      Leo Babauta posted this on his blog recently, where he got to tak to a Pixar animator while giving his children a tour of the studio.

      There’s some really cool points made, that can carry over to pretty much any creative medium. My favourite part was this:

      Quote:
      Tenacity matters. Bernhard told a story of a friend who did a drawing every day, for more than 3 years, and became amazingly good by the end of that stint. He shared Looney Toons legendary animator Chuck Jones’ assertion that you have to draw 100,000 bad drawings before you have a good drawing. Bernhard said you might not seem very good at something when you start out, but if you’re persistent, tenacious even, you can get amazingly good.

      What do you think?

        That’s a good article. It touches on some aspects of creativity which I haven’t seen before, so it’s pretty useful.

          Great tips, indeed. And how nice for him to take time out of what I’m sure was a busy day to encourage two young people.
