I agree with you, that's a wonderfull way to start your day. 💖💖💖

[@thaneeya]

Thank you! 😃 It really is an ideal way to start the day! 🎨🖍

[@charofheart37]

I used to do this. It was so natural I didn't realize how much it was doing for me until you also put it in words. This is why it is important to listen and watch other artist. It might be a reminder or a new tips to push past a technique blundering. Thank you very much for your hard work and efforts 🤗❤️👍🏽💯

[@thaneeya]

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! 💖 It's great that you can relate to the benefits of this kind of morning habit! 😊🎨🖍

Although I don’t always do it, I think getting outside for a bit every day is so helpful.

[@thaneeya]

Definitely! I always feel better after spending time outside, even if just for a little bit 😊

[@cassandrascott2613]

Love your sketchbook❣️. Thank you for sharing❤

[@thaneeya]

I love seeing your creative process. This was very affirming and inspiring. Drawing is too stressful for me, but lately I’ve been working a few minutes on a puzzle in the mornings. It gets my brain going and I love seeing the colors come together like when I color. I typically spend my late evenings coloring, and when I’m not obligated to anything, I like to start my day with it for a bit. Thanks so much for sharing this new routine!

[@thaneeya]

Thank you so much, Christina! 💖 I'm glad you enjoyed my video. It's neat to hear the different ways you incorporate creativity into your routine, whether puzzles or coloring. I know what you mean about seeing the colors come together when you work on a puzzle. I've been pecking away at one of my diamond paintings for a few minutes every day, and it's a good way to get my brain going when I'm feeling sluggish! 😊

[@whitewave1480]

I noticed that you have a Rainbow Bright in your background. That's so cool!

[@thaneeya]

It's so cool that you noticed! 😁 I grew up in the 80s and I LOVED Rainbow Brite!! 😊🌈💕

[@whitewave1480]

@thaneeya I was born in 1980 and I had her and I think her horse.

[@thaneeya]

I had her horse too! I loved Starlite!! ✨🥰✨

[@thaneeya]

Thanks so much!! I'm so happy you enjoyed my video! ✨🥰✨

[@LynMaloney]

This was a very good video, Thaneeya. I love that you have this new routine. We are all too distracted with our devices & look at our phone usually first thing in the morning. Your new routine is the perfect way to start the day. I love all your cute sketches. Well done & keep up the great work. Xx🙂👍👏👏

[@thaneeya]

Thank you so much, Lyn! 💕 I'm so happy you enjoyed the video and that you love my cute sketches! 😊💖 Making art is such a refreshing way to start the day! 🎨

[@iLoveYouToInifinityAndBeyond]

Thanks for sharing such a beautiful process to enhance the creative experience ✨💖

[@thaneeya]

I'm so glad you enjoyed my video! Thank you for your lovely comment! 😃💖

[@creativewah]

Fantastic video! Love the idea of drawing as soon as you wake up! One of my goals this year is to keep a sketchbook where I don’t use any references and drawing in it first thing in the morning is a great idea! Thanks for sharing! Also, your pencil pouch is so cute! 🧡💕🦋💕🧡

[@thaneeya]

Thanks so much! I’m so happy you liked my video and my pencil pouch! 🥰💕 That's awesome that you want to have a reference-free sketchbook this year. At first I was worried I'd run out of ideas, but it's amazing how the ideas can flow from your imagination once you get started! Enjoy!! 😃🎨🌟

Hi First Thing I'm up & out at Work at 7.45 so no time to draw. But I always manage between 1.00 or just after till aleast 2.15 to Sketch, I have to use a Refrance photo of what I'm doing. Now I tend to leaving Sketches now to choose colouring in on a later Day, I find it Fun to leave them alone. I've got Crayola Twistables & pencils they are fun to use. Get different results ever time. My sketches are also there to help me with my 50 Christmas Gifts that I make, I have to sketch what I want before I put it on a Felt Sheet. You can't rub out ink on Felt, believe me I have so tried to do so. I've also used skctches in my phone that I have photographed as well, because I needed a Landscape photo instead of looking online. At the time I couldn't find my Sketchbooks & one or Two had already gone as Christmas gifts, So I want to see what a landscape would look like on a Felt Sheet, trying out different Ideas & doing a New Felt Mugs. I needed to find the correct Reference photo for Ice cream in a Mug or a Cup, I have a least 10 Sketches, but coloured them all in different shades to try & work out what works & doesn't. This time I even Sketched out Glass one's too, because I never done them before, my Badges that I did of an ice-cream were poplar along with the Mugs, but I only had 2 Designs & needed more. I'm doing Sleeping Lions, Tigers & Giraffes, a friend loved there sleeping Tiger that was Neon Threads & my Bears heads In Neon threads hats too. I'm Trying them in Cowboy hats with the Full Bear this time, fortunately I remember where my sketchbook was & working in my New little Sketchbook with Animals in Christmas hats for Next Year too, I like to get a head Start on things in April. But thought that I'd get sketches done on paper then Drawn Straight onto the Felt, the reason I know that you can't get rid of ink on Felt is I did a Sloth without a Sketch & it looked Terrible & I couldn't tell what I had done incorrect, until I looked one up & did 4 Sketches. The answer was the arms & nose were off & the Fur lines as well. Thank you ⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@thaneeya]

That's great that you have a creative routine that works for you and your schedule! 😃 Sounds like a lot of fun sketching and making your Christmas gifts. Very inspiring! Thank you for sharing!! 😊🎨🖍

[@StorytimeAdventuresLove]

Those have adorable eyes 👀❤

[@thaneeya]

Thank you! I always have a lot of fun drawing my characters' eyes! 😊👀🎨

[@jimmydragonstudios]

Beautiful art and sketchbook! There are great tips here. However, I am definitely not a morning person. I don't check my phone first thing in the morning which is a great thing for me but I have to get up pretty early and have to get ready for my day job which is not artistic at all. When it is time to come home from work, I find that I am pretty tired and I try to do something artistic but I find it challenging to keep my focus and there are times I just don't want to do anything at all. How would you battel this issue or someone out there battle this issue. I am looking for anything that can help. I find that I am a better person when I am doing art but I find it hard with my energy level coming down to almost zero at the end of the day.

[@thaneeya]

Thanks so much ~ I'm happy you like my art and sketchbook! 😃 Awhile ago I had a bad bout of insomnia that left me tired and unmotivated to make art most days. The thing that helped me the most was having a WIP always out on my desk with the relevant art supplies right next to it, ready to go. I find that it's easier to get back into an existing artwork, than to start from scratch. Even if I just pecked away at the same artwork for weeks or months, for a few minutes at a time, it really helped with my overall well-being. Another idea: any kind of low-pressure sketching or doodling, with no expectations. Just something to get your hands moving and creative juices flowing. You could put a show or podcast on in the background if that helps with relaxation after a long day. I'd love to hear other people's suggestions too! Hope this sparks some ideas and you find something that works for you! 🎨✨

[@jimmydragonstudios]

@@thaneeya Thank you! I have been starting to "Doodle" more myself. It does help. I will try leaving a few supplies out to see if that could do it too. Thank you again!
