Don't think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.

Andy Warhol
About This Quote

Don’t think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art. You don't need to consider if your piece is good or bad. Just get it done and let everyone else decide that.

Many artists will try to gauge the response of the public before they start working. They will then create something that is not their best work so they can judge if their audience likes it. If so, the artist will develop their craft by continuing to make what they believe their audience wants to see.

Eventually, however, the artist will tire of this process and realize that the only way to create the art that is in them is by doing what they believe in without regard for what others think.
