Tip for Today: When to give up?Never give up just because you don't think you're good enough. We've all had our doubts in life. Successful people do not give up easily. We must prepare and prepare again, try your very hardest and then about 50% more that you didn't know you had consistently, then keep going twice as long as you ever thought you would or could. Look for more knowledge and try again.
Favorite this if you're with me! Have an awesome Friday.
Sending positive vibes to you all.

Tip of the Day: Sharing KnowledgeDon't be afraid to share your knowledge. You'll learn even more through teaching what you know.
Not just that but I feel that people who share, end up gravitating towards others that like to share.
Sending positive vibes to you all!

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!

Tip of the Day: ConcentrationAn essential ability for success is to bend your concentration towards the things that matter the most.
Punch your mental distractions in the face and start concentrating on what matters.
If it's a loved one that is distracting you, don't punch them... just ask them to give you time to concentrate

Sending positive vibes to you all!

Tip of the Day: is it memorable?In this ever growing art community (especially online) it gets harder and harder to be noticed. You will be noticed when your art and/or the idea behind your art is unique.
Think about how memorable your art is. If it looks like a million other things, no one is going to remember it.
Sending positive vibes to you all!

Tip of the Day: Mental BlindersSometimes you really have to just shut your brain off after making a good decision and just do it. Too many times we find that we know what to do but just don't do it. Today, come to a decision that is something you KNOW is a good one, then put on the mental blinders and just FOCUS on that task.
I think part of what success I've achieved so far has come from being able to focus on one thing for long periods of time like Forrest Gump.
Sending positive vibes to you all!

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.

Tip of the Day: ComparingDon't compare your life to others. See what others are doing but the best person to compare yourself to is you.
If I always compared myself to others and wanted to constantly compete or beat others, I wouldn't want to share what I know.
Everyone is on their own journey but together we can get further and faster.
Have a great Monday!
Sending positive vibes to you all

Tip of the Day: CuriosityKeep learning. Stay curious. Always give it your all and great things will happen. Make it part of your lifestyle to constantly keep learning, studying, practicing. The world is changing faster then ever. It's important to change with it if you don't want to be left behind. Be a 'student' of life and stay curious.
Sending positive vibes to you all!

Tip of the Day: PartneringThe theater of life is not a one man show. You don't have to do it alone. Bigger things happen when you find good people to work with.
Sending positive vibes to you all!
Bobby

Tip of the Day: the StruggleLearn to enjoy the struggle. Our most memorable goals we achieve in our lives are always extra special because of the many hardships we had to endure before succeeding. Those memories will be some of your fondest when you're successful. So take sometime to live in the moment and enjoy the struggle before achieving bigger and better things.
Sending positive vibes to you all!
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: Focus inFocus in on all the great reasons to want to succeed. It will warm up your brain to keep it in a strong state of motivation!
Sending positive vibes to you all!
Bobby

Tip of the day: Spend time wiselyA lot of times the most important things in life take about the same time as the unimportant things. What is something important that you can do more of? What's something that you can do less of?
Sending positive vibes to you all!
Bobby

A trait of a 'good artists' is that they keep drawing and painting long after others would have stopped. Press "Favorite" if you plan on painting or drawing today!

I remember reading an artist's comments on a picture and in it said, "I hadn't drawn for a year when I drew this", and I was like, holy cow! How did she survive, XD

Well, maybe not drawing for drawing sake, but definitely drawing to design new textile patterns. I really appreciate your tips, even if our art is different medium wise, I always feel better about my craft. Thank you

Does... it count if you paint the pictures in your head? Even though you're physically unable to make it appear.
