All right guys so you have completed the course.
You should be really proud of yourself.
I was a lot of work and a lot of stuff that you learned.
And if you haven't finished a 30 day challenge yet keep going strong.
Now I want to share with you a couple of thoughts.
One of the Basically what I would consider the secrets to being successful and getting better and staying
motivated when it comes to art.
Now there's not just one secret tip that is going to help you become perfect overnight but there are
some things that will make it easier and help you get better.
The first one which I've mentioned before is practice.
I know that I say it so much but it really is the most important thing.
If you want to double quadruple or even 10 x your ability to draw draw every single day.
Take a sketchbook with you wherever you can.
I take my sketchbook with me everywhere.
When I had a job I used to take it to work.
I take it to church with me I take it to friends houses I take it to family get togethers I always have
it because.
Well one you never know when you might have time to draw.
And you can always get better.
You never know when an idea might hit and you need to get down before you get it.
And you never know when the might the right opportunity might present itself and someone is there who
might be able to offer you a job based off of your art.
And honestly that's helped me out multiple times so I always have a sketchbook with you and always be
practicing every day.
Second thing is don't try and use your willpower to make everything happen.
It's going to be a losing battle.
And here's what I mean.
We only have so much willpower really that we can muster every day before we kind of give out.
Right.
So instead of using your willpower to fight stuff start forming habits.
So if you have this goal to sketch every single day and you form that into a habit it's going to be
way easier to make that happen than trying to summon the willpower to do it every day when it's a habit
you don't have to think about it.
It just happens as part of your daily routine.
But when you having to constantly make the effort to think about it and force yourself to do it it's
going to be a lot more difficult to stay consistent and make it all the way through.
So what I recommend is in order to help make it be a habit.
Pick a time of day that you can sketch every day whether it be first thing in the morning when you wake
up first thing before you go to bed everyday your lunch break whatever it is.
Pick a day and use the same time every day to sketch.
OK.
If you do this it's going to help your brain create a habit right.
You'll get used to the same old cues and the same old rewards.
And if you need to give yourself a reward for sketching because it's that difficult for you to stay
motivated then do it right.
Give yourself a snack after you're done or watch an episode of TV when you're finished.
Whatever it is you need to help you be rewarded for finishing that do it.
OK.
So practice every day and try and form a habit.
OK.
If you're trying to fight through with willpower it's going to be almost impossible.
OK.
So to help stay motivated form that habit but also remember what it is that you want.
Right.
Write down your goal from learning this on a piece of paper and put it on your bathroom mirror or somewhere
else.
Maybe you just want to get better at drawing right.
Maybe you just you always want your whole life and you just want to be a better artist.
Write that down on a piece of paper.
Maybe you are tired of your day job you hate accounting or whatever it is you're doing and you want
to be an artist.
And so you're willing to do art so that you can do this for a living.
Write that down.
Let that be there every single day to keep you motivated.
Maybe you're already an artist but you just want to be better to up your game right whatever it is.
Write that down on that piece of paper so that you don't forget it.
So you can always see it and it's always in the forefront of your mind because honestly motivation fades.
We've all been there where we felt super pumped and super excited to do something but literally the
next day we forgot about it and the motivation seems gone.
So keep it there every single day to remind you what it is you want and help you get there.
So those are my tips for these.
These are my tips to help you be successful and stay motivated.
And if you haven't finished the 30 day challenge.
Finish it up.
Go strong.
