Art students
learn a great deal by studying and duplicating the works of celebrated artists.
In class, students are encouraged to learn the techniques of renown creators, mimic
their style, and even reproduce their famous works. However, the ultimate goal
is not to become a devotee of a particular artist. It’s to tap into the
skillsets and vision that made their art exceptional, then use these skills to
make new, original creations.
These same
methods can be used by writers to learn marketing. We can find people who are
exceptional at marketing. Study their techniques. Practice mimicking their
systems—and then create our own.
