I recall a tale from a pottery teacher, half the classes work would be judged on quality, the other just the weight of the finished pieces, those who threw lots of pots aiming for weight consistently produced better quality by the end of the process, some things you can only learn by doing!
- lgieron 10y agoA lot of people say the same thing about drawing ("draw a lot of random sketches, don't obsess over single drawings for hours/days trying to get it right"). It's too bad that obsessing is just so much more pleasant than spewing out tons of ugly crap :)
- tomgp 10y agoI disagree, if you can become comfortable with imperfection in your work you'll derive more satisfaction from the process of creation -- or at least that has been my experience. It requires a concerted and conscious effort but pays dividends both in terms of quality of work (eventually) and peace of mind.
