Improving technique is a great endeavour but it's not everything (or for everyone).
Going out of your comfort zone and embrace change and growth is the topic for this weeks episode.
We share some of our thoughts and approaches to world building alongside some of our favorite examples in media.
It's sometimes difficult to deal with criticism and feedback in a high-stress work environment.
We talk about different approaches to learn and improve. Not only with art ...
We're often swayed by seemingly good advice on social media. But adopting a more questioning mindset might be better in the long run.
Trends come and go and sometimes it can feel like we're missing out if we're not following what's in.
We all have them, we don't want them, but how to get rid of them?
Can organizing your surroundings (and your life), really put your mind at ease and help you focus better?
Working as a commercial artist can feel draining a lot of the times. How can we recharge our creativity?
The world can sometimes feel like a dark place. Lets talk about how to shut out the noise.
In a continuation of last weeks episode we talk about what the loss of our routine could mean for us and what to do about it.
We're back with Season 3 and a new look! First topic will be all about what to do (and what not to do) when you're laid off, retrenched etc.
