I learned to do this sort of thing as part of my -art- from playing games I loved. I played the games so many times, I started putting on limitations by myself, that would change every single play-thorough significantly to make it more enjoyable and to reconnect with that feel of wonder of exploration I enjoyed with the games originally.
I realized later, that I was doing this with drawing as well. I often set limitations like, I can only use the smudge tool in this one, I can only use vectors and nothing else etc. I think it greatly boosted creativity and took the works into a whole different tangent and forced me to think in new ways to solve stuff I had always done in a certain way, just like in those games

Every time artists do things like -I'm going to use a limited colour pallette-
-I'm going to stop using a grid to get the proportions perfect-
-I'm going to deviate from the reference here to create something more unique-
-I'm going to push these proportions-
-I'm going to alter the lighting here to be more dyanimic-
Aren't these examples of us creating problems for ourselves, to make ourselves more creative and improve our work?
Perhaps I'm just not understanding what they meant by creating problems, but that's what I thought Marshall was getting at.
Great show as always

I disagree with Proko's initial statement that a creative person is someone that produces something that's practical in the real world. That's called being innovative, and yeah, that's a type of creative person, but that's not all there is to it. I think it's arrogant to say that it's -true creativity- only if it's applicable to real-life problem solving. I mean it's semantics at the end of the day, but cmon. It's expressiveness and thinking outside the box. Would you not call a writer of fiction a creative person, just because his ideas in his world aren't grounded in reality and practical?

Hi, I want to make note on voice mail. From my childhood I was realy into sports. Now it- s freestyle mountain bike the most. Building dirt jumps by hand nad shovel with friends it creative and fun. but is physicaly hard. Riding is dangerous, so you have to focus of you may end up in hospital. After sesssion Im always physicaly tired, BUT in the best headspace I know for evening spent with drawing. So I love having other passion outside of making art.
Cheers and thank Stan and Marshal for great podcast

Diligence and Grit may have to do with creativity. I'm teaching myself how to draw, and challenges arrive all the time. Scott Roberston's book, -How to Draw: Drawing and Sketching Objects and Environments From your Imagination- is the same way in my opinion. Its a large black bag with pieces of insight. It raises a lot of questions that force me into further exploration(google, skillshare, youtube. Take the Perspective chapter for Example. It's only 7 pages long!

Is creativity linked with learned helplessness? From what I gathered from Marshal's story. I think it could be the more creative people are the people who choose to not give up so soon. People who think they can do it is more likely to be able to do it. I think a more creative person just a person who cares and puts more thought in to the topic at hand. A person who is not in the mentality thinking that they are helpless from the beginning.

I create limitations for my self all the time in architectural design. The more limitations I have, the easier it is for me to solve problems. It gives me structure to be able to make decisions. Just staring at a blank page is intimidating. But as soon as you start placing limitations about what you want to create, it turns your blank page into a puzzle that needs to be solved.

I loved this podcast as much as the others, but for me it really stands out how few women are talked about. In this episode I didn't hear one female name out of all of the examples. I'm not your activist feminist, but I'm a woman and I like to relate to other women in the creative/illustrative business.

Pixel artists use a variety of restrictions to come up with a very unique art style. Be it a reduced set of colors, a set of fixed colors, restrictions on resolution and even restrictions on how to use colors in 8 x 8 pixel tiles (C64, NES. Those restrictions created a wholly new art style imho.
