How To Make Art Daily With A 9-5 (2022 Update)
About two years ago I made this video titled “How To Make Art Everyday With a 9-5” which you can check out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzQ1DpaHBTI&t=0s Within that video, I discussed a level of daily creative productivity that was sustainable as a long-term lifestyle choice. I also spoke on how to give your creative projects an average of 22-28 hours a week or more without burning out and how a creative schedule could help you stay on track with maintaining those hours and moving the needle consistently.
Since that video came out my life changed a bit due to the global pandemic that keeps on giving. So here I am 2 years later with an update to my morning creative routine!
Enjoy the new episode!

Stressing About The Standard of Your Art
What’s good my internet friends. Welcome back to the channel. Hope all is well in the new year. We’re like 2 weeks in now and things have been kinda wild already. This video topic was sparked by another reddit post where someone had asked if anybody else felt stressed about upholding your art to a certain ‘standard’? So let's talk about it.

How To Get Better at Drawing (5 Easy Tips)
For today’s episode I was wondering if you guys felt like your drawing skills or your overall art skills have kind of stagnated? This is a feeling I go through every now and again honestly and I think it’s normal to feel this way sometimes. I’m reminded that it’s an irrational feeling when I compare my current work to my older work but none the less you always want to be improving. With that said, I’ve come up with 5 ways/tips to improve your drawing skills whenever you’re feeling this way. Some of these I’ve already applied and seen visible improvements, some I plan to apply more thoroughly, and one of these 5 I’m excited to try for the first time.

A Quick Podcast Update Clip
So I’ve got some ideas to bring back the podcast. I’m thinking way less formal topics. Just using it as an outlet to speak on my thoughts that day and putting that out even if it’s short. Be ready for a lot of venting, ranting, and roasting.
