*moans* Art block again!
I swear I get art constipation, That must be it!
But I did some analyzing... and when I analyze things I rarely understand them, hence the analyzing. So I took a look at my artwork. And I realized I shouldn't have joined deviant art so young.
It impacts you as an artist, while its a great place to gather inspiration, ideas, and simply appreciate artwork. It also does some VERY high destructive work on your own image as an artist. You look around and since your young, naive, and striving for greatness you say things like "I wanna draw more like..." or "I wanna paint like...." "I wish I could digital paint like...". Your always striving for others approval, and your own self approval of your creativity and production. Growing up I always looked at my art and thought "Gahh if I could digital paint like "insert random artist here" I would be sooo much more happy with my work".
Whatever I posted was always a stiff replica of what I was trying to be like, nothing on my galleries really shows much of my creativity, only my skill with a few mediums. The drawings you've seen in my gallery are again, more attempts of me trying to be good like someone else. My sketches where stiff , worried of approval of the public. Would it ruin my artists image?
I've decided To stop that, that may be why my art block has lasted this long. I love you all but I haven't gotten much "Helpful" feedback. Which is ok since I take critiques with a grain of salt for two reasons. One, people like good anatomy (I do too!) but anatomy does not always need to be good, in fact a number of my pieces I draw deformed for a reason. I'm in it for the emotion I convey not the perfect body shape and size.But in many instances good anatomy is key~ Some pieces I may want good anatomy. Perspective and poses, again I'm always worried I'm gonna fuck up a pose, so I always stay in my safe zone (Front simple flat poses) I personally think I wont get over this till I post some bad poses and practice. I need to vent my creativity outward instead of keeping it in. I don't wanna tie myself down with peoples ideals of what art is. I want feedback, but its almost like I dunno what I wanna ask yet. So if you wanna vent your thoughts on me go ahead.
My art is gonna be pretty bad for the next posts, but I don't care. But for the people who watched me for one reason or another, please be patient. I wanna find reason to create again, I've lost touch with a side of me.
Thanks~
