One of the most important things that you must know when you are an artist is how to get your art project out the door.

The biggest reason why many artists do not finish their projects is because they get stuck at different stages of their projects and they just keep going round and round in circles while they do all sorts of things but they do not complete their art project.

Telling you the exact steps to finishing your project will not help you much if I don’t help you understand what is getting in your way and how to get over it.

There’s a big difference between creating something and releasing it into the world. Even if you’re the sort of person who can crank out a book or an album in your spare time, you probably still have to contend with some level of perfectionism or procrastination or fatigue.

Still, there are ways to get your art out the door. Here’s what I learned from my own experience and research.

You might feel like you are in the middle of a giant, tangled knot. But it’s not your fault that you do. You were born with an artist brain, which is programmed to have way more thoughts than you can ever explain.

The artist brain wants to create and make new things, but it doesn’t always know how to go about it. So sometimes you get stuck in a loop of questioning: “How do I make this? What if I try this? Is this good enough? Will anyone like it? Do I even want to make art?” And instead of making art, your artist brain just keeps asking more questions.

Trying to solve such a big problem head on will only cause anxiety and overwhelm you. So the best thing you can do is break down the question into small pieces and take them one at a time. You’ll never be able to answer all the big questions about your project all at once or even in a few weeks or months, so don’t even try!

Instead, focus on one small part of your project at a time by breaking down what you need to do into small steps: What will you do today? What will you do tomorrow? And then ask yourself the same question for each day after that, until you

In the past month or two, I’ve encountered a few people who were stuck on an art project that they really wanted to work on. I’ve been lucky to have some advice to give them, but it’s something that I’ve also had to struggle with.

So, here are a few bits of advice that are based on things that have helped me get unstuck in my own work.

At the risk of being too forward, I’d like to talk about a problem that I think is common among creative people. It’s holding your art back.

We’ve all experienced it. You have a project you’re excited about, maybe a new series of paintings or a new novel or a new batch of songs. But then you get to work and you get stuck. You stare at the canvas or the blank page and you just can’t start. It stinks, right?

And once it starts happening regularly, it can seem like there’s no end in sight to the blockage. You start thinking up reasons for why you’re blocked – maybe you haven’t been sleeping enough, or maybe you need to choose better subject matter, or maybe you never had any talent anyway – and then you get depressed, which makes it even harder to start working again, and pretty soon your project is dead.

Thing is, there are lots of ways out of this cycle, and I’m going to tell you my favorites. Let’s start with the big one: HOW YOU THINK ABOUT THE PROJECT MATTERS A LOT.

I learned to draw from my brother and my dad, who were both artists. I was the only kid in elementary school with a subscription to National Geographic, and the local library had shelves and shelves of professional-level art books for kids. I started drawing long before I could read, but even still, by the time I hit first grade, I was already starting to get bored with cartooning.

As an adult, I’ve noticed that whenever I attempt to draw a cartoon-y person or face, my drawings have a very limited range of emotion or expression. My drawings look flat and lifeless.

It’s time to branch out! There are plenty of ways to loosen up my drawings and add some variety. I’d like to learn how to draw more lifelike heads and faces in a variety of settings–portraits in particular interest me. This is something that is not easy for me.

I want to be able to capture the wide range of emotions that people express in real life: happiness, sadness, frustration, anger…and even more subtle expressions like doubt and confusion.
