Great tips! I think the writing aspect is lost on a lot of artists at first.
It took me a while to realize that people seemed to be much more engaged with my drawings that had more written about them. Its been great though because it got me thinking about my art more and I have had a blast writing about what I make and I think it has made the art better.
Definitely!
Luckily for me, in highschool for advanced art, we had to keep journals. I think that helped me enormously, had to pay more attention to what I do and why. Now it's so much easier to express myself (artistically) :D
