Defining Process:
The process is the journey from an initial idea to the finished artwork. It involves three main phases: ideation, creation, and presentation. Each phase plays a crucial role in how the artwork is perceived and experienced by both the artist and the viewer.
Ideation Process:
This is where everything begins-with an idea. Transforming a vague thought into a tangible concept is the first step in the creative process.
Creation Process:
This is the actual making of the artwork, where ideas are turned into physical or digital forms. This phase is often messy and far from the polished look of the final product.
Presentation Process:
The final artwork is presented in a way that enhances its perceived value-through marketing, storytelling, and sophisticated presentation techniques.
Artists often work in environments that contrast sharply with the beauty and cleanliness of galleries and final presentations. Studios are functional spaces where the messy reality of artistic creation unfolds.
The process of creation is not just about using specific tools or techniques but understanding why and how different methods affect the finished product. For instance, comic book artists use line and color to create vibrant, clear images that print well, which is essential for the medium.
Practical Takeaways:
Understanding and refining your process can significantly enhance your art and enjoyment of creating.
It's crucial to choose a process that not only achieves the desired artistic outcomes but also aligns with your personal preferences and the practical needs of your medium.
Philosophical Takeaway:
The magic of art often lies in its mystery. Just as people enjoy the illusion of a magic trick without seeing the hidden mechanisms, they appreciate art more when its creation seems effortless. However, for artists, embracing and understanding the process behind the scenes is what enables them to produce magic repeatedly.
Conclusion:
As we wrap up, remember that the process is integral to art. It's what you spend most of your time doing as an artist, and it's where the real joy and discovery happen. Whether you're a seasoned professional or just starting, focusing on process rather than just the final product can enrich your artistic practice.

Your channel is criminally underrated. Always appreciate your insight. You never shy away from making us ask ourselves the tough questions.
Thank you for this episode, Tim! Incredibly helpful for me right now. Also, I would love to hear you talk more about being a Sketch Artist, Storyboard Artist, or this type of Artist in general. Because it is very easy -and a bit discouraging- to think everything has to be a finished piece, even if the artist themselves don't have that desire or spark to be working on a piece for 40 hours straight. I'm asking this because there isn't that much information about it out there, generally people only talk about refined paintings. Thank you! Have a nice day and stay safe, ye! :)
"We're not looking at the way they do it, we're looking at the way you do it" I think of this whenever someone significantly enlightens me with any ideas; how could I have come up with such an idea myself? My biggest weakness is probably not being patient with doing what I know is correct for a process. Very fun podcast, thanks Tim. It reminded me of many things I've observed and felt.
I don't know how I missed this one. But wow learning a process has been so so helpful. Hope you will do an art ritual with that cool little piece behind you

Omg he has another channel! Subbed.
Great video, Tim! Thanks. I can totally relate to everything you've said, you're a master at shining light on difficult to explain and often misunderstood ideas and have given me lots to think about
I love you and your videos
Love these so much, these discussions about some of the aspects of making art which are, at the same time, both practical and philosophical. Never heard anything quite like them. They are as interesting as your more hands-on videos. I'm addicted to your channel! 🥰
Hey Tim, great as always. These videos/podcasts have been helping so much. I'm still having difficulties with the old mindset trying to fight me, but I am winning more and more, and it's definitely due to these lessons and insights. I have never experienced such an effective way of learning from an artist/teacher/person. You teach things that just, in my experience are very rare/on-existent. There are many great tutorials that teach how to do good art (Technical etc), but not necessarily how to be a great artist (personal psychology of the individual). You do both in my opinion. All of us are different. The psychological side of each persons approach to their art is just as important as the technical know how. Also, did you see the recent BBC video with Alan Moore talking about writing and motivation? The guy's such a legend. If you haven't yet, here is the link. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y2dl09Zul6qYlLw.html
