Oftentimes there's a great temptation to keep our creative work hidden until it is finished.
I think that, in most cases, that is a mistake and that we should constantly get feedback from others during the creation process. (Proverbs 15:22)
Of course, we should be wise about who we share these unpolished gems. (Matthew 7:6). Not all feedback will be helpful and not all should be taken into account, but very often someone will have a fresh perspective or a constructive criticism that you'll completely agree with.
Here's the latest version of a project I'm working on now:
I'm making a 'branding' animation for my home based computer graphics venture. I've started a thread here in a forum full of similar minded artists who may give me some good feedback. Hopefully I'll share some of what I've learned along the way with their community as well. (Proverbs 27:17)
I'm really excited to continue the project because I have set the expectation of some of these people, and they're kind enough to encourage me and challenge me along the way.
To whom should you show your unfinished work?
