Lisa Bardot, Procreate Artist and Brush Designer
Episode 36

Take Lisa's class, Imaginative Map-Making in Procreate on Skillshare — Use this link to get 30 days free! — https://skl.sh/3z8zI9a
Join in on my conversaion with Lisa Bardot, who teaches people how to make art on their iPad. But that job description is deceivingly simple. She may be best known for her vast catalogue of analogue inspired procreate brushes, aka Bardot Brush. (She’s kind of the Kyle T. Webster of procreate brushes). But she also teaches making digital online in places like Skillshare, YouTube and her own membership platform called Art Maker’s Club. She also runs in-person art trips — her most recent one being in France. If that weren’t enough, she’s also the author of a brand new book called Drawing Digital, The Complete Guide for Learning to Draw and Paint on Your iPad, AND she even provides monthly prompt lists for inspiration-seeking artists, which she calls Make Art Every Day. Lisa has created an entire universe of creativity and community around her passion for drawing and illustrating in Procreate. I really think she’s a perfect guest for the podcast, as she embodies the whole ethos of this podcast of showing up everyday and growing through it, no matter what (and thriving because of it).

Becoming an Accidental Expert with Kyle T. Webster (Part 1 of 2)
Episode 27
mardi 13 février 2024 • Duration 01:07:48
Take my class COMPOSITION FOR ILLUSTRATORS! Use this link and get 1 month free on Skillshare! — https://skl.sh/3TLdkeh
I'm excited to share with you part 1 of a 2-part conversation I had with illustrator and pioneering digital brush-maker, Kyle T. Webster. Kyle is the guy behind the many, many digital illustration brushes (2,400 and counting) that come bundled with Adobe Photoshop and Fresco. In this episode we talk about his beginnings as an aspiring illustrator many years ago, and how he slowly but steadily built up a small empire around his digital brushes — which have no doubt shaped the world of digital illustration as we know it today. We have a wide ranging conversation that touches on things like:
- Building up an illustration portfolio when you haven't had any clients yet
- Why working in different styles can make good business sense
- What Kyle means when he calls himself an Accidental Expert
- What Kyle finds most meaningful in his work and career, besides drawing or making brushes
- Why making Creativity a way of life is necessary to building up a successful career
- And much, much more!

How to Love Your Work Again
Episode 25
mardi 16 janvier 2024 • Duration 34:05
Support the Thoughts on Illustration Podcast at http://patreon.com/tomfroese
Have you hit a dead end with your work? Are you bored of your style? Or maybe, like me, you feel even worse about the art you've been making lately? This past year has brought a few blows to my professional and personal creativity, and at the end of 2023, I was feeling pretty crappy about my own work. I've come to this point many times in my career, and usually I just shrug it off and keep going. But this time was different. In this episode I talk about how I was able to climb out of a hole of artistic despair and rekindle my love affair with my work. By listening to this episode, I hope you will learn how to rediscover the joy in your own practice. If it hasn't happened to you yet — listen to this one and put it in your back pocket. 😉
Listen all the way to the end, where I share some additional thoughts on the connection between our process and reclaiming our joy amidst our concerns of Artificial Intelligence taking over our jobs.

REPLAY: Good News for Slow Workers
Episode 23
mardi 19 décembre 2023 • Duration 59:54
Take The 6 Stages of Illustration: Leading Clients Through Your Art - Use this link to get 30 days free on Skillshare. https://skl.sh/3LxzI4I
REPLAY: As I struggle to get my next class published before the end of the year, this episode (originally published as Episode 14) is particularly relevant. Whether you're listening for the first time or you're hearing it again, I truly believe it's worth hearing this message.
Do you ever feel like everything takes YOU longer than everyone else? In this episode, talk about what it’s been like for me as a slow worker. What kinds of things have slowed me down, and how have I been able to thrive as a successful illustrator in spite of them. So if you’re a slowpoke trying to figure out why it just takes so long to get things done, this one is for you.
I’m going talk about why I think there are two kinds of slow — good slow and bad slow — and why we should embrace the former and try to change the latter. And of course, I’ll give you some ways to do both. How can you embrace the things about your work that you maybe wish would go faster, and how you can change some of the things that truly get in your creative way.
By the end of this episode, I hope that you’ll feel permitted to give yourself the time you need to do your best work — and to defend that time when it comes under question by yourself — or by others.

IN THIS EPISODE
Hook - Teachers in art school making us feel like we have to work fast or die in the design industry
Chapter 1: Slow is Faster Than Stuck
- Good slow vs. Bad slow
- Good - Slow for the right reasons
- Just necessary part of the process
- Bad - Slow for the wrong reasons
- Something negative getting in my way
- Why this episode: to help you overcome anxiety and frustration we feel when we feel like things take longer than they should
- Story: Rebranding a company without any experience
Chapter 2: Slow for the Right Reasons
- Some things just take time
- Examples: Baking cookies, making wine, waiting for paint to dry
- For me: My process
- Reasons for Slow
- Conceptual reasons
- Technical reasons
- Maybe we're just not good at it (not a bad thing)
- Short deadlines: NOT inevitable
- Pick Two: Good/Fast/Cheap — sounds good in theory, but is Good ever an option?
- Takeaways:
- Some things just take time
- Build these into your process
- There is always a struggle to get to the eureka moment
- We learn how to avoid things that slow us down the most
- Short deadlines are a CHOICE!
Chapter 3: Slow for the Wrong reasons
- Things that take our time but don't need to
- AKA Pitfalls
- Examples
- Trying to go directly over a mountain, rather than around it
- Baking without a recipe
- Reasons
- Trying to take shortcuts that end up taking longer
- Not following a step by step process
- Avoiding outside feedback
- Analysis paralysis
- Solutions
- Embrace the long way. Building a solid foundation takes more time up front but saves time down the road.
- Develop a process through practice over time, and then stick to it.
- Swallow your pride, be brave, share your mid-process work even though you don't want to!
- Start with very simple tasks you know you can do. Then do the next right thing, and the next. One thing at a time.

Where do ideas come from? How do illustrators, artists and designers get their best ideas? Is it in a stroke of inspiration like a bolt of lightning? Do they mediate for as long as it takes until the perfect idea to appear in their heads? In this episode, we explore how ideas find their into our heads and onto the page and beyond. In Chapter 1 we look into what it means to "get" an idea. Then in Chapter 2, I share my 6 stage process for how to come up with ideas whether or not lighting strikes.

In this episode we continue our deep dive into the world of Copyright for Illustrators! In this series, we talk about what copyright is, how it relates to licensing and pricing our work, and ultimately, the right to use our work for self-promotion. I also share the results of that project I mentioned in the last episode: did it get selected or not? Will you ever get to see this work, that I'm so proud of? This is Part 2 of 2. Be sure to start with Episode 19 if you haven't already!
By listening to this episode, you'll learn:
- What your rights are where it comes to owning and controlling your artwork
- Why you may not be pricing your illustrations high enough
- What copyright means in NORMAL, EVERYDAY English
- Why you should ALWAYS fight for your right to use your work for self promotion
