How much is too much and how much is not enough?! In this episode, I talk about finding a balance between the volume of art you're making and the quality of that work. Don't crank out mediocre work just for the sake of being able to claim how big of a portfolio you have. But don't waste too much time taking too long to produce work that you can put in your portfolio. It's up to you to determine what is best for your situation.

What are you waiting for?! Stop wasting time thinking about making your art and MAKE it! Nothing good will come from you sitting around and making excuses as to why your not getting any artwork done. How important is your dream of being an artist to you? I know a great deal about this topic because I've gone through ti AND I still go through it even now. Invest in yourself and your talent/ skills. Also, dedicate a certain amount of time everyday to just be creative. Those small steps over time can only help make you a better artist!
