How to train like a PRO Artist?

1) How PRO Artists (can) train?

Pro artists can take a lot of inspiration from PRO Athletes. đŸƒâ€â™‚ïž

PRO athletes have;

– Focused competitions they are training towards.

– ⁠They work in seasons (On season, Off season)

– ⁠They have daily and weekly training plans to improve their skill (whether on season or off season)

– ⁠They have a coach to guide them.

What can the Artist learn from this to be PRO?

– Work towards a Project (this is your game or competition)

– ⁠Work differently when you are working on a project (on season) vs not (off season) – have routines and things lined up so you don’t loose skill.

– ⁠Have daily and weekly structured learning sessions to improve your skills (warm ups, fundamentals, observation studies, mini projects)

– ⁠Get a mentor to give you objective feedback and hold you accountable. 

These are some things one can pick up to improve their skills whilst working on projects that fulfills their soul. 😌

2) You don't need a Project. You need a Product?

What do you do when you feel lost and stuck?

Start a project? 

No. You create a product. ⭐

Project is something you do and finish. 

Product is something you make, Finish and Ship. 

That’s a whole new level.

Here’s a fantastic video from Jake Parker that talks about this concept 👇

3) Favourite Quote of the Week

“Why is it that only those who have never fought in a battle are so eager to be in one?”

– Lord Toranaga (a character in Netflix – Shogun)

That’s it.
I’ll see you again next week 🙂

Best,
Kesh.
