239 - When Is It Okay to NOT Imitate? Sharpened Artist

Show Notes: When Is It Okay to NOT Imitate?



”When is it okay to branch out and start creating your own original work vs. just copying tutorials? Is there a timeline to follow?”

This listener question sparked today’s episode, in which John shares his thoughts on the self-paced model of learning vs. a more structured, step-by-step approach. Spoiler alert: the best approach and the timeline is different from artist to artist! Copying is a GOOD thing in the beginning, as long as the purpose is to apply that information to your own work later. Listen in to decide what that timeline looks like for you!
