This is The Twenty Fifth Episode of the Visual Scholar Podcast - With Tim Mcburnie.

Let's review our progress this year! Hitting the reset button on the year is a great way to check how things have been going and make sure that if you do create any new plans for the next year or next cycle... that you have a strong foundation. It's vital to know what went well and what didn't so we can do more of the good stuff... and less of the unhelpful stuff.

In this episode of the Visual Scholar Podcast, I discuss a simple yet effective framework for setting and achieving artistic goals. This framework comprises three essential components:

1. Defining Goals and Destination: The first step involves identifying where you want to go with your art. This process includes creating an influence map or collection of images that align with your artistic aspirations. It's about understanding your major artistic influences and setting a clear destination for your artistic journey.

2. Vector and Direction Towards Goals: The second part of the process is about understanding the direction you're heading in relation to your goals. It’s crucial to assess whether your current artistic practice is moving you closer to or further away from your desired destination. This involves a careful examination of your current work and progress, ensuring alignment with your long-term goals.

3. Speed and Productivity: The final component focuses on the pace at which you are moving towards your goals. It's about being honest with yourself regarding your productivity and the effort you're putting into your art. This part involves reflecting on your artistic output over the past year and assessing whether it aligns with your expectations and aspirations.

By defining clear goals, ensuring you're moving in the right direction, and assessing your productivity.

I also discuss the following concepts:

Visual Learning: Emphasizing visual learning is a key aspect of artistic development. It's essential to understand that looking at images is work. This process of assessing and understanding the visual nature of different works contributes significantly to artistic growth. As artists, visual literacy is fundamental. This means being able to see new possibilities and styles through the act of viewing and analyzing different images.

Importance of Influence Maps: Recognizing the importance of influence maps is crucial in shaping your artistic journey. These maps, collections of images that resonate with your artistic goals, help in defining and guiding your artistic direction.

Keep Doing What Worked: It is crucial to continue practices that have previously led to success. Frequently, the path to artistic improvement is paved with consistently applying methods and techniques that have proven effective in the past.

Tracking Learning: The learning process in art is multifaceted and significant. Recognizing the new concepts and techniques acquired is crucial, as they cumulatively contribute to artistic growth.

The Power of a Plan. Planning is pivotal in the artistic process. A well-crafted plan, aligned with your artistic goals, not only enhances productivity but also ensures that every step taken is in harmony with your ultimate artistic aspirations.

This is The Twenty Fourth Episode of the Visual Scholar Podcast - With Tim Mcburnie.

Perhaps a redundant question.... but is it? Lets dig in and unpack this question. I think there is a lot of important insight you might not have considered about how style affects an artistic career and an artist's development!

Below is in Automagically generated summary so you can check out the content and also to help with search functionality! (These are not bad at summing it all up... but do sound a bit strange and not in my voice) ---

In this Episode we explore the complex question of whether artists should strive for a unique art style, especially considering the career implications in the art world. This topic isn't merely about creative freedom; it's also about how having a distinct style can impact business opportunities and job prospects in the industry.

The art world often leans towards a homogenous style, a trend visible since the 1950s when most illustrations served commercial needs uniformly. This pattern continues in various forms even now. While a unique style sets artists apart, it also presents challenges in meeting the industry's standard expectations. The real dilemma lies in choosing between blending in or standing out. Reflecting on the past, many artists in the 1920s -1950s,, despite their technical prowess, are forgotten today because their work was indistinguishable within the era's commercial style. This raises a critical question: is it better to have a unique style or to fit into the prevailing trends of the industry?

Developing a distinct style is a journey that takes significant time and involves exploring various mediums, techniques, and influences. This process of exploration and self-discovery is rewarding, yet it might not always synchronize with commercial success or consistent job opportunities. It took me about seven to eight years of serious dedication to art before landing my first significant job in the comic book industry, which forced me to crystallize my style.

Another aspect to consider is the commercialization of one’s style. Making a unique style commercially viable is not straightforward. It involves convincing clients and art directors to buy into your vision, which can be a significant hurdle. People in business, linked to a hierarchy, typically seek reliability and prefer styles that are successful and widely accepted. This tendency leads to a homogenization of styles in art.

In conclusion, not everyone will appreciate a unique style. The more distinct and pronounced your style, the more polarizing it can be. This means potentially limiting your audience but also finding a more dedicated and appreciative fan base. It's crucial to understand that while a unique style might limit some opportunities, it also opens doors to more personalized and fulfilling artistic endeavours. The key lies in balancing your personal artistic goals with the practicalities of the art industry. It's about aligning your style with your career aspirations and finding that sweet spot where both can coexist and thrive.

This is The Twenty Third Episode of the Visual Scholar Podcast - With Tim Mcburnie.

Starting a project can be both exciting and frustrating at the same time!

Often the things we do in the beginning can define the success we have in the end... or even if we are able to finish the project at all.

In this video I share my experience managing different artistic projects and the strategies I have developed to help people deal with the creative and productivity challenges that art projects offer!

Below is in Automagically generated summary so you can check out the content and also to help with search functionality! --- In this video, I delve into the essentials of starting and successfully completing your art projects. The focus is on the value these projects bring, not just as a learning tool but also as a means to define and express your artistic identity. Whether it’s a series of images, an art book, trading cards, or even a digital game, these projects can take various forms, each with its unique challenges and rewards.

A crucial part of this journey is planning. I emphasise the need to thoroughly understand and define your project's deliverables. These are the tangible outcomes, like a finished digital file in illustration or a game-ready 3D model in gaming. Drawing on my experiences, I illustrate the importance of this aspect, showing how it lays the groundwork for a project's success.

Another key aspect I discuss is the inevitable friction encountered during the creative process. This friction occurs as your project moves from an idea to a tangible form. While the initial stages are often full of optimism and creative energy, the reality of creating can be challenging as it often differs from your initial vision. Understanding and overcoming this friction is a normal and essential part of your artistic journey.

Defining success in your art projects is also vital. I talk about how to set clear goals and understand what success means to you. Is it about completing the project, achieving a certain level of quality, commercial success, or just fulfilling a personal creative urge? Knowing what you aim to achieve with your project is crucial for satisfaction with the outcome.

The video also includes practical advice on building a project 'skeleton' or framework and creating a visual map to track your progress. This practical approach, coupled with managing the emotional aspects of the creative process, is as important as the artistic skills themselves.

This is The Twenty Second Episode of the Visual Scholar Podcast - With Tim Mcburnie.

In this Episode It's time to start talking about Style! ...One of the most sought after yet slippery topics. I have a few episodes planned that delve into this area of art and personal development. This first one is really focused on the things that people typically don't mention when they give advice about style...

I try to get some altitude above the normal conversation, and my experience working across different industries has given me some interesting insights into why people make their art look a particular way!

Below is in Automagically generated summary so you can check out the content and also to help with search functionality! --- Have you ever wondered why your art looks the way it does? Why some styles resonate more than others? In today's artistic journey, we dive deep into the enigma of 'Art Style'—a topic that's not just about the mistakes we make or the personality we infuse into our work. It's more profound, more technical, and surprisingly, more accessible than you might think.

Back in the early days of my career, grappling with the concept of 'style' was like navigating a labyrinth without a map. I often felt lost, thinking if my work represented who I was as an artist. It took me years to realize that style isn't just a by-product of our habits or mere personality traits. It's a reflection of our responses to technical limitations and creative challenges.

Here are three pivotal insights about art style that reshaped my understanding and might redefine yours too:

Style as a Response to Technical Limitations: Throughout history, artists have continuously adapted and innovated in response to the materials and reproduction techniques available to them. From cave paintings to digital art, each style evolution marks an artist's creative response to technical constraints. Understanding this can radically change how we view and adopt different styles.

The Power of Creative Limitation: Limitation breeds creativity. This timeless truth is evident in how art styles have evolved. Embracing limitations can lead to some of the most unique and compelling artistic expressions. Whether it's the simplicity of line and color in lithographic prints or the dynamic boldness of comic book art, each style carries a unique strength born from restriction.

Matching Style with Intent: A style should be more than just an aesthetic choice; it should align with your artistic intentions. If you're drawing a horror comic, for instance, the style must be conducive to evoking fear and suspense. The style should amplify your message, not just decorate it.

As artists, our journey is not just about mastering techniques but understanding the 'why' behind each style we choose. It's about finding that unique voice that resonates with our vision and the stories we want to tell.

This podcast episode peels back the layers of what constitutes an art style. We delve into historical perspectives, practical advice, and philosophical musings to help you understand and harness the power of style in your artistic endeavours.

This is The Twenty First Episode of the Visual Scholar Podcast - With Tim Mcburnie.

This is the story of how, in 2005 I landed my first first real professional comic job: 7 Pirates.

Below is in Automagically generated summary so you can check out the content and also to help with search functionality! --- Here I discuss my journey to becoming a professional in the French comic book industry. This adventure began with my love for French comics like Tintin and Asterix and led to an unexpected opportunity that changed my career path.

Breaking into French Comics: Despite not speaking French and being Australian, I landed my first major project, 'Seven Pirates', a part of the 'Seven' series. The challenge of adapting to a different comic style and culture was significant, but it was also a chance to grow and refine my artistic skills.

Key Takeaways:

Seizing Opportunities: My story is a testament to the importance of being ready for unexpected chances. The right opportunity can come at any moment.

Skill Development: Constantly improving your craft is crucial. This experience taught me to adapt and evolve my style, essential for any artist's growth.

Recognizing Genuine Opportunities: Learn to identify serious collaborators. Real opportunities often come with straightforward discussions about the project's script and financial aspects.

The French Comic Industry: The French comic scene, focused on artistic vision and nurturing talent, offers a refreshing contrast to the Western superhero market. This difference enriches the creative process and storytelling.

Final Thoughts: My experience underscores the unpredictable nature of creative careers. For budding artists, it highlights the importance of practice, embracing opportunities, and finding the right partners. Every artist's journey is unique, and staying open to your path can lead to rewarding experiences.

This is The Twentieth Episode of the Visual Scholar Podcast - With Tim Mcburnie.

In this episode I discuss two important issues that can collide! Family and Productivity.

Getting your art done with busy family life is a massive challenge. Often as Artists we need to have a level of focus and dedicated time to work. And Family life can be chaotic and... lets face it... not that great for productivity of all kinds.

There are a number of pretty simple productivity concepts that I use with my own life that I have found useful when it comes to getting things done with a family of 5. And I share them all here.

Many of these are well trodden paths in the productivity game. But I have found there are differences in the way they are applied to Family life.

I still use many of the same tools to tackle a fulltime art career (and more) that I did way when I was single and had all the time in the world... But with a few critical adjustments and modifications.
