I'm a big fan of using mental frameworks to help you achieve greater things. One framework called 3-3-3 does this.

This framework has been mentioned by Daniel Sjöstedt, Oliver Burkerman, and Sahil Bloom.

I adapted and changed the framework so that it's relevant to artists and will help you become a better artist.

3-3-3 Method for Artists (Improving Drawing or Painting)

Spend 3 hours on your most important artistic project.

• Dedicate this time to the piece of art that means the most to you, whether it's a painting, sketch, or any other form of art. This could be a personal project or a commissioned piece. The key is uninterrupted, focused work.

Complete 3 shorter artistic tasks you've been avoiding.

• These could be:

  1. Sketching a quick study of an object or scene.

  2. Trying out a new art technique you've read about.

  3. ​Organizing your art supplies or cleaning your brushes.

Work on 3 maintenance activities related to your art.

• These activities ensure you're well-rounded in your artistic journey:

  1. Spend time researching art history or studying the works of a particular artist.

  2. Update your art portfolio or website.​

  3. Engage with the art community, whether it's attending a workshop, joining an online forum, or visiting a gallery.

By following this 3-3-3 framework, you can ensure you're making meaningful progress in your art, tackling tasks you might otherwise avoid, and maintaining a holistic approach to your artistic development.
