  • i gotta say you guys i kind of feel like  i look like a garden gnome but i'm really  

  • enjoying this look as of late hi everyone it's  King Kogi aka Martina aka King Kogi which one  

  • comes first no one's sure in 2021 i sharedvideo about how i was going to start creating  

  • a cookbook since then i've been puttering away  at it and as i promised in that video i didn't  

  • want to show you just like an end product  i wanted to show you these steps in between  

  • about how it takes me to actually get there my  reason still being i think in this current day  

  • and age we're kind of like flooded with tons  of amazing artists and amazing creations and  

  • it can make you feel really low confident like  you don't even want to start a project because  

  • you're like how can i do anything this good  how can i create anything like this and it can  

  • feel quite intimidating but i can assure you if  you were to see the behind the scenes of people  

  • learning fumbling their rough drawings their  stressed out moments their moments of being like  

  • why i'm a horrible artist i think you'd feel a lot  more confident enter Martina allow me to be the  

  • person that you watch fumble however this video is  not about how i fumble and fail it's about how i  

  • plan for a long term project i've got around six  Martina Methods that i'd like to share with you  

  • and i'm not some kind of professional plannerhope you can get something out of them and you can  

  • get started on doing something new it's a fresh  year everything ahead of us is fresh depending  

  • on when you're watching this video you're watching  it in like December 2022 it's almost a fresh year  

  • know your unhelpful environments when you first  get started at tackling a new idea or a project  

  • you really need to be in a good  mindset you need to know themselves  

  • some things can put you in a really short mood and  cause you to lose focus or even the goal that you  

  • want to do and you just just give up here's what  i mean roll the footage other me so on some days  

  • i can happily go onto instagram in the morning  and i can browse i love to browse people cooking  

  • i find it really inspiring it gets me hyped  and then i want to cook something new i want to  

  • grocery shopping the same thing for youtube videos  and cookbooks if i watch other people cooking  

  • i get really excited and i'm like i want to cook  something too but if it's a day that i plan on  

  • drawing instagram is not the ideal environment  for me i'm actually pretty low confident about  

  • my drawing skills when i see all the other  amazing illustrators and drawers out there  

  • i really just feel crap and i completely like lose  my mojo and it is not a helpful environment for me  

  • hence the whole no thine self now i can watch  something like bullet journaling or people  

  • drawing live i really enjoy i think seeing  the process of beginning to end it doesn't  

  • make me feel so i don't know like hopeless and  stupid for some reason but for me personally  

  • i understand that instagram can be a helpful  environment depending on what i need it to be  

  • and it can be a super unhelpful environment ifneed to do something like get hyped up for drawing  

  • another helpful environment for me is being  in a cafe i love editing or drawing or doing  

  • other things like that that are creative  in cafes but i have to have headphones  

  • if i don't have headphones i can find it a lot  more distracting like i can't get into the focus  

  • so being in a cafe can be helpful but i need  to make sure that i have my headphones with  

  • me in order to have the correct music on some  music is really distracting for me i can't focus  

  • other music is really really good for me to get  into the groove helpful so i know that itself  

  • a cafe with headphones and the correct music  is great for me to get going while my sister  

  • has said if she tries to read a book in a cafe  she finds herself really interested in people  

  • watching which i also love to do and she can't  actually read her book so that's an unhelpful  

  • environment for her to try to finish that goal  when we were in university i would go to cafes  

  • to study with certain music on it would help me  focus well going to like a quiet place like a  

  • library would make me feel super sleepy and  bored it's like i needed people around me  

  • to get me inspired to do things but not so much  that i can hear them and listen in knowing thine  

  • self and understanding yourself what is a helpful  and unhelpful environment is super important

  • and now here is a word of warning it is very  easy to get influenced by other people's opinions  

  • as to what is helpful and unhelpful i have had  many discussions with people about things like  

  • the morning there are some people who just get up  early and they go for a jog and clear their mind  

  • and they feel like i'm so focused and they can get  tons of work done and it's disgusting and i hate  

  • you just joking well for me i tend to be a kind of  night owl it can be very confusing to some people  

  • that i get energy in the evening it's like i'm  mopey and sluggish throughout the day but then  

  • in the evening i sometimes get a lot of energy  i'm ready to like write or be creative or film  

  • that's just the way that i am and i had to accept  that about myself instead of trying to force  

  • myself to work at a particular time of course i'm  not talking about your job i'm talking about a  

  • creative project that you want to take on that's  something that you're doing on your free time so  

  • whether it be working on the weekends and you've  got midweek free or you've got to work during  

  • the midweek and you've got the weekend free you  need to figure out what environment what time  

  • of day is helpful for you and if you're a filthy  early morning riser please don't judge my night  

  • owl routine thank you so much part of my method  to getting my project finished is taking notes  

  • some people will purchase a notebook and they will  kind of fill it out beginning to end not the case  

  • for me i don't know what it is i just know things  self i will have a notebook i will fill out maybe  

  • three pages maybe eight pages maybe maybe half  of it and then if i have a new idea for something  

  • like i want to work on a cookbook i can't put  it in the same notebook i don't know why i don't  

  • understand it i have to go get a new notebook and  that's why i usually buy things from the dollar  

  • shop because i'm not gonna spend sixty dollars on  some beautiful leather cover book which i'm never  

  • gonna fully fill out and then sometimes i go back  to the other notebook because i feel like oh that  

  • notebook is my notebook for writing recipes but  that notebook is my notebook for like taking notes  

  • on things currently i have like five notebooks on  the go i think ideas and creativity it's kind of  

  • like a flowing river right it's like constantly  moving and every once in a while something will  

  • bubble up like a fish farting in the water and if  you don't capture that it will wash away down the  

  • river never for you to think of again it's like  a really good fortune cookie analogy isn't it but  

  • for real i'm sure there are tons of ideas you've  had or goals or like something you wanted to do  

  • but if you don't like write it down somehow it's  going to be gone i'm a pen and paper kind of gal  

  • you may not be know thine self perhaps you enjoy  taking your thoughts and writing them digitally  

  • some people prefer the feeling  of typing things out onto notes  

  • i can do that in my like second stage but in  my initial stage i need to kind of write and  

  • flow maybe draw doodles in the borders this is  how i kind of remember or form what i'm doing  

  • i think the creative stage is a very delicate  stage maybe i'm just like a delicate fragile  

  • already person but it needs to be really  like whatever's coming out just take it  

  • put it out there's no danger right there's no  danger in writing out creative ideas you just do  

  • it don't smush them out by logic or confine them  i consider the pen and paper stage of planning  

  • something that you should be planning kind of like  big and not narrowing it down creativity can be  

  • really killed super fast by being like oh this  won't work and then you kind of feel hopeless  

  • and you're like well then forget it you can trim  it down later so if you have an idea like you're  

  • like i want to make a video game for a phone  let's say you've never made a video game you  

  • don't have a code you're not a graphic designer  whatever don't think about those steps yet your  

  • book or on your computer or on your phone wherever  it is that you're enjoying your flow you write it  

  • out i want to make a video game i want this video  game to be about pigs and like the pigs can fly  

  • but like only when they have enough candy in their  hearts does it help them i just made that up you  

  • write that down then either on the same day or on  a totally different day you look at it critically  

  • that's the time period for you to go okay well  what do i need to do to achieve this not when  

  • you're coming up with the idea so now you want  to look at the stuff that you've thought out that  

  • you want to do that's when you can start applying  your kind of logical stage to it and you're moving  

  • out of like the method stage and into like more  planning you might need to take a course to learn  

  • how to do it you might need to read a book you  might need to hire somebody so it is excellent  

  • timing that i get to say thank you to skillshare  for sponsoring this video i am currently taking  

  • a bunch of courses on skillshare for the goal  of completing my cookbook so last year i took  

  • a lettering course on skillshare because my  lettering skills suck and they are definitely  

  • better after this course so if you don't know  already skillshare is an online learning community  

  • and it has thousands of inspiring classes so  basically skillshare combines video lessons  

  • then there's class projects hands-on feedback and  you have these little short lessons that can fit  

  • any schedule the topics are like illustration  design photography video editing freelancing  

  • music production and more and the first 1 000  subscribers to click my link in the info box  

  • will get one free trial month of skillshare so the  class i'm taking is called the style class work  

  • out your illustration style in a daily project and  it's extremely helpful because it's basically like  

  • having a lecture from an art professor i didn't  go to art school so i'm really lacking kind of the  

  • foundations and understandings of how to organize  my brain and thoughts to create something like a  

  • cookbook because there's a lot of moving parts so  i'm really finding this extremely helpful i hope  

  • you guys get a chance to take a course if you can  i mean give it it's one month so hopefully you'll  

  • be one of the 1000 to click on this link but yes  taking courses and and changing your skill level  

  • is really important and part of the long project  plan you can instantly get good at something

  • interestingly tom frost he is a canadian  illustrator i didn't know that he's in vancouver  

  • bc and what's really crazy about this is that when  i was back in canada i went to canadian tire with  

  • my mom and we bought like christmas crackers and  they were canadian designs like they were really  

  • cool and on the outside of them there was like  these little um canadian people like a canadian  

  • santa and like a hockey player and stuff andlove them so much that i kept the cutout this year  

  • so it's literally tom frost's design i had no  idea so it was so crazy because as i'm taking  

  • this course i'm like this is so familiar and i'm  like wait a second on the back of his wall he has  

  • designs and i like rushed over i took this off the  christmas cracker to bring it with me i like this  

  • design so much organizing your likes and your  dislikes so i've talked a little bit about my  

  • methods i've talked about my courses and now i'm  moving on to some of my favorite apps and tools  

  • that i'm using i find pinterest to be a very  good tool to use for distinguishing things that  

  • you like and you dislike understanding what you  really dislike and what you like will help quicken  

  • up that's not a phrase is it will help quicken up  the process make the process faster will help make  

  • your thinking and design plan process faster than  the sentence that i just said so for example i  

  • have a particular color palette thatuse the aquas the blues and the purples  

  • of the whole king kogi world help to limit me  and also speed up my decision making process  

  • so i like pinterest because you can kind of  organize your likes and dislikes really easily  

  • it's upgraded a lot since the last time i used it  which was like i think in university and i'm like  

  • i'm done with pinterest but now you can make  these little like pinned boards on your phone  

  • or on your computer so for example let's say i'm  working on a cookbook i need to think of different  

  • border designs i need to think of different  examples of a comic book page i just wildly  

  • go through and go like oh i like this i like  this i like this and when i don't like something  

  • that's equally as important and this will come  up later on when i look it over whether you're  

  • making a book or drawing or planning to make  a new website or to start a blog or to design  

  • a shirt or to make a new beer label or to sew  whatever it is you're gonna find it on pinterest

  • organizing grand scales with digital whiteboards  so miro is a really helpful app that i use it is  

  • a digital whiteboard and the reason why that's  fantastic is because you can put it on your  

  • phone on your ipad on your computer it can come  with you anywhere you go and it's good for a  

  • collaboration so if you've got friends that  you're working with or colleagues that live  

  • in a different part of the world or in a different  time zone they can log on and use the same  

  • whiteboard as you like they can add to it while  you're sleeping so i use it to organize a lot  

  • of things on my projects um when it comes to the  likes and dislikes this is a good time for this so  

  • you kind of put all your stuff together  you take all the things that you like  

  • and you lay them down and then you go well  why do i like this well i like this because  

  • the color is really smooth looking or oh  i really like because i like polka dots or  

  • i really like this because it's quite crispy  and clear you have to think about why you like  

  • something and equally take a couple things that  you don't like and explain why you don't like it  

  • you know like i don't like this shade of orange or  this feels really crowded or i don't like the way  

  • this is too realistic like whatever it is you have  to kind of figure out why you don't like something  

  • then you can actually look at everything and it  starts to narrow down the things that you want to  

  • do the colors that you want to use the patterns  that you like the way you like your animations  

  • to look whatever it is it starts to narrow it  down it's like almost like the reverse like  

  • looking at the negative stuff helps bring up the  stuff that you want to do they both work together  

  • physical whiteboard is great as well you can have  a whiteboard in your home or a magnetic board and  

  • you can like you know pin things up but because  i do a lot of stuff in the digital world like  

  • screenshotting things and looking at ideas and  taking things off my phone it's like a bit easier  

  • to organize it all there so lots of people ask  me what i use to do my designs like whether it's  

  • you know kinkogee stuff or my shirts whatever it  is i've been doing i use an app called procreate  

  • it's a digital illustration app depending on  where you live in the world it costs about 10  

  • to 15 which i think is a pretty good deal it's not  yearly you just buy it and it's yours lately you  

  • might have seen those little tiny gifts or gifs  depending on how you say it if you're a monster  

  • i'm gonna write a whole kids series about people  that get up in the morning happily willingly don't  

  • drink coffee or tea and say gifs and it'll  be like a really scary book for little kids

  • it's only for apple products so if you  have android i am sorry i'm sure there  

  • are some other things out there which people will  probably share in the comment section please do  

  • it's pretty simple and it also has  a lot of like tricky and sneaky  

  • little things that are super helpful like if  you're drawing an arch and you hold down the  

  • pen and you don't move it it will smooth it out  into a perfect shape this is super helpful for  

  • me because i draw a lot on the trains or inbus which means when i'm drawing it'll be like  

  • and i hold it down creates the arch for me  perfectly there are a ton of tutorials on  

  • skillshare lots of classes to teach you how to  use procreate so if you've never used it before  

  • i recommend using one of the procreate classes  on skillshare i've already checked out a bunch  

  • of them and they are mega helpful the very last  thing i'm going to talk about is accountability  

  • so when i put out that video around eight months  ago talking about how i was going to make a  

  • digital cookbook that was actually one of my steps  that i do in long-term project plea planning plea  

  • planning when i plea plan i like to put things  online or announce them or do something that  

  • will make me feel horrifically guilty haha just  joking but not really i was raised catholic  

  • i have to make sure that i'm accountable for  what i said i was gonna do and you guys have  

  • messaged me in the inbox and been like you know  oh martina like when are you gonna put your coat  

  • book out or i hope you're gonna do your cookbook  and i'm like i can't forget about my cookbook  

  • i said that i would do it i'm gonna do it so i'm  gonna do it now okay you may not have a youtube  

  • channel and that's okay you just need to take your  idea or the thing you wanna do and kind of make it  

  • a semi-reality so accountability can be telling  a friend about it okay you say to your friend  

  • oh i have this idea that i really want to do you  can tell a family member you can make a new blog  

  • from scratch and kind of show the process of what  you're doing you can talk about it you can be like  

  • oh man i'm sucking or this is horrible or i fell  off the wagon whatever it is join a community tell  

  • your online community about what you're going to  do people will help cheer you on encourage maybe  

  • check in with you you can even open up a brand  new social media account just for that project  

  • it doesn't matter if you have followers or not  the idea is that you're trying to like check  

  • in and put something out in there whether it's  the process or the growth i've run across so  

  • many cool instagram accounts where there's only  like 10 pictures uploaded but it's the person  

  • drawing on paper and then they're kind of getting  digital and you look at it and you're like awesome  

  • like look at how they've grown already and you can  also have private accountability you don't need  

  • to tell other people you can have a little book  once a week you can check in with yourself what  

  • you're doing you can have a calendar and you can  say you know this friday my goal is to research  

  • beer labels right and you put it onto the calendar  and in the next week my goal is to you know go on  

  • pinterest and organize a bunch of different beer  labels that i like if you're planning on making  

  • you know beer label company or something so you  can have personal accountability which helps you  

  • kind of stay in check with the project i think  blackboards and whiteboards and calendars are  

  • super awesome for this there's something really  satisfying about checking something off or like  

  • crossing it off your list so i hope i've given you  some insights into how i start to tackle something  

  • like a big project for the methods we've got  know your unhelpful environments know thine self  

  • taking notes which include writing down big big  big ideas and letting them just grow before you  

  • look at them logically then for tools we've got  things like Skillshare taking courses which will  

  • help you become more confident and unlock much  more creativity and then we have apps we've  

  • got like pinterest mural and procreate which can  help you get organized and help you design things  

  • making something bigger often requireslot of little steps and it can definitely  

  • be overwhelming so i really hope this helps  out if you'd like to watch someone flail  

  • as they make their tiny project bigger head on  over to King Kogi that's my personal youtube page  

  • i'm going to be live streaming some of my sessions  for my creative cookbook with hopes that you guys  

  • can tune in with some of your projects so  we can keep each other accountable right  

  • if i'm going to live stream i will let you know  on all my King Kogi platforms so King Kogi on  

  • instagram on twitter and on my youtube page i'll  send out messages come on join me and let's get  

  • started on a project for the year thank you again  to Skillshare for sponsoring this video i will  

  • continue taking my courses and i hope you guys get  a chance to go to the info box and click that link  

  • because it's only for a thousand people see you  guys in the King Kogi kingdom we're gonna keep  

  • keeping it cool and yes i will continue to dress  like a gnome a fashionable hip-hop gnome you

i gotta say you guys i kind of feel like  i look like a garden gnome but i'm really
