This charmingly illustrated guide shares ten truths about creativity, confidence, and how you can silence that stifling voice in your head.
This book is a salve for creative minds everywhere, and duct tape for the mouth of every artist’s inner critic. Author and art curator Danielle Krysa explores ten essential truths we all must face in order to defeat self-doubt.
Each encouraging chapter deconstructs a pivotal moment on the creative path—fear of the blank page, the dangers of jealousy, sharing work with others—and explains how to navigate roadblocks. Packed with helpful anecdotes, thoughts from successful creatives, and practical exercises gleaned from Danielle Krysa’s years of working with professional and aspiring artists—plus riotously apt illustrations from art world darling Martha Rich—this ebook arms readers with the most essential tool for their toolbox: the confidence they need to get down to business and make good work.

Quotes

  • Isaac Hardhas quoted3 years ago
    possible to spend years thinking about what you should be making. The desire for perfection is sometimes paralyzing. Start forcing yourself to make at least three or four quick pieces every week, even if you think they are “terrible.” With this production schedule, you will see the light at the end of the tunnel.

    h hello, back brain, nice to see you!

    9.Screw art supplies; head to the grocery store instead. Work on any kind of cheap, readily available surface you can find (paper plates, paper cups, lunch bags) and draw, paint, write on that instead. If it’s not a traditional “creative” surface you might be less likely to get tripped up on your usual hang-ups.

    8.Flip it around. Forget the white page with a black pen. Use a black page, white pen. Draw the negative space. You’re not drawing the vase, you’re drawing where the vase isn’t. Oh hello, back brain, nice to see you!
