There doesn’t go a day when I don’t have a cup of coffee next to me when I am creating art.
Recently I have started drawing in my anime style again. I really don’t know why I stopped but I made a decision to create more anime as I have been told that I do it well.
I need lots of practice though, lots and lots because I have lost my mojo.
Now there is one thing that I always have near me when I am drawing and that is my constant stream of coffee. Am I the only one who does this? Do you have a special thing that you have to have when you are creating art?
I have loved coffee since the age of about 16 and my tastes have definitely changed over the years. Nowadays I always choose ethically sourced coffee and a 100% vegan-friendly one at that. I have developed a taste for Aurile Focus coffee, which I drink twice a day. One in the morning when I am looking for inspiration to create some art. The other is in the afternoon while I am drawing or painting.
This week I was practising some anime style and the coffee helped me to keep my mind focused on what I was doing without wandering off on a tangent like it sometimes does.
I would love to hear from you about what keeps you focussed when you are being creative. Let me know in the comments below.
