visible: drawing the picture
invisible: research! with retro art styles, learning just who you’re imitating and what inspired them helps so much. and beyond individual artists, things like material restraints and social movements also have a lot of impact… i ❤️ historical context
I've been thinking a lot about visible vs invisible skill layers. i.e every craft has outer layers of skills that laypeople can recognise, and inner layers that you need expertise and experience to perceive at all. Could y'all think of examples of visible vs invisible skills in your own discipline?
