One of the biggest things I got from Shady Saffady's video is the whole "faking the effortlessness" thing. He builds all this painfully controlled base to do 10 strokes that will look effortless and magical in the end and it works

trick: do studies of your imaginative pieces like you'd from studies. Do small finished color comps. Takes time, but you can be as free as you want when painting the final piece, because it is already solved.. like a study

lol, good for you! I should to be forced to post horrible imaginative pieces so I'll be spurred by the burn to chop out more until I no longer suck

Now it's like "IMAGINATIVEEE WORK :D"

I like studies because atm I feel more free to express with brushstrokes etc. But yeah, sometimes! Haha I pretty much did that all year last year, meat. But I did learn how to use PS somewhat by doing loads of 'em

haha, funny i;m the opposite

I've neglected imaginative so long that muscle is quite feeble now, and I feel the same thing Olooriel does whenever I try

Yea only a few days I have to force myself to do studies. Usually I'm excited to learn something new now

I used to hate studies, but now I use it as an excuse to run away from imaginative

I also jsut hate doing studies lol

01 Mar 09:37

meat

see, great minds think alike, LOL

01 Mar 09:37

meat

agreeing with smrrfette and Aaron there :)

01 Mar 09:37

smrr

Haha exactly xD

01 Mar 09:36

meat

because you remember the study as relevant to something specific you either enjoy or hated doing, so the attached emotion reinforced memory, lol

01 Mar 09:36

Jonas Jerde

I usually start with an imaginative piece and do studies along the way

01 Mar 09:35

smrr

At everythaaaang :3

01 Mar 09:35

meat

studies will be more remembered if it's done in order to break through a specific obstacle you encountered during making an imaginative piece

01 Mar 09:35

Jonas Jerde

not just to get better at "painting"

01 Mar 09:35

smrr

Totally agreed! Taken me ages to realise it... but it's true. It's all about observing when it comes to study. Easier to understand if you paint the study and even better when you find a way to apply that study to your work.

01 Mar 09:35

meat

yes, imaginative work is very important - it works out a different section of our art brain

01 Mar 09:35

Jonas Jerde

I think the majority should be your own work, and do studies if you are struggling with something in your personal work.

01 Mar 09:34

Jonas Jerde

I think you do indeed learn more through imaginative work though... studies are good, but I think they are overvalued a bit.

01 Mar 09:34

smrr

All about correcting them mistakes. Couldn't agree more, meat

01 Mar 09:34

smrr

I used to feel that way too! Always used to give up on a piece because it isn't how I pictured it... now with the piece I'm working on... it's taking so long because I'm trying all I can to get it how I want. Making mistakes = good!
