An artist's unique voice is their calling card. It's what makes each of their works vital and particular. But developing such singular artistry requires effort and persistence. Bestselling author, artist, and illustrator Lisa Congdon brings her expertise to this guide to the process of artistic self-discovery. Featuring advice from Congdon herself and interviews with a roster of established artists, illustrators, and creatives, this one-of-a-kind book will show readers how to identify and nurture their own visual identity, navigate the influence of artists they admire, push through fear and insecurity, and appreciate the value of their personal journey.

Quotes

  • Bakhyt Kadyrovahas quoted3 years ago
    you’re not feeling the desire for a prolonged period of time, it’s important to consider whether the current expression of your creativity is really what you want to be doing or whether, instead, you should change things up and be making something else or working in a different way. Listening to your internal desire (or lack of one) is critical to staying engaged with the creative process.
  • Bakhyt Kadyrovahas quoted3 years ago
    What is it, the ten-thousand-hours rule to become an expert? I made so many paintings that I didn’t like and products that never sold. You have to go through that process and not look at them as failures, but instead look at all of it as taking steps to figure out what you really want to do. Very few times do things simply fall in your lap. You have to stay with it and ride through the ups and downs.
  • Kassandra Zimmermanhas quoted3 years ago
    sticking to a consistent set of rules means you are also excluding other things
