FEARLESS Tip #2 SPEED

Uncork what is inside YOU by going really, really fast!
CUTE and INSPIRING TIMERS from ANTHROPOLOGY

Understand that the most important thing that you need for Creativity is the thing you already possess – YOU! A trick to find YOU is by giving yourself a time constraint.

Tip - Buy a cute timer from Anthropology and get started discovering who YOU are as an artist.

WHY  Really, really, really fast?
It makes sense that speed can unlock creativity. When we have to do something under extreme time constraints, we have to rely on the more intuitive, subconscious parts of our brain – the part that really defines who YOU are! The time pressure can help suppress the logical/rational/critical parts of your brain that can KILL an idea before you're barely aware of it.  And we know criticism Kills creativity!

Sure you need to PRACTICE the fundamentals but perfect drawing is not the goal in art – perfect expression of human emotion is all that counts! So when you step ONSTAGE – speed is your friend to bring out YOU.
