This is a very accessible book, quick and easy to read. Very motivating.
Somethings I took away from it are the following:
p. 14 Be an amateur
p. 16 ...contributing something is better than contributing nothing
p. 19... get started on the path to sharing your work...think about what you want to learn, and make a commitment to learning it in front of others...pay attention to what others are sharing...what they're not sharing....fill [voids] with your own efforts...Share what you love...
p.47 send out a daily dispatch...p. 48 shows what we're working on right now.
p.76. Where do you get your inspiration?
p.77 Your influences are all worth sharing because they clue people in to who you are and what you do...
p.90 work doesn't speak for itself -
p.93 Human beings want to know where things came from, how they were made, and who made them.
p.117 The minute you learn something, turn around and teach it to others...reading list....reference materials....tutorials...pictures, words, video....step-by-step through part of your process..."Make people better at something they want to be better at."
p. 196 Start Over begin again
p. 197 When you throw out old work, what you're really doing is making room for new work.
I actually got rid of a stack of old drawings and paintings to be be more free before I read this book.
This book inspired me to step back and practice sketching dailyish.
Life has been very busy. I've still been reading books but haven't taken the time to post.
