He llo Sweet Peeps!!

Art is what comes from your heart. Anything that you create using your imagination or your skills or your knowledge could be called Art ! Cooking is an art and so is writing and so is being able to do the bottle flip thing that the youngsters do now a days.You just need to put your heart to it.

I always liked to sit with my colour pencils and my A4 sized drawing books and be the first one to finish the drawing assignments that were given by my art teachers. I was their pet and I loved the appreciation that I used to get for my paintings.Although I became a working professional in another domain completely I still feel creating art and painting is my calling.

With my busy schedule and commitments I lost touch with my artistic side. But I would like to revive it once again one baby step at a time .. Sure I might have to juggle between my day job and my personal goal but can already taste the fruits that I might reap after my hard work pays off 🙂

Now while I work on my sketching and painting skills, I would love to help you peeps along the way too .. I have created one basic rule and that is .. One Baby Step At A Time .. For Everything .. This is for those who really would like to bust their stress but are very busy in their hectic schedules or lack the motivation or the time required. And trust me this will work for any kind of artwork.

The one mistake that any potential artist makes due to which he or she gives up easily is that they start their creative projects without knowing whether they would be able to finish it or not. End result being dropping the projects midway or sloppiness at the end in order to just finish it for the heck of it !

I was no different ! But i decided to take baby steps in order to accomplish the “I am content with my creation” feeling that I had not felt in quite a long time. I bought small sized sketch pads and started sketching on them for not more than 30 minutes in a day. Finishing the sketch in those 30 minutes was not my goal . But i did want to see it completed and feel proud of it so I used minimal material to highlight it so that i do not get hassled by trying to manage the paints and the brushes and the cleaning and the drying and blah blah .. I used only sketching pencils and marker pens and finished my artwork in not more than 2 days .. yay !.. Now you have to keep in mind I am a full time 9 to 9 pm working professional. My desire to keep my talent alive was achieved tremendously with these baby steps that I took every day. This has formed into a habit for me now.

To summarise take three Baby Sized Steps to Revive your Inner Artist ..

Pick Baby Size Surfaces Select Baby number of materials And .. keep a Baby timer
