How To Get Your 'Art Brain' Back / Getting Out of an Artistic Slump / for Animation / Russ Edmonds

Whether you are an animator, illustrator, storyboard artist, or any other type of artist, we all face the dreaded artist's block. I will walk you through my process and show you how to push past the block and get you back on the right track to making great art again. So don’t panic! Sit back and watch this video, and unlock that drawing block curse and get your 'art brain' working again. I will be drawing on a Wacom tablet in Photoshop, but you can use a sketchbook. No tricky tools needed. Learn from a traditional Disney Animator how to observe, understand, sketch, and animate. Understand animal anatomy and then take an in-depth look at Russ’s animation process. ____________________ Subscribe to my channel for more animation and art videos: YOUTUBE:    / @russedmondsanimation   For more in-depth chalk talks, tutorials, and live webinars, please join me and my art community on PATREON:) PATREON:   / russedmondsanimation   If you would like to see my artwork visit: INSTAGRAM:   / russ.edmonds   I animate with the animation app RoughAnimator: https://www.roughanimator.com/ I use Adobe Photoshop for storyboarding, drawing, and painting: https://www.adobe.com/ I use Wacom Cintiq's for digital drawing: https://www.wacom.com/ ____________________ Producer: Angela Edmonds Filmed at my ranch and studio.
