Lately, I've been in a depression mode and hit a creative block along with all the other stuff I mentioned last week. There's no running from it sadly. When life gives you lemon, you make lemonade right? So, there's always something to learn from a negative experience. I know there's going to be more days like this which made me find content that'll help me fight these creative ruts when they arise. I super happy to listen to Neil Gaiman's masterclass which I highly recommend. A book call, "The War of Art", by Steven Pressfield has helped immensely in setting my creative mindset as well. These are just some of the stuff I'm learning on the side I'm doing in order to be better than I was yesterday.
Today I was able to render out some images and it feels good. It's a slow progress, but it's a start. (Progression updates on Trello btw). I'm always trying to improve my creative workflow. I'm a perfectionist or at least I like to have everything perfect. I'm starting to see that this perfectionist mindset is a hindrance to me and my creative output. It's one of the things stopping me from doing post work effect because my post work skills are very amateurish. While it is important to have a standard of quality to strive for, I know that's one obstacle holding me back from providing a consistent work output. I'll do what I am capable of for the meantime.
I really want to render external environments, but I am nowhere near being able to create that yet. It's a strange process creating 3D environments or kit bashing several products together. I have a light grasp on the environmental process which I need more research and development to fully understand it.
I'll be working on consistency and setting up some other stuff to improve my creativity. Small update for what's been on my mind. Planning to have time on the weekend to create them contents!
Thanks Everyone,
