today's life study

am i a beautiful artist yet?

[darktiste]

i think you should rethink on how you feel about your art because i sense that you want to be accept as a ''good artist'' but i fact you should be more focus on improving first.It good to be approve but is that all that really matter? for me the answers is no.This should be a faculative goal i think.

Being a great artist is not just about drawing painting what ever it is about making for art.I think it also to be able to communicate with art.

hey dude, i think it's useless to rush your studies now, since you don't have the fundamentals of volume and space ! It's better to do 10 hands focusing all your attention on proportions, volume, etc, rather than rushing, and doing 100 hands where you put no thoughts on it and all you do is barely copying the shapes of your hands . You have to think a lot whils drawing and painting, you must understand what you're doing ! it's easy to draw thoughtlessly, while your mind is wandering, but it's harder to put all your energy and your focus to spend 2-3 hours fully thinking about learning and actually making huge progress !!! Anyway, keep up your efforts dude !

[vansty]

thx kikindaface, i stopped doing the 100 hands thing because i just went on autopilot after the first 10-20. now i am thinking a lot more while i study and i feel like i'm learning faster.

[vansty]

something i was working on before i did some studies and saw how bad it was. i may keep the idea but i'll have to repaint it from scartch.

[vansty]

OOOKAY. i've decided that from today on i will be posting daily. even if it just some scraps :/

i was working on this before i decided to stop painting and do anatomy studies all november.
