Vix in Japan's video: How I beat artists block and procrastination in 5 minutes

If you're anything like me, one of your biggest demons is procrastination or artists block. Over the time I have lived in Japan I have developed a super easy way to beat this block and get over wasted time procrastinating in as little as 5 minutes using a sketchbook trick that both allows me to get on with creating but also improve my skills in bitesized chunks that are having big impacts on my ability and confidence to draw my manga and tackle the ideas in my imagination. I did say I wasn't going to create inspiration videos a while back maybe to just myself; as I am pretty much done trying to teach per se, as I feel rather selfishly at the moment I have spent a life espousing my passion for things through teaching but now I need some time to myself to develop for myself rather than standing still. But here it is, an inspiration video to get you out of a deadlock. I explain how small sketches can both remove the dread of starting something and how they can rapidly improve your skills, and some advice on how I feel about social media pressure in a world where we can be easily overwhelmed by what we see. Instead, I want you to realize that unique magic you have within you gifted to you by the universe, that would be a tragic shame to not see you manifest in your creativity and/or expression in life. -- You can read my debut manga Future Saviors for free here: https://linktr.ee/futuresaviors You can help support the channel, artwork and my manga Future Saviors in many ways: *Patreon:* https://patreon.com/pixel_vixen from $2 a month *Ko-fi:* https://ko-fi.com/pixel_vixen *Future Saviors, Retro Gaming & Japan Merch/Photos on RedBubble Store*: https://tinyurl.com/y543sbsy *Instagram*: https://www.instagram.com/stories/pixel_vixen_in_japan *Tees on Amazon including Future Saviors merch, the Amiga, Super Nintendo/Famicom, Mega Drive, Commodore 64 and more pixel art designs:* UK: https://tinyurl.com/y4bmp9x9 USA: https://tinyurl.com/y3url56k DE: https://tinyurl.com/y52plesh FR: https://amazon.fr/dp/B08JJ485KM IT: https://amazon.it/dp/B08JJ4MMB5 ES: https://amazon.es/dp/B08JJ5QMSK Sorry - not all countries I'd like to offer them through are supported yet by Amazon.
