How to Fail - Draftsmen S3E21

Marshall and Stan sit down to talk about one of the scariest, but most important things an artist needs to learn: How to fail, and how to use that failure to succeed. Not only do the two discuss the importance of failing and landing back on your feet, they also chat about how to pivot from a failure, creating situations where failing is okay, keeping your expectations realistic, and how to retain motivation after repeated failures.
