Totally get it haha

We all need it tbh <3

there's an element to it that you enjoy!

I know it can feel like a chore when there are no results, but try to post and share in ways that feel enjoyable. Look for ways to connect, ways to make social media fun for you. This makes being consistent with it easier because you're not just showing up for that result, you're showing up because

Yesssss

Totally! The algorithm won't show it to everyone the first time around anyway

As often as YOU are comfortable with. Consistency is better than doing it based on someone else's recommendation and then burning out.

It took you hours, days, months to make, why should it only live for a few hours in a single post?

You can replicate curiosity exercises with any part of the process!

Just have to be conscious of your new intention (in this case, curiosity instead of expectation) and repeat it!

Bonus: this also reduces the time that most of us spend just scrolling while we wait.

The resistance you feel before drawing will start to fade away the more you do this because your brain no longer associates drawing time as this "precious" experience that has to go a particular way.

Use drawing as a way to discover the world and explore your curiosity.

The best kind!!

You don't need a "new year" to become the artist you want to be - you just need support and a plan that actually fits your life.

Most people wait until they "feel ready."

But readiness comes AFTER you start - not before.

So start small. Sketch. Doodle. Show up messy. That's where the magic starts. ✏️

2 months of early practice =
✨ confidence instead of comparison
✨ flow instead of perfectionism
✨ results instead of guilt

This is how artists actually stick to their goals.

Imagine this: by Jan 1st, you've already drawn 20+ times.

You're not rusty, you're ready.

Approaching art doesn't feel intimidating - it feels like home again. ✨

Because here's the secret:

You don't magically wake up motivated in January.

You build momentum NOW - through small, consistent practice that makes showing up feel normal, not forced.
