I'm going to get burned alive for this one but it is something we all need to start thinking about more. And it's how we feel about Artistic Freedom and the idea of "draw whatever you want your way".
Personally, I think it might be time for artists to start really letting go of the idea of "Artistic Freedom" for the sake of really beginning to improve and develop their work. Honestly doing this is probably the big reason why I even improved at all art and design wise.
The very idea of striving to improve your artwork goes against it. And clinging on to it usually ends up harming the artist or worse. But letting go if it makes it much easier to learn and grow. As well as branch out side of the box a bit more. There are some things best left untouched though but that's usually regarding things that are much more serious in nature. Or more complicated in nature. Sometimes both. And are usually related to themes rather then method.
It's easier to spot and fix flaws when you aren't focused on it. And it's easier to read, analyse, and accept critics when you aren't focused on it. Imagine how much head way we'd make if we could all just let go of that tired old phrase. I dream of the day when I'm completely free of it.
What do you all think of the concept of Artistic Freedom? Do you feel it's often taken to it's extreme or do you feel it's something all artists should strive for?
