Getting out of the “art slump” + DTIYS✨

Hey there guys!

You might have noticed that I didn’t have a blog post come out last month…. This Summer has been an especially crazy one (aren’t all Summers a little bit crazy?😉) My family and I have been making some big transitions. Even though we are still in the middle of these transitions, I have a little something for you this month!

To be honest, the busyness of this past month, made it a challenge to be as creative as I would have liked to. Not to mention, after I finish one big creative project (more about that here), I find it difficult to dive back into another project whether big or small.

One of the best ways I’ve found to help me get out of the “creative funk”, are DTIYS art challenges. What is a DTIYS you may ask?… A DTIYS art challenge is a draw this in your style challenge where you take a piece of art that has already been made, and you re-create it in your own drawing style.

Here’s a recent example of mine:

The inspo
My re-creation

Taking a break from pressing projects and deadlines to re-create a fun and lowkey illustration always gets me back into my love of illustrating!

If this is something that you want to try or have done in the past, post your inspo picture and your re-creation in the comments- we would love to see!!!!

Thanks for reading!
