Now that studioDK is up and running it’s time for me to get back on creating the content. And if you have taken a look through the studioDK galleries you will see that I have many different projects and work in multiple mediums. This can be very difficult because when ever I’m working on something, I tend to put my full attention and focus into that particular project. So when I’m finished with a project I find that my brain is scattered and I often experience a lull that can easily turn in to a rut. I lose momentum and I can start to feel depressed. This is a bad spot for me to be in. And what I’ve found to be a good remedy for me, is to engage myself into what I call a, ”brainless activity.”

What I mean by, “brainless activity,” is an activity that is free from the burden and weight of decision-making. When we make a decision there will be always some kind of result good or bad. And when I find my self in that place out of focus and sitting in indecision, which is usually a result of fear of a bad result, I need to do something that I know will have positive results. Activities like washing the dishes and working out are great cause there is very little or no decision making in the process and the result is always positive. As an artist drawing by copying from life, photos or drawings is great activity cause it exercises an artist’s skills with very little thinking and of course no decision making in what to draw. Copying from anatomy illustrations is a great way and you be surprise what you learn by osmosis. Even this blog can be an exercise in engaging in a “Brainless Activity”
