"Hey Fedo, wanted to drop by and say thanks for taking the time to post that post you posted."

My pleasure

"It's quite interesting to hear your thoughts considering how rapidfire and abundant they are and how it contrasts with your drawings, which, to me, have an uncanny-ness/morbidity(?) to them. "

Hmm, I'm not sure what you mean by this, as both my drawings and thoughts seem to be rapidfire and and all over the place haha...

"By all means if it's to warm up and exercise or relax, go for it. For larger audience purposes...Going to have to really push that style so others know what you're going for specifically instead of wondering whether it's supposed to be sexy or a statement on mishaped bodies, you know. "

I think it spurs a lot from not knowing what I want to see, and kind of being rushed into all of this. It has a lot of psychological implications that end up looking very ugly. Since, I somewhat became an artist reluctantly, it will take time to figure out what my actual desire is to show in art.


"Could be due to factors others have pointed out, but some things I feel would really help is practicing more shape/proportion design (if every feature is big, no features are big and the face looks small instead), seeing if you can add some polish or refine your sketches further, or considering contrast between active and inactive areas (subtle curves to contrast the intense curves on the faces) cause you're like a machine gun when it comes to sketching."

See, I've done that a lot, learning different styles and proportions and it ends up making my work look even more disjointed and strange. But what I think you mean is refinement, which I can see the point of. Some of my works look like they're from a completely different artist even consecutively. I suppose that comes from me being able to do impressions well, but it could mean other things. But yea, I don't know, I'll try to figure something out, refinement sounds good, but I don't know what I want to refine...

it'll take me time, this sketchbook is truly a psychological battlefield, the different phases and mindsets I go through. Hopefully, someone will get a thrill seeing these things happen in real time since I post daily. Thanks for stopping by, my friend.
