It has been a rather productive year here on Pikaland, and we’re just talking about the posts! We know that some of you may not have been able to catch up, but here’s a tip \u2013\u00a0inspiration-based posts and discussions are held every Monday, and it’s something I’d love to continue into the new year. <\/p>\n

So without further ado, here’s a top 5 list of posts that gathered quite a few feedback from our readers and is also among my favorites so far:<\/p>\n

1. Why artists and illustrators should get a job<\/a><\/p>\n

Here I share about what I still do to keep food on my table while I keep\u00a0Pikaland running; and what you can do too.<\/p>\n

2. Why artists and illustrators should blog<\/a><\/p>\n

Keeping a blog is going to change the way you look at your work and connect with others. And no literary-prize winning writing skills needed at all!<\/p>\n

3. 100 things to draw<\/a><\/p>\n

I made up a list of 100 things to draw \u2013\u00a0for fun. Available as a free downloadable PDF<\/span>!<\/p>\n

4. Copycats and lessons we can learn<\/a><\/p>\n

Take a leaf from the fashion industry and see what you can do about copycats. Hint: it’s a new way of thinking about the issue at hand! See also Creativity, competition and copycats<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5. Illustration and innovation<\/a><\/p>\n

Don’t just do what’s current \u2013 experiment, fail often and throw lots of ideas around!<\/p>\n
