By the beginning of 2014 I started this account and uploaded a doodle a day during a year. It was the most challenging thing I ever did and it helped me loads on improving my art. I've seen a lot of mentions on my inbox about artists that are starting their own 365 Days challenge and I want to write this journal to share what I've learned through my experience and maybe encourage some of you to join this long term journey. :heart: It's okay to start simple!

I don't mean you need to plan every stroke.

Our Film. Our Journey.Paving a Path Through a Creative Life Video by Keith Fenter,  kfenter In the "What Does Your Artistic Journey Look Like?" Challenge, we asked the DeviantArt community to show us their personal creative journeys.

Most of the excuses for not drawing is lacking of ideas. On part 1 of this journal I explained why I find it useful to keep a notebook with you, and to write down your ideas whenever possible. This second part is about developing the habit of drawing. Hope you find it useful! :bulletblue:Create the habit of drawing:bulletblue: First thing to know about creating new habits is that it works kinda like inertia law: "An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion." Which means that the more you postpone your drawings the more you'll feel like delaying them. This procrasti
