Jumping to a conclusion!

Wed Sep 3, 2008, 11:49 PM
So.

Two things are holding me back from having super awesome arts, I think, more than anything else.

ONE is lack of backgrounds. I have a hankering to try things Mucha style, and go for the Art Nouveau style as it's easy and beautiful all at the same time. Don't even have to draw realistically either, 'cause everything should be heavily outlined. What I NEED to do is practise drawing inanimate things. Plants, furniture, boyfriend. You know, stuff that doesn't move and is good background material. :P I figure if I can start making drawings more complex, instead of just an OC of mine floating in space (who the crap cares about someone else's imaginary person, anyway?) maybe I can gain some more insight into my style. I would like to work especially on landscapes, but I just find the idea of drawing something so stationary boring. Though I'm sure it's not. And I always hated drawing still-lifes, more than any other subject ever before. Ugh. Static lighting, static pose, static objects. I mean, I can recognise it may be helpful for rendering or realism, but it's just not me.

TWO...I need to draw more nudity. [link] describes it fairly accurately. (And illustrates--hence why the drawing has so many hits. :P)
Have an art trade coming up that should hit this on the nail, somewhat.

:giggle: I hear you on that - backgrounds, and plants! I like seeing your OC's, but I think it would be interesting to see them more interacting with stuffs (of course, this comes from a person who can't do that to save her life ;P)

And, as for the nudity... sadly, it at least gets you exposure. Now, not sure if it's the type of exposure you want, but still, something ;P
