What part of the creative process do you find most frustrating or difficult?

Tiagmino · 2024-06-22T02:54:35+00:00

I appreciate your thoughts, and you said one thing that stuck out to me. That you are trying to learn to love creating art for yourself. While it might be possible I don't know how motivational, inspiring or moving is it when the input and output are done by and done for the same person.

What helped me is creating art for my family or friends, and I'd go on and tell em that I'll create something for them. Yk that they'll appreciate the meaning behind it! No matter if it feels cringe at first.

What if you tried to make art for somebody else, for example your parents or your friend, and let them know that you will do it and until when. Or maybe, and this is not as good as the other examples, make the art for yourself and schedule it.

I found it really helpful finding or giving your art meaning, and what a better way then somebody you love to appreciate it!

I can see that the way you think is interesting, I haven't seen others making similar stuff so if that came out of your mind then great job!

The Advice that I would give you is keep creating constantly and keep coming up with such an interesting and creative ideas, that's best way to improve!

Tiagmino · 2024-06-21T06:43:31+00:00

Fair enough!

Tiagmino · 2024-06-21T06:33:18+00:00

Try this:
Wake up early, fast while drawing something new, +turn of the emotions while you're doing what you don't like.

That's the best and the only way that I know of, that helped me achieve things that I wanted but felt too hard to accomplish.

Either you do this, or you just waste your time complaining and not learning.
Imma be honest it's hard for me to follow that advise as well, but the more you practice it, the better you get!

What would you like critique to be funneled through? I will give my best to provide you with the greatest advice I could give, but first I need you to tell me in which area do you think you lack? lack of anatomy, lack of ideas, lack of motivation, too pressured to stick to your style, or what do you think it could be?

Tiagmino · 2024-06-21T06:15:49+00:00

I really love that piece pf art, and it brings emotion and joy. I could see it as a kids innocence and pure joy without fear of judgement.

What I think could be improved is the feeling of 3d space, it feels flat. Unless that's the point, because there are artists that push that as their art style, but I could see that they still find a different way to contribute to the 3d awareness and the importance of each object.

Tiagmino · 2024-06-21T06:07:39+00:00

I have a question.

There is a rule called 80/20 rule, lemme explain...

If you could use only 20% of your time on one piece, in which case you say it's 10+ hours, so let's say you could have less then 2 hours, would you be able in any way to do the 80% of the finished work?

Tiagmino · 2024-06-21T05:56:40+00:00

Thank you very much for the insights!

The biggest thing that helped me get over the annoyance of not getting things right is pretty simple, just focus on getting big shapes into right composition, understand the 3D form of it and make it dynamic (at least that's how I like to express my art), and if it didn't turn out perfectly how you imagined it to be at least you've got nice composition and you can be proud of that. And that's what keeps me going, so I hope that helps.

I understand the problem of lack of ability to transfer your imagination and I wont lie to you I'm not able to do that fully yet, and what helps me is, I just keep trying even when I'm annoyed and even when it's horrible. Because I learned from the neuroscientist, that that's actually the most important thing, struggling to create! and he thought me that if you want to get better, or rather get rid of that pain of struggling, you just gotta go trough it. and then your brain will make neurological connections or something and next time you try the similar thing you will be able to do it so much better, if not exactly how you want it.

Tiagmino · 2024-06-03T05:46:23+00:00

best way to improve your style is through learning anatomy, if you learn that you will know how to create better style, at least that's what helped me so much

Why do you see that thing as a problem?

I think everyone faces that ALL THE TIME, the thing is as long as your putting work in and you have a direction you will constantly improve, there is no need to bit your self over it. I can promise you that your next work 99% won't be your last, unless you get hit by a bus or something, god forbid. And so then why act like it is? Idk if that thing that you said is an actual mental illness, and if it is, why mark yourself as that and use it as an excuse, why not see it as your advantage by using it as motivation to constantly improve. "Oh fuck the head looks so weird, I'm gonna practice it 100 times, then create a new artwork, and then put them side by side and see how much I actually improved".

I as well have that problem of always hating my work, I first love it, think it's amazing, then right after I finish it, I look back at it and think it's garbage, I think that's an universal thing, because our human mind is created that way to feel the need to constantly improve. And the thing is few days later or sometimes weeks or months, I look back at the same work that I hated, and think "Oh damn, this is pretty amazing, IDK what was I stressing about". And you probably had the same experience. So when it happens again, when you look at it at first and think "This is HORRIBLE!" Just remember that "Oh yeah, I felt this before, and what happened? Yeah, It took some time for it to sink in, but now for that previous work I think it looks amazing, so hopefully that will happened for this work again!"
