In 2016 I presented "The Habits of Effective Artists" at the Blender conference, which to my surprise went viral! Today it has just shy of 3 Million views on Youtube.

Well I re-watched the talk in 2020 (with four years more experience under my belt) and changed my mind on a few things. In this episode I'll share which habits aren't applicable to beginners, and what I'd replace them with.

And if you haven't seen the original talk, don't worry: I go through each habit first so you can consume this as is a standalone episode.

The Andrew Price Podcast is for artists who want to level up. I'll talk about ways that you can solve problems like burnout, coming up with ideas, getting feedback, and hard questions like should you go to art school? 

Beginners and professionals welcome! There's something for everyone.
