Well the first pearl is somewhere along those lines, Experiment and embrace accidents instead of screwing up yr page and binning it in a sulky rage.
Thats exactly what I would have usually done, instead of using the mistake as a learning curve,
that advice has to be accredited it to my course leader, Joanne Spicer, and probably one of the most important lessons that I have learned in my two years, and one Im glad i learned so early on.
The second pearl of Illustration wisdom, comes from Ben Wachenje (I know I sound like a fan boy, but so what, sue me), after asking him how he balances life between his work and family, something that I had spent so much time sweating over for the first 14-18 months of the course, he told me, he does not balance at all.
This gave me so much relief and confidence that I began to work freely of the shackles that the predicament had caused me since I started the course.
If a very established Illustrator cant find a balance and still produce work to the level he does then its most certainly not something that I should be sweating over.
And since my post up to now has been a lot of reading my third pearl comes in the form of a video,
and I'll leave you to decide wether you agree or not, but personally I think its brilliant.
Its a young poet from London Named Suli Breaks,... Enjoy.
