5 tips to make illustrated recipes
Lets draw and illustrate like theres no tomorrow!
Or well. Actually, there sure is a tomorrow. Because thats when my online workshop
on illustrating recipes and drawing food is starting!
1. Keep it simple when youre drawing.
A recycled piece of cardboard, white paint and a black fineliner can get you a long way.
2.
3. Draw your food to get a daily routine of making art.
Youre eating every day anyway, right?
4.
5. Submit your recipe to TheyDrawAndCook.com
You can do it!
Like these three previous participants did for example:

How to make progress not excuses
Do you ever make up excuses?
Sure you do. And thats fine. We all do. The traffic has been crazy, the weather conditions awful, the dog ate our homework... |

What about Making Art? Yes, I use capitals for the two words, just to make it worse. There is this invisible threshold to start, even though you know how good it makes you feel, when youre creating something. And its not even about the result, just the process of Making Art itself is satisfying enough. Yes, we have busy lives. And yes, some days can be super hectic. But really, is it an excuse to not do what you love? |
Easier said than done, huh? Because maybe you feel like your art isnt as awesome as it should be. You try drawing things that you see and then the drawing turns out to be all wonky, the perspective is off, or youre bored with drawing the same stuff over and over again, because you only draw inside your home. Because heading outside to draw feels way too intimidating and scary. Or youd like to be able to draw people, but mess up their faces and hands every time you try. Sounds familiar? |

In fitness, theres this saying: "Excuses dont burn calories". The Just Do It approach is straight forward, and makes you move forward. Because after all, even if you fall flat on your face, youre still moving forward!
So lets go and make awesome art!
