THE 9 WARNING SIGNS OF AN AMATEUR ARTIST
1. AMATEUR
ARTISTS WAIT FOR INSPIRATION. While a professional artist will make a point sit down and work on their
art every day, an amateur only works on their art when the mood is right.
2. AMATEUR
ARTISTS WORK UNTIL SOMETHING ELSE COMES UP. A professional artist/writer/musician continues to
work until their muse has used up every last bit of creative energy in their
body and then keeps on working just to make sure that nothing is forgotten or
left behind.
3. AMATEUR
ARTISTS ARE CONSTANTLY CHANGING THEIR FOCUS. A professional artist knows that it takes years if
not decades of experimentation and practice to perfect their craft.
4. AMATEUR
ARTISTS BELIEVE THAT IF THEY BUILD IT, YOU WILL COME. A professional knows that there is more to
being an artist than simply creating art. They also have to know how to market and
sell their work as well.
5. AMATEUR
ARTISTS BELIEVE THAT SUCCESS WILL HAPPEN QUICKLY. A professional artist knows that this process will
often take much longer than they imagine.
6. AMATEUR
ARTISTS BELIEVE THEY DON’T NEED SCHEDULES OR ORGANIZATION. The professional artist knows that
one has to be organized and disciplined in their life in order to be reckless in
their work.
7. AMATEUR
ARTISTS NEVER FINISH THEIR WORK. Professionals artists have learned that their art is a process and
nothing they create will be perfect.
8. AMATEUR
ARTISTS ARE TOO BUSY LEARNING TO DO ANYTHING. Professional artists know that there will always be
more to learn but that does not stop them from making the mistakes and learning
as they go along.
9. AMATEUR
ARTISTS ISOLATE THEMSELVES FROM THE ARTIST COMMUNITY. As artists, writers, musicians, etc.
we must surround ourselves not only with the work of other artists in our field
but also the artist themselves.
