Your Gameplan
An Introduction & Roadmap
This is the beginning of your journey to build a lifelong creative habit that becomes the engine of your creative practice and start attracting your true fans.
Let’s unpack that.
Creative Habit
You’re going to have to do something, you’re going to have to spend time taking action, all the actions are designed to be something you can do in 10 minutes, but I do recommend setting aside 30 minutes each day. This will give you some time to get comfortable before you start and a moment to reflect after.
If all you have is 10 minutes that works too!
Creative Engine
Too much of what we do in this social media age is performative.
You see people frantically set up lighting and camera to take a relaxing sip of coffee. This 10 minutes is different it’s not for show. Instead this 10 minutes serve to spark your imagination and usher in those imaginings into the world in their rawest form.
What you end up doing with these uncut gems of creative output will be up to you. The goal is to help you uncover them daily.
True Fans
I think there is a step many artist are unwilling to take, and that is to earn and cultivate true fans.
Yet the true fan is the completion of the creative process. Whether it’s someone to laugh at your joke, gaze on your artwork, or read your masterpiece. For all your tinkering, crafting and toiling in private, the task is incomplete until it has found an audience.
For some you might seek a small audience to influence with your message, for others you might need a larger audience to sustain your practice and form the lifeblood of your career. During this journey we will look at ways to cultivate these true fans.
Your Gameplan will be delivered to you in 2 parts

Hello, I’m Adam Ming.
Since turning 40 in 2021, I have illustrated 15 Childrens books for top publishers. I went from literally forgetting that I was an artist, to doing my dream job. I wrote about my journey for 5 years, and have mentored others in group and 1-1 settings. Gameplan is my attempt to distill the most valuable lessons, surprising insights, and painful mistakes, into something that is immediately usable to you.
It’s for you if you’re looking for an entry into a dream job, trying to make this creative life work, or even just want to get mote out of a daily 10 minute drawing practice.
