Art Thread for Artists

Random question. How long have you been drawing/doing art? And are you self taught or did you go to school for it?

I tried drawing once lol. Anatomy and proportions were just something I could never grasp and you seem to have a very solid understanding of them.

Wow so lots of experience for yourself.

Lol I hear that. I’m the same way with music. Always something to learn or be frustrated by, but the need to create outweighs that so it works. I think there was someone on the forum in that position actually with Ultimate Artist. The name escapes me but it seemed like it really helped them grasp fundamentals.

love these.

and am scared of them.

especially the ones who are like the one on the bottom.

Somehow the ones with soft parts are even more bad-ass.

like, ā€˜there’s a reason we can survive here. stay if you’d like to find out…’

It’s funny I looked at the bottom one and I was like this looks like someone going through tough stuff. I feel for this creature.

The body language looks deeply contemplated yet zoned out. And the single light surrounded by darkness looks like isolation.

Something tells me we’re both right.

Was about to post this on my own journal. But guess it goes here too.

I found this book, by this artist, when I was 19, and it was love at first sight. It spoke to something that had always been in me.

Nice when that happens.

This is exactly the guy who if I met in a dark alley I would invite him to the pub for a beer.

Heavy recon today or maybe just life in general, not sure. Wrote this today. Seemed to have helped a bit.

First of all:

Yes. This.

Secondly:

This helped me just now. Right now, again, actually.

Listening/Listened (just finished) to this with my 7 minutes of subliminals today.

This is good.

Thank you.

Thanks for listening. One of the things I’ve always appreciated about music is how it can capture a moment in time or encapsulate a state and send that out to others, I think it’s the coolest thing.

Just listened again.

So far that’s my personal favorite from you.

I think it’s a permanent addition to the playlist.

It’s truly excellent.

Wow thanks! This is encouraging to hear. I feel like I’m entering a new chapter with my music lately and this was me trying to express more without getting lost in refinement and perfectionism.

I don’t think we’re ever satisfied as artists, like I had to release that cause it was the only decent beat I can come up with and to not get stuck in the trap of not releasing anything…
