From 'I Have To' to 'I Want To'! Building a Career in Art with Croquis - The Posemaniacs Guide

Consistency is key to improving your art. Let's use short, daily croquis sessions as a stepping stone to build a sustainable practice without feeling overwhelmed.

It's hard to be consistent if you're not having fun. I'll share the creative tips and methods I personally use to keep the drawing process enjoyable.

Based on my own career, I'll show you how consistent croquis practice builds foundational skills that become your greatest asset—leading to faster work, higher quality, the ability to view your own art objectively, and the versatility to handle any kind of job.

In illustration, "good drawing" isn't about rigid accuracy. It's the ability to create "appealing forms" that fit your personal art style. Croquis is the perfect way to master this sense of what "feels right."

Simply put, it's the ability to define a form using only its outline. Honing this skill through croquis will dramatically speed up your process for creating rough sketches.

The faster you can create illustrations, the more work you can take on, which directly leads to higher income. This is incredibly important for making a living as an artist.
