Art is not about art, but about life
and how we see it.
The way in which you are able to
come across is in correltation with what
you know, what you kept out/in and then had
the power to imagine.

Recomended : I highly recommend a Knowlegde
of Anatomy, this way you can know for example :all
the muscles in the body or for example how many heads tall a person is. This is important for proper proportioning! I recommend Dynamic Anatomy By Burne Hogarth, best Anatomy book out there, all those muscles i never knew about shame on me.
Also reccomened : Drawing on the Right side of
the brain, a study which delves into negative and positive space, and also jumps into how the brain works and how it communicates the rights and left of it. Amazing. Learned plenty.
Lastly i would Highly reccomend studying the
Great artists of the past. (This way if you are serious enough to even care at all that is)
You can be exposed to the different movements.
Mannerism, Cubism, Pre Raphealites,Symbolism, who knows maybe even plagorism and male sho-vanism!

I hope you're gonna be back soon. What I know is that I will hugely miss your creativity and your art. It has always been expressive art and I can't do anything else, but wish myself and teh community that you will return to keep sharing this precious resource again here. My best wishes to you.

you'd be surprised how many feel much the same, we're our own worst critic, it's the temperamental artist in us all... go & create, enjoy your work, keep reaching for that next plateau, then come back & share it with us once again... my best wishes too in finding what it is you're looking for :]

Trust me i definitely know the feeling..i'm ok..but i know i could do so much better if i had the time and the help to coax it out, right now i can't even draw women and i'm in a real slump drawing in general right now, goes along great with the rst of my life's slump too..sighs and as fo scanning line work better..that's all in adjustments...fine tuning your scanner setting and whatever else you take it into afterwords..but good luck anyway, hope ya come back stuff loooks great..

I know I will miss you sleep very hard and even if the scan isn't that precise, your work speaks to us. And I know the hardest censor .. sitting right in your head, telling you all time about your imperfection. But as I always told you sleep, your lines do speak, you always have to tell something. I am sure that you will find your way of creating lines in a way ... that makes you happy. I can't wait for it. Let's keep in touch, friend! All the best to you ...

You know me more than I know you, but please know that I understand exactly how you feel, and I'm sure Meli can testify to that. She has a couple of watercolours of mine that look SO much better than the scanned copies I've posted here as only a high end scanner could reach the spectrum required...and I'm not rich. This is what turned me to exploring digital art more as that way I could get past such hurdles and show my true artist to all. Don't give up, find a way around it, if you need help, please email me, I'm always here to listen HUGS And please, don't go, and if you do decide to, please come back soon, we need good artists like you around these halls :)
