How can these quotes help you create better art?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <em>Steal Like an Artist<\/em>, Austin Kleon (a self-described \u201cwriter who draws\u201d) shares his tips for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/why-more-is-less\/\">maximizing<\/a> your creativity, finding inspiration, breaking out of a creative rut, and connecting with other people doing exciting work. His advice applies to anyone who uses creative thinking in their work, not just to artists in the traditional sense.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the top <em>Steal Like an Artist <\/em>quotes with explanations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-quotes-from-steal-like-an-artist\">Quotes From <em>Steal Like an Artist<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/steal-like-an-artist\/preview\">Steal Like an Artist<\/a> <\/em>is a brief primer on Kleon\u2019s top 10 pieces of advice for aspiring creatives. The book itself combines traditional text with Kleon\u2019s original illustrations and hand lettering to showcase each idea visually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of Austin Kleon&#8217;s <em>Steal Like an Artist <\/em>quotes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cSeeing yourself as part of a creative lineage will help you feel less alone as you start making your own stuff. I hang pictures of my favourite artists in my studio. They&#8217;re like friendly ghosts. I can almost feel them pushing me forward as I&#8217;m hunched over my desk.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve set up your life in a way that allows you to focus on creating, it\u2019s time to start pulling inspiration from the work of other artists. According to Kleon, there is no such thing as a wholly original piece of creative work\u2014every creator is influenced by other creators in some way. Accepting this truth releases you from the pressure of creating something the world has never seen before.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Kleon\u2019s view, once you embrace the creative influence other artists have on you, your job is to curate that influence. Do this by filling your physical and digital spaces with art, ideas, objects, and people that move and inspire you; this will set the tone for your own creative work. On the flip side, if you surround yourself with things that bore or depress you, that will negatively impact your own work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cPeople love it when you give your secrets away, and sometimes, if you\u2019re smart about it, they\u2019ll reward you by buying the things you\u2019re selling.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019re ready for people to see your work, the internet is the best tool at your disposal because people from all over the world can easily find your work. Kleon recommends creating a website and a social media presence. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/hub\/society-culture\/arts\/sharing-your-art\/\">Share your completed work<\/a> as well as some glimpses of your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/the-creative-process-2\/\">creative process<\/a> so that others can learn from you (and you can learn from them).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/share-your-work\/\">sharing your work<\/a>, the internet is a great place to connect with other creative people. Kleon recommends using social media to find people doing work that inspires you. Then, spark up a friendship by complimenting them. If you want to express your appreciation for an artist (whether well-known or not), Kleon recommends posting a public tribute to their work on your website or social media account rather than messaging them privately. That way, the artist will feel appreciated but won\u2019t feel pressured to respond.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cNobody is born with a style or a voice. We don\u2019t come out of the womb knowing who we are. In the beginning, we learn by pretending to be our heroes. We learn by copying.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Kleon believes that the best way to get started as an artist is to copy the work of your creative heroes. Making copies will help you develop a better understanding of how the original creator made that piece of art. For example, if you\u2019re learning to paint, you might paint a copy of the <em>Mona Lisa. <\/em>In the process, you\u2019ll have to examine the original work closely, so you\u2019ll begin to understand why da Vinci used certain colors in the places he did. Then, when you paint your own, original work, you\u2019ll have a better understanding of how to use color.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that, when you copy, your work will inevitably fall short of the original (after all, no novice painter could perfectly reproduce the <em>Mona Lisa <\/em>on the first try). However, according to Kleon, this isn\u2019t a failure\u2014it\u2019s the source of your strength. The ways that your copies differ from the original are what make you unique as an artist. Lean into those differences to discover and develop your own creative voice. (This step is also crucial because, if you never add anything unique to your copies, your work will just be a poor imitation of the original instead of something new and transformative.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThe trick is to find a day job that pays decently, doesn\u2019t make you want to vomit, and leaves you with enough energy to make things in your spare time. Good day jobs aren\u2019t necessarily easy to find, but they\u2019re out there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of prioritizing your creative work is not allowing the rest of your life to get in the way. For that reason, Kleon recommends being proactive about your finances so that you won\u2019t be constantly distracted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/worrying-about-money\/\">money worries<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way to get your finances in order is to find a job outside your creative endeavors. Having a day job provides benefits beyond financial stability: It gives you a routine to build on, so you can easily slot in creative time every day. Furthermore, it maintains your connection to other people who might inspire you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you looking for Steal Like an Artist quotes from Austin Kleon?
