Quantity Over Quality In Creative Work - Based On The Book Art & Fear

In the book, Art & Fear, they speak about the importance of quantity over quality in creativity. Most people focus on perfectionism, but they should be focusing on prolificness. That's where the disconnect comes in.

Brilliant concept in its simplicity. I think some people can get stagnated, myself included, by trying to be completely “ready” for a project before actually starting the project - and that may do a lot to hinder the creativity rather than help it. This is a great frame of reference, to just get in there and start making things. Ready or not! 👍

This is amazing advice. As someone who gets stuck in the trap of feeling like I need to learn and know anything before actually creating (in my case drawing and painting both digitally and traditionally) it is very liberating and inspiring to consider simply making art to work towards improvement. Inaction can lead to stagnation and loss of motivation or interest entirely so this really put a lot of things into perspective for me. Thanks so much for sharing! You’ve impacted my day in such a positive way and I hope you have a great one as well. I’ll be sure to check those books out too!
