WHAT IS THE MOST VALUABLE PIECE OF ARTISTIC ADVICE YOU HAVE EVER RECEIVED, AND FROM WHO?
The most valuable advice is a bit vague, but it has helped me to go further and explore. It’s that if I start a new personal project, it shall be something much higher than my current level is. I shall not have any idea how to complete the task; it shall scare me to death. This is the most efficient way to learn more and force myself to try new things. I’ve received it from Paul Cabon, a French animation director.
