Can someone explain to me how trial and error works for creative things like making art or music? I know the concept and have experienced it myself but how exactly does it happen?
Obviously you do things and get better, yeah. But the concept of just painting the lighting of boxes and skin seems so much more far fetched to me. I fail to see how that even works and continually doubt that it does, keeping my from painting at all.
