Talent, Skill, Craft

Talent, Skill, Craft. What does creativity require?

Talent is the innate aptitude you’re born with. I think of it as a real thing but relatively unimportant in the making of art.

Skill is what you build over time through practice. I think this is the most important aspect of becoming adept at your art.

Craft is the care and perspective you bring to your art. You develop this with your taste and your experience. There’s no substitution for time to develop a sense of craft that you can use to create impactful art.
