Voodoo: why thank you so much for the flattering words :3... Even a GIF! Wow! <3

As far as mythology and stuff, no i don't give much concern for the sentimental value of things... I guess that's why im more an analytical person, I just don't enjoy stories that much unless they are some sort of direct tie in to like an educational thing. For you Voodoo, this approach might or might not be the best route for learning. If you think yourself to be a very technical and by the books person, it certainly will, but it might not. I could be wrong, but you certainly are an expressive person, and you type a whole lot of stuff with each post and organize it very decoratively like its a story. I see that as more expressive and artistic, but maybe you could get a lot out of it.

I used to see Forrest Immel in like 2013-2014 when he would do very analytical studies and thought he was a try hard, but now I see just how much it helped him and fuck his stuff is so good now. 

My best friend is more a right brained person on a lot of things, like we're into the same kind of music, and he really enjoys like the stories of the bands and their lives, but I don't see any use in knowing that stuff. I kinda zone out when he tells me about them, but I appreciate the sentiment. He knows like actors names and peoples names in movies/books stuff, i just cant care about any of that. 

Art has been a big struggle for me because I've gone at it the wrong way, starting with niccolaides, who is a very emotional and like, cerebral teacher who talks about the abstract theories of gesture and weight and form. Maybe all that stuff did help, but I should have started with that "drawing on the right side of the brain" book. I guess the pun in the title is "the right" as in the "correct side." 

I have all this paper in my room thats been scribbled on, and now i use very very little and learn much faster. Art has been such a struggle for me, i usually have a very rough start learning anything. Anyways, now that I know what to look for in things, im pretty sure i can learn a hell of a lot faster, since i can dilute things to their core elements, and even their more finer details. I really love alex negrea's approach, i think i learn most similar to him, he's very methodical and scientific in his studies. He went from this to this in a year, so must work pretty damn well.

I really want to draw hot ladies well, it's always been a big desire of mine but never a strength. So my next few concepts will be 2 hot ladies and 2 fetching fellas. Just no background concepts.

So today I got prepped for tomorrow doing caricatures, this is an example of a summation of like 70% of the things i learned that i can verbalize from my fave caricature artist atm Aj Jensen. He's from atlanta Georgia, which is very close to where i live, like a 2 hr drive, so I can dig that. Again, mostly what i do is just writing on top of pictures, i don't usually do these example things, but i could probably do it with any artist. kinda kewl. 

(oh and for researching golems i just grabbed some pictures off artstation and DA and just analyzed them lol)
