Don't worry about your originality. You couldn't get rid of it even if you wanted to. It will stick with you and show up for better or worse in spite of all you or anyone else can do.

Personal experimentation is revealing, and once you get into it, immensely engaging.

The real artist's work is a surprise to himself.

Cherish your own emotions and never undervalue them.

No work of Art is really ever finished. They only stop at good places.

Get the few main lines and see what lines they call out.

Good composition is like a suspension bridge - each line adds strength and takes none away.
