Hi everyone. I have been following Proko for a whole while now, I think 2+ years, and gushed over all the courses, never thought I could manage or take on any of the courses until this one came along but one small hurdle came along, I can't quite seem to get a schedule going.
I am a beginner when it comes to drawing (well yeah, the course haha), is there any advice any Pro or anyone at all would be able to give me to be able to start on a schedule and be able to keep up with it? I searched countless YouTube videos and I cant quite seem to grasp a good method.
Any help at all is appreciated. Thank you so much in advance.
Use implementation intentions. Which basically is the intention to implement someting on your life. The formula goes as follows: I will (Activity) at (Time) in (Place). So yours you'd basically go I will Draw at 7:30 on my kitchen table. Time and location are two of the most common queues to start an activity. Might wanna set an alarm and to keep yourself really accountable before you go to sleep you can write in in your to do list so you HAVE to do it. Lot to uncover there but as long as you follow the formula I gave you and add it to your to do list you sould be good. Also give yourself a reward after you draw so you're compelled to do it again, watch a cool show or eat a snack you love. Cheers.
I struggle with this as well. What I've begun to do is this: 1. Set clear goals for every study session. So when I have time, I make the most of it. 2. Study on the go and always carry some pens and a sketchbook with me. 3. Set a roadmap with several current and future goals.
I started waking up at 5 everyday to draw. My goal was to do it a month and here we are 3.5 months later (I started drawing Oct 1). I love it. I’m up before my family and all the craziness and it’s so peaceful.
