Daily ASMR

Inspiration can and does come from anywhere. Just roll with it. Even if it is in a different direction than you would usually go. Just entertain the thought and see where it leads. Sometimes it can be so freeing to break the mould and try something new.

Take this pattern for example, yep, still a repetitive pattern but, I have been focusing on geometric designs, aztec inspired designs and 3D geometric shapes. The inspiration for this pattern came from the wire binding on the very book I have been drawing in this last month. It turned out to be a simplified repeated pattern in fun and funky colours, but it started out as a random thought.

Daily ASMR

Did you know all artists suffer from imposter syndrome from time to time? No-one is immune. You just get the feeling that your last art piece was your best and you will never create something that good again. Or, maybe there is a creative block. You don't know what ti create next or where to begin. This can happen in other areas of your life too.

You open the fridge and see it full of fresh food but you don't know what to have for lunch. Getting ready to catch up with friends but can't decide what to wear... A simple way to flip the switch and get out of that funky slump is to create something less than great, on purpose. Get out a pen and some paper and grid up the page then lay down a simple, average pattern. Don't think too hard about the colours or the end product. Just get it done. Now that you have that out of your system, your next decision has to be a better one. Right?

Daily ASMR

Sometimes your brain just asks for something simple. Just a series of lines. Nothing fancy. Just nice, neat, evenly spaced, straight lines. Sometimes your brain just needs a visual representation of your goals. A kind of road map. Where are you now, where are you headed, and how will you get there? No words needed. Just lines. This can be expressed through colour.

By using fairly neutral colours you can shoe the evolution of your journey without assigning specific emotions to the steps along the way. For example, in this pattern I have a large block of white lines moving across the center of the page. This represents where I am now, at peace with new beginnings and a little innocent as I step into new territory. At the edges of whitewe have grey, I know that I need to remain balanced and will need to compromise, which will grow my wisdom and maturity. And then finally at the corners I have black. This is where I am headed, to power, elegance and sophistication. There is no clear path. I can take any line I want.

Daily ASMR

Have you ever looked at a painting and been drawn in by the colour? Or maybe you tend to reach for the same colours in your wardrobe? Do you sometimes feel like your emotions have colours? Kinda like the characters in the Disney Pixar movie, Inside Out. Joy is yellow, Anger is red...

Colour can be used to represent how we feel, it can also be used to influence our mood and decision making.

If you feel like you need to shift your mood, why not try creating a pattern of colour blocked shapes. Here I have created two patterns that use similar colours. They represent cooler colours on the colour wheel. Purple is often associated with creativity, pleasure, wisdom and spirituality. Blue evokes feelings of calm, stability, trust and focus, while green is often used to represent renewal, contentment, growth and freshness.

Can you guess what I was going for here? I was creating these patterns to relieve overwhelm and stress. The large shapes and saturated colours suggest a calmer mood and fresh start in a simple, yet visually pleasing way.
