January 21, 2020 261 - Artists with Super Fandoms Have This Surprising Thing in Common
The difference between bad art and good art is probably skill, but what's the difference between GOOD art and GREAT art?
Often the quality of art is the same between artists with a super following and artists with a meager fanbase, so what’s the secret?
I was desperate to figure this out.
So I started to study my creative heroes and those with really diehard super fandoms, and I came across a pattern that I’d never noticed. In this episode I want to share that insight with you and the 5 ways you can use it in your work for max effect!
