Show Your Work Part 2

Think Process, Not Product

When we talked about our work, it could mean the "artwork" as in the painting or the "art work", the stuff that goes behind the scene, looking for inspiration, ideas, painting etc. 

In the digital era, we can form unique bonds with our audience and see the person behind the product. 

This can be done by:
1. Sharing sketches
2. Sharing works-in-progress
3. Post pictures of studio
4. Blog about one's influences
5. Inspiration
6. Tools
7. Anything the artist cares about 

Audiences long to be creative and be part of the creative process. Ongoing connection helps us move more of our product.

If you have nothing to show, take bits and pieces of your process and shape them into some interesting media that you can share. This can be done by turning ourselves to be documentarian of what we do, that is keeping track of what's going on. When ready, we have materials to share. Even if you decided not to, you'll be rewarded by seeing your progress in the making.

What processes can you share?
