THINGS THAT I HAVE LEARNED.

What motivates me : 

Unemployment - I think its the thought of not having a job that can pay the bills really pushes me forward and striving for a career that I can put everything into it. I can't imagine myself sat in an office on the eighth floor, mon-fri, 9-5 so I think that alone makes me determined to push forward to do what I love. Thats the most important thing to me.

Things that I have learned : 

Fail More - I've come to realise that its okay to mess up from time to time and learn from your mistakes. Fail, fail and fail some more. For me personally when I come to finishing a project and producing a "slick" final outcome I seem to tighten up and completely. After changing ideas multiple times and re-doing sketches or paintings I seem to subconsciously progress or just seem more happy with my outcomes.

Get a new pair of eyes - When engrossed in work in a dingily lite flat on my own I seem to become unaware of how things are starting to turn out. It's always a good idea to get a fresh set of eyes looking at your work as my eyes become stale after so long. Asking others for criticism helps me work a lot better as you sometimes miss the obvious and see things from a different point of view. I find this hard to do myself if I've been staring at my own work all day on my own.
