Secondary illustration tools and the psychology of long term success.

When I was a young aspiring illustrator, I always wanted to know what pencil my favorite artist used. These day’s I’m interested in what unexpected things you migh find in an artist’s studio.

In Side A I list 3 unexpected things you might find in my studio and why. And in side B, I share a video I saw today about building an exercise habit, which I think applies to any Habit you try to build.

SIDE A:

Secondary illustration tools.

1. A Yoga Mat ( I physically warm-up before a drawing session)

2. A good table lamp ( So I can draw whenever it’s required)

3. Ice packs ( to help me recover better, drawing is a streneous physical activity!)

SIDE B:

🔑Psychology - If you’re not careful, you’re actually training yourself to develop a habit of failure. (3 minute video)
