One thing I really liked about Kent’s Live Class this month was that he helped us lay a bedrock of motivation for ourselves by asking us to 1) find a piece of 2d artwork we liked, and 2) write a short backstory for it.
For me, because I took this to heart, I immediately flipped from “Meh, I’m not into sculpting yet, I might drop out of this class.” to “I really want to do this!”.
The Backstory Strategy is fantastic because it’s a small time-investment upfront (our backstories were capped at 200 characters or so) that can help motivate you for the long haul that is a 30, 40, 100 hour project (that won’t be all sunshine and roses).
