Researched a lot today and learned some invaluable things about creativity.
My favourite quote from today:
"10. Creativity is subtraction.
It’s often what an artist chooses to leave out that makes the art interesting. What isn’t shown vs. what is.
In this age of information overload and abundance, those who get ahead will be the folks who figure out what
to leave out, so they can concentrate on what’s important to them.
Devoting yourself to something means shutting out other things.
What makes you interesting isn’t just what you’ve experienced, but also what you haven’t experienced.
The same is true when you make art: you must embrace your limitations and keep moving.
Creativity isn’t just the things we chose to put in, it’s also the things we chose to leave out. Or black out" - Austin Kleon
So yeah, I'm finally calming the heck down and just working on what I want to work on :)
Some pen sketches
And wip Mirror's Edge ending redesign o:
because why not?!
Have to go to some kind of Greek festival in the city tomorrow, will see what I can learn and get done.
All I know is I can't wait to get back to this wip!

"Not a single thing in this world isn't in the process of becoming something else."
I'll be back - it's an odyssey, after all
