Tutorial with Matt

• I have become a machine for churning out work but am losing what made it good in the first place - the exploration, testing, trying out different things. 
• Avoid being too rigid and only focussed on the final outcome. Value the exploration, MORE SKETCHBOOK WORK. 
• What do I want to get out of my work? What do I want my work to be like? What do I want to do? I want to make work that makes people feel good. Not in a cringey or silly way, in a genuine way that makes them value the work for the feeling it gives them. 
• BE MORE FLUID. Loosen up a little - in life and in drawing. 
• Research research research - reading, drawing, experiencing, observation, writing...
• THINK MORE. Or at least record my thinking more. 
• Use the lifestyle principles to INSPIRE my drawing. There's no need to directly illustrate them. CAPTURE THE FEELING THROUGH DRAWING.
• I am lacking research into contemporary illustration. Research artists and what is happening at the moment - it will help me figure out where I see myself going. 
• I want people to like my work because they like my work, not because they just like the subject. I want it to make them feel a certain way, especially in this lifestyle based project.
