Every artists of every level needs help with art-block at some point. This blog aims to make going around that block a million times easier.

Background on the author
My name is Kristin, and I’m currently a college student studying animation. I have been drawing since I could hold a pencil, and have found that I produce more and better work when around other creatives. About 2 years ago, I realized that I can create a career out of my drawings instead of enjoying art simply as a hobby. I decided that if I am to go after a career in concept illustration, I need to look outside of college courses and take my education into my own hands.
After doing some searching on my own when I struggled through an art-block, I realized I had to search several sites to find an idea that worked for me. With this blog, I compile everything I have found and melt it into one giant mixing pot for other artists to use.
