General Art Creation

I'm going to talk about art creation and steps to take to avoid making art bad whether its film , stills or models. Creating art work is a self designing process but a great example of not taking in outside influence is from George Lucas. The prequels of star wars all directed by Lucas in a spand of about 6 years . Visuals in the film pushed CGI potential astronomically but other then that the films where lack luster. Art is more then just a beautiful picture. Meaning and potential of the piece needs to shine through just the aesthetics of picture. This shows how no matter how successful you are .. outside sources are needed to enforce the great aspects but also preference shines out in some people then others. So you need to find people who share the same shape but don't just approve of your work because you ask if its good. Also arrogance doesn't gain anything in art work. George would change anything because it was his vision. When art in general is a collaboration with individuals to make a greater picture. Even as a single artist you should be willing to grab strangers who wont be biased on your work to get there opinions. Having "haters" and "fanboys" are not great people to show work to as they will either approve or disapprove immediately just based on who you are as a person and not what you present them with. Finding this balance of criticism and rejection is different for everyone. So as a personal preference i like to take as much criticism and fix is based on whether it sounds/looks good or if its just nonsense. Always seek for others approval last as they can swing there opinion just based on if you ask if its good when it isn't. This tangent is just a statement for me/others to just open up and not shut in.

Getting Noticed.

Start a blog 

This may be the single most important thing you can do to increase your exposure as an artist. It takes a bit of commitment to post regularly, but the benefits make it a no-brainer.

Artists often tell me they don’t need a blog, or they don’t have anything to write about, but if you’re consistently creating new art, then you have plenty to write about.

You can post every time you create a new piece of art and talk about the process or what it means to you or if there is a story behind it. You can write about your upcoming exhibitions or shows, and you can provide tutorials and advice on how you create your art.

 Establish Your Artist Goals

This one is easy, all you have to do is think! Take 5 minutes to consider what your goals are for your artwork. Are you just doing it for fun because you love it, do you plan to make a living from doing it, or is it a bit of both?

Enter Art Competitions

You may not be the competitive type, but entering online art contests can be a great way of reaching other artists and increasing your exposure.

These are simple things that can expose you to mainstream artist and consumers to make your art work more popular . And also turning it into more then just a pass time hobby.

Effect use of planning and developing! 

Surviving as an artist consist of working everyday and as much as can. Not so much as when you want to because you will find yourself doing less and less work and making less and less progress. When working , making your own inspiration. Being an artist is basically a full time job. the whole end game is where to channel your creativity and what to focus it on the most and where you are the most successful. Spending time on something you cant draw/paint/build will lead you no were but an angry path of doubt. 

Your are studio should also be considered a medium of experimenting with different art forms and different art styles or even methods and ideology . Through this process of trial and error with multiple forms of art each and every time you want a new piece to come out your strengths will be laid out for you eventually.  

Researching and establishing a self mission. Expanding your knowledge of the vast art styles and works out there. Also while letting your creativity run wild and evolve as an artist.

The whole point of being an artist is to express your self in a way you feel comfortable and proud of while at the same time its seen as art to others. The whole point is to enjoy what you are making and be entertained when people enjoy your work. Whether it be a painting or it be music.
