Tip of the Day: Doubters and HatersBefore you start off your career (or perhaps you just started your career) there tends to be more doubters and haters around you.
Most doubters and haters lurk at the bottom because they're too fearful or ignorant to try.
Sometimes many of our biggest doubters aren't bottom lurkers but our relatives or friends. Most of the time they mean well but they are not YOU. They don't know what you are capable of.
For many people, you are your worst hater and doubter. The only way you can find what you're capable of is by trying your absolute hardest. True failure comes from not trying!
Sending positive vibes to you all!

Tip of the Day: Developing StyleDon't think what kind of style do people want. Just be yourself and search for knowledge. Style develops through knowledge.
Sending positive vibes to everyone!

Tip of the Day: Are You Replaceable?Replaceable people are the ones that always stand by for instructions & never try to think for themselves.
How replaceable are you? What can you do or learn to make yourself more irreplaceable?
Sending positive vibes to you all!

Tip of the Day: Dealing with StressStress is the root for many health problems. It's not necessary. Just do what you need to do. Stop stressing.
In high pressure situations if I start stressing I will think what is the worst that could happen and how could I bounce back from that. Once I see that I would still be ok and be able to come back from that difficulty... then the stress disappears. Then I start imagining what would it feel like to be successful and that gets me excited to continue towards my goals.
Stress is something that everyone deals with in their own ways but if you don't have an effective way to deal with it, feel free to try my method.

Tip of the DayBe passionate about your work. Passion will lead to bigger and better jobs. Everyone wants to work with passionate people.
Sending everyone positive vibes!

Tip of the Day: Making PlansAlways have a plan. At the very least it's a great start off point. Then look for fate to guide you in the right direction. The best plans are the ones that have room for adjustments.
Sending positive vibes to you all.

Tip of the Day: Beginning your daySketch as soon as you wake. You'll always have a good drawing day if you do.
I always found it to be harder to paint if I start painting in the afternoon instead of first thing in the morning.
Sending positive vibes to you all!

PS. Some people have mentioned in the last couple journal entries that I should write a book with advice for artists... I have. It's called "The Perfect Bait." More info here --> http://www.theperfectbait.com
Tip of the Day: Finding the right 'job'You know you love what you do when you can honestly say 'My "job" is not my job. it's who I am. Tell me why you love being an artist!
Tip of the DayThe best way to accomplish a goal is to have it on your mind all the time. Keep thinking about it until you obtain your goal.
Sending you all positive vibes!
Bobby
Tip of the Day: Understanding what you're doing.Always strive to understand more and more about what you are doing. I tend not to paint anything I don't understand or know how it's supposed to feel.
If you paint or draw something that you don't understand, anyone that does understand will know right away that you didn't.

Tip of the Week: VisualizingWhen you visualize the task before you do it, it makes it that much easier to accomplish and accomplished better. Especially for drawing and painting. Before I work on a film, I take about 10 or 20 minutes staring at something dark or close my eyes to try and visualize the movie before I start painting.
I believe that visualizing is the hardest and most powerful way to think. With conscious and persistent practice you can improve your ability to visualize.
See you soon Sao Paulo! http://www.melies.com.br/mega-palestra/programacao.html
Tip of the Day: Spending todayTip of the Day: Spending today
Here's a healthy thought to maximize your life. Imagine the number of days of your life were dependent on how you used each day.
How would you spend today? This doesn't mean to just work all day but instead to live every moment to the fullest whether during work or play or spending quality time with loved ones.
Sending positive vibes to everyone.
Bobby
Tip of the Day: Measuring SuccessI don't consider my work a success by how much the movie made in the theaters or if it won any Oscars. Success to me is measured by the amount of effort I put into the project.
You can't always control the outcome but you can control the amount of effort you give. Don't worry about things beyond your control.
Sending positive vibes to you all!
Bobby
Tip of the Day: Focusing on EffortSuccess is measured by how hard you try. Effort is something you can control. Be strong and keep that as your focus today.
Sending positive vibes to everyone!

It took me quite a while to figure this out. I can say that I have grown in the waiting period, though.
