I would say there’s another one: give yourself permission to fail. Maybe the deal you make is that whatever you do you’re going to toss it anyway. If you start making marks and don’t like it, then forget it and move on to something different. Who knows where you might end up?
This is a great post! I feel like it's not an oft-spoken-about topic, outside of advice like "try a new medium" or something(which is valid advice for sure but I feel it's sometimes used as a throwaway). Nice one Zoungy!
Getting stuck plagues nearly any creative endeavor. Thus, your fixes are quite helpful. "Thumbnailing" is an excellent idea to get unstuck. It helps visualize any number of compositions before investing much time in any one. Anything is better than staring at a blank sketch pad or canvas. Thanks for the advice!
