Artists are all storytellers, no matter what medium or field. But, telling a story isn't just about expression – it's about communication. Enhancing these skills can impact how effective our art can convey the story we want to tell. In this video, I share 10 ways to help improve visual storytelling skills through examples and personal experiences. Since the dawn of existence, humans have been communicating, through stories, reports, performances, often re-telling old stories to new audiences. But, in looking at our own artwork, today, how can we improve our approach to communicate our message more quickly and effectively, in a vibrant visual representation that will easy to translate by viewers? Here are just 10 Ways to Improve Your Visual Storytelling: 1. ORIGINALITY: Even re-telling an old story can be original. 2. IDENTIFY YOUR AUDIENCE: Know who we're telling our story to. 3. MAKE IT PERSONAL: Knowing the truth behind a story makes it real. 4. ENJOY YOURSELF: When our art becomes a chore, it will show in the work and in the story. 5. MAKE IT ATTAINABLE: Having access to fresh ideas, quality materials, and the precious time to work is vital creating good artwork. 6. KEEP IT SIMPLE: It's best to keep things simple than overcomplicate with conflicting ideas, directions, or intentions. 7. A STORY IN ONE TAKE: The most memorable works of art tell at least one powerful story. Sometimes more. 8. COHERENCE & CONTINUITY: The flow from piece to piece, by the same hand. 9. THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS: Too many details can generate unexpected problems. ("God is in the Details" suggests adding appropriate detail to elevate a piece of art without problems). 10. DONE IS GOOD: Knowing when a piece is finished prevents us from overworking it and possibly ruining it. Video Reference: Pushing Our Creative Development:

There is one particular person in your life that is your greatest enemy; your Final Boss. They’re harder on you than any critic, they put their wants and needs over yours at every opportunity, and they try to control every facet of your life at the expense of everything and everyone you care about–and that person is you! What I’m talking about is of course, the concept of Ego, and while ego doesn’t make you inherently narcissistic or evil, or anything like that, it’s an aspect of our mind and our personality that tries to step in and take control, and when we don’t have good understanding or awareness of our ego, that’s when we’re at risk of letting it control our actions and say things that we don’t mean, and often times even keep us from being the person we want to be. So that’s why today I want to share with you my understanding of ego, and my struggles with ego, and how I’ve overcome them, so that maybe you can defeat your Final Boss, and we can all start being the person we want to be a bit more. --------------------------------------- Join the Neat Club:

👀 Запустили Cara — нова платформа для робіт художників Творці почали переходити на Cara, тому що основна фішка в їх захисті. Всі опубліковані роботи автоматично маскуються системою Glaze. Вона маскує арти від зчитування штучним інтелектом. Це настільки сподобалось художникам, що почали масово тікати з Instagram та ArtStation. Встиг зареєструватись на Cara?
