Creativity and productivity are both good things you need as an artist, but they need to be in balance. You don’t want to be spending too much time being creative, because you’ll never get any other work done. And if you’re spending all your time being productive, your art will lack that creative flare. Join Ping, Sarah, and Dorien as they discuss how they balance creativity and productivity.
