        • LIA Cast 283 - Generating Lists of Ideas is a Learnable Skill

          Getting ideas out of your head, gathering a whole bunch of them all at once is a useful creative exercise in so many situations!

          Jerzy and Rob explore different ways they use to generate ideas which sometimes feels like trying to get water from an empty bucket and other times playful and like winning a game.

          In the first half of the show they’ll do some live brainstorming and idea gathering to rename a project, then in the second half they’ll dig further into situations we find group brainstorms and solo idea generation useful.

                              Making things to communicate visually means subjecting yourself to an onslaught of rejection. This week we look at how we react to and engage with rejection and how it affects the work.

                                              There are lots of different software options these days for drawing, but one that Jerzy’s been excited about for several years now is Clip Studio Paint.

                                              This time on the Lean Into Art Cast, Jerzy walks through the initial steps of how he sets up comics pages and begins drawing them in CSP.
