How I Started A Consistent Art Habit

In this video I talk about how I went from NOT creating anything, to being able to draw consistently for 100 days in a row (and now more), using my post-it note system.
Thanks for watching, you’re the bee’s knees!
Learn about my 100 day drawing journey and see all the illustrations and collages up close, some of which I hint at what they are about.. ooh. Drama.

Hi Rhiannon, I'm from the UK and I'm probably a bit older than some of your followers. I love art but feeling the same, no mojo etc. I had a go with a pen and post it and ended up drawing a squiggle that I love so it's gone on the wall!!! Thank you for that little gem of advice . 🤗

[@rhiannonjamesart]

Aww this is awesome to hear! Yes to the wall too! Long may it continue so you can discover those hidden gems your art will reveal for you.

[@Altplus0134]

Your idea and encouragement is just what I needed to hear today! I’ve created collage and have done some drawing since I retired, but I’ve been struggling lately to do anything artistic. It all seems a little overwhelming. But, I can definitely make a few marks on a post-it note! I’m going to start again today. 😊

[@rhiannonjamesart]

Yes! A line is something you can do. I'm keen to hear what your line turns into.

[@gabyfsy]

Thank you. I loved your video. A line feels manageable... I feel inspired!

[@rhiannonjamesart]

Oh yay! Thank you, that's so awesome to hear.

[@nelaraujobr1746]

Great tip! Very inspiring! Gonna try it! Thanks a lot! Cheers from Brazil!🙃

[@rhiannonjamesart]

Oh yay! That's great, so glad you found it inspiring. Hi from New Zealand!

[@RandallHarris142]

So inspiring!! Thanks for this video.

[@daisyerwin8860]

This is a great video. I hope to do something similar with posting regularly to a social media account

[@rhiannonjamesart]

Love this idea!

If you want to take this further there is a book called: The Sticky Note Guide to Life by Chaz Hutton. It is his funny take on life using Post-it notes.

[@jojojo8835]

That’s good to know, thanks! I can remember an animated stop-motion short film made with post it notes, I wonder if it’s on KZbin somewhere…

[@interruptingPreempt]

Just walked over to the table, picked up the post-its and drew a squiggle. Now it's a person hailing a bus. This is very actionable! I'll keep it at my desk. Thanks!

[@rhiannonjamesart]

I love this! How cool, thanks for sharing.

[@WOK-YT-handle]

What a wonderful idea. I am so happy KZbin dropped this video into my feed! (also I love the expression "the bee’s knees!") 😸

[@rhiannonjamesart]

Thank you!

[@swright5081]

Fabulous. Thank you for these videos! Putting a pen and a post it note in the kitchen right now.

[@rhiannonjamesart]

Awesome! Excited to see what your lines turn into

[@deirdrelewis1454]

OK, I did this! I used a pencil and a small sketchbook. I keep trying to draw something every day but never seem to keep it up as I can’t think of anything. Starting with just a line makes it less intimidating somehow. Hopefully I can keep going now. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@mabellchurnoopay]

Yes, it was inspiring, thank you. Your approach appeals more than most, it's manageable and it grows.

[@dianahoward7226]

Post it notes! What a fabulous idea! Post it’s don’t feel as intimidating. They are small, and they can be easily tossed… for those of us with that silly voice telling us everything must be perfect! And starting with just a line. So manageable. Love this whole idea!

[@teresazade7496]

Just starting..... i love preparing but freeze when it's time to actually DO.... haha. Your ideas and showing your own progression was very helpful. I'm retired. Doing art for myself feels selfish, like that's not enough of a purpose or reason. That feeling is a big stumbling block for me. Do you have advice ?

[@KellyC77]

Hi I'm new here from the UK 🇬🇧. I really enjoyed this video. I'm a massive procrastinator and this idea is amazing. Would love to see how I can make other areas of my life the same 😊

[@LoriPeace]

I love this idea! Got to get post-it notes when I go to the store this morning. 😊

[@CoriHarhutch]

Your sweater/jumper is lovely!

[@TheClutterLady]

I do have a lot of sticky notes I need to use up. I liked this so much, I just subscribed! Thank you for sharing...I'm watching from the USA!
