Today’s poll is an interesting one for me because I honestly didn’t think about what the results would be like. I just was curious to know what had helped others improve at art the most, and then I listed several things that I knew had helped me.
But looking at the answers so far it’s almost like a “duh” moment—what’s the best way to improve at art? Practice! Whether it’s painting, drawing, sculpting, etc.
Of course, I understand why there are some votes for the other options as well. For instance, I’m extremely grateful I got the chance to study art in college, and even more grateful for several art mentors throughout my life who helped me grow as an artist.
With these poll results, however, it’s pretty obvious that there’s one thing which will work for almost anyone, and that’s just spending time making art.
For those of you who haven’t voted yet, please do! You’ll be able to see the current results once your vote is cast.
(And if you’re looking for specific ideas or tips on how to improve at art, I’d suggest checking out EmptyEasel’s art and painting tips.)
What do you think has helped you develop the most, artistically?

Truth be told, for me the answer usually depends on where the sales are. However, a few weeks ago I thought it would be interesting to find out whic. . .
read moreIt's only been up for a short time but this poll looks about like I expected it to—the majority of you have been creating art for a while. Of course, since the total number of votes is still pretty low everything could change in the next few weeks. I imagine it won't but I've been wrong before. . .
read moreHere's another easy poll question for all of you artists out there—how much time per day do you spend on art? Obviously there's no right or wrong answer since everyone has different circumstances, it's just always interesting to see how other artists respond and where you fit into the mix. So . . .
read moreThere are so many different ways and places to sell art these days that recently I began to wonder where most artists sell their art. I know EmptyEasel focuses a lot on selling and marketing art online, but perhaps it's still traditional galleries that most artists use. Maybe it's personal art. . .
