Feeling less sensitive/attached to your work creates more room for growth instead of pain if others offer criticism, questions or suggestions. Making this a consistent habit distances yourself a bit from the artwork.

Becoming comfortable just with this idea will make putting future artwork (if you wish, of course) into the world for sale, or even to get freelance clients or a full time position.
Here is what happens when you share your artwork: Creatives are introverts by nature, so it’s basically in our DNA not to put our work in front of others, let alone the internet. This is probably the most frightening part (it totally was for me), but I can’t stress how important it is. This is where you figure out what you enjoy most, where your style starts coming forward, and where you learn about yourself and the artwork you make. Getting lost in the experimentation process created some of my favorite, most unexpected artwork of the entire year. Give yourself the right to follow the creative rabbit hole wherever it leads. Plus, this is your goal and you better get to have fun accomplishing it 😉 3. Taking the pressure off of getting one step checked by a certain time creates the freedom to experiment. Creativity grows the strongest and quickest in the experiment step, so it’s important to give it time.
Figure out which you need to start tackling first and get right into the process. I actually recommend not putting a time frame on these, as long as you commit to them every week. All of the little pieces that will lead to your goal(s). Here’s where you create your mini steps or mini goals. It’s pretty amazing everything else you’ll accomplish without even realizing it in the process 🙂 2. Choosing one creates immense focus, so if you’re just getting started, be kind to yourself, and as you work through the year, see if adding another goal feels right. I had 2 goals last year and it still felt overwhelming at times. If you could improve or learn just one creative skill this year, what would it be? It’s ok if it’s just 1! Something like ‘learning Illustrator better’ obviously comes with a ton of mini goals/steps, so that in itself is a list! Maybe it’s ‘improve my script lettering’ or ‘finally make my handwriting into a font’. If you’re just planning out your creative goals for this year, here’s my recommendation for tackling + achieving them best: 1. And then the big ones only *kind of* happen, if they do at all. It may seem like a no brainer to do this, but if this step – of creating manageable, achievable ‘mini-steps’ isn’t taken, the big ones become overwhelming after a few months.
