Sketches show us how messy the creative process really is. You need to explore. You need to goof around. You need to postpone the self-criticism. The worst thing you can do as a creator is compare your initial draft to somebody's final one. https://t.co/vfABz1sLGz

one thing i think about a lot: it’s a lot easier to criticize a flawed thing than it is to put your own weight / belief / reputation behind your own (inevitably flawed) thing

Art and the artist both suffer most when the artist gets too heavy, too focused on results.

One of the biggest things holding people back from doing great work is the fear of making something lame. And this fear is not an irrational one.

If you’re going to do high-level creative work, you have to accept the messiness of your initial creations, knowing that excellence is born from the sisters of patience and iteration. The second you start condemning young and fragile ideas, you’re toast. https://t.co/Yee5XC9jll
