Snapshot from My Studio: October 13, 2018 at 11:39AM

I completely forgot today’s Inktober prompt, “unguarded,” while doing this Doodlecam (which you can watch in my Story or IGTV channel). But unguarded is exactly how we want to be while approaching our work in the creative sandbox! Let whatever comes out come out—“mistakes” and all. Don’t try to fix them, just flow with them. Treat them as offers; accept them and build on them.
🖍
That’s a foundational principle in the world of improv: accept and build. Often referred to as “Yes, and…”, it means to accept the reality of what’s in front of you, and build on that reality. When you can do that in life, at work, in your art, you are unstoppable!
🖍
And by the way, have you noticed that these doodles take under 10 minutes? “I don’t have time” is NOT AN EXCUSE! Pick up a pen, folks. Anyone can do this!
🖍
And if you’d like a longer dive into the creative sandbox with me, join me at my upcoming Creative Sandbox Community Virtual Playday! 🖍
It’s a birthday celebration 🎉 I’ll be making art and sharing my process on live, streaming video for TWO HOURS, so you can watch and listen, and make your own art right alongside me, and ask any questions you have. And it’s FREE! 🖍
You do need to register in advance, though. See link in my Instagram profile, or go to http://bit.ly/2CEGAwg
