Motivation - INSPIRATION

"Motivation and inspiration are very easy to lose, I find that it's good to stay inspired by taking in your surroundings, watching movies and doing things that are out of the norm. It helps to broaden your knowledge.

It's very important to not get into a rut. Listen to a lot of different things and perspectives, and keep an open mind.

Take time out of your day to read or go to the park and just take a break from drawing. Motivation can also come from giving yourself goals and will drive you to work harder.
