 The biggest creativity problem I have ever faced is overthinking or too much ahead thinking. "Ok , so what next ? what if I have done this or what if I have done that ?" I tell myself. Let me think for my next idea while doing dishes for next half an hour. I always think. That half an hour becomes Half a day. And I get exhausted. I am trying to practice 'One thing at a time' . But it is difficult. I just want to slow down, silence my brain and leave the moment. These look like challenges. I am working on them along with the textured illustrations. I Love how this apple turned out. Working on that as well. I followed  reel tutorials by Jennifer Nichols - Leila & Po Studio  Till then .  I started getting that textured illustration style somewhat. Take Care, Sheetal Mulay www.sheetalmulay.com

I always wanted to learn 'Illustration with textures'. I was looking for all sort of tutorials and classes but not able to find a suitable one for myself. Then I came across these reel tutorials by Jennifer Nichols - Leila & Po Studio. And yes that was a style I was looking for. But there was a small problem, these were fall / autumn illustrations. And this is month of July. How on the earth I can draw these when it is not the correct season? I procrastinated. But the fact was , I wanted to learn that style badly. Does fall or spring really matter ? It may for some people but I definitely need to get that out of my mind. Rather than wasting 2/3 more months to wait for fall to come or after loosing interest in that style there is no point in drawing . So I finally decided to draw and post these now. That was a major roadblock overcame. Every small win matters. This pumpkin turned out exactly the way I wanted it.  I loved this texture on illustration...
