Quite recently I found that I unconsciously was using the George Lucas way of creating things - and while I´m not that acclaimed (yet) I found that his method is very useful for any creator or artist. Let me explain it in the following sentences:
In the grand scheme of things, what Lucas did was realizing early on with his project, what he was capable of doing and what not. That is the reason why parts of the Star Wars movies was filmed more than 20 years later.
But as someone who was in the know since Lucas and special effects teams worked together, he knew quite a lot would be going on in the future of special effects and VFX that filmmaker in the early 1980´s could only dream of. He simply used that knowledge to his advantage.
With the picture on top of this post I literally did the same; I did a rough sketch like the one to the left and felt rather uninspired and not capable of doing the right coloring with it.
Only 5 weeks later, I picked that exact shitty sketch up and threw some paint on it, no matter what. I know this is not the perfect example, but it does not always need to have an imperial scale in order to matter. Sometimes it is just a postponed sketch that you feel unable to fill with life and later on along the way you remember about that and feel more capable to achieve the thing you wanted.
That, in my understanding is the Luas way of getting things done.
Go forth and create now! Go with the flow!
