily art practice.
For you, this doesn’t mean having to carve out hours out of your already busy day. Instead, focus on making creativity into a habit, not a task. How would your day look different if you spent 30 min in the morning sketching? Or learned a new craft while having your evening television on?
