Most of the time, the question “Can I do this?” denotes the start of any project. Last night it was, “Can I design 50 monsters?” But it can be anything… Can I draw something from an unusual or extreme angle or point of view? Can I make a sausage look cute? Can I give buttered toast a personality?
Most of the time, once I begin the mark-marking process to try to answer this original question, new questions emerge because of the mark marking that’s happening in front me. New questions replace the original one.
This process doesn’t make the original question less important or one I won’t answer in the end anyway. In fact, it’s quite contrary because it’s the question that got me started, which is the most important part of the process.
