Love Your Art Meme
11 years ago
rotsuoywolfen made a meme. I liked it.Find a picture in your gallery you love a lot, find one of your character if you need a pick-me-up, or make this a challenge and pick one randomly.
Okay, now name five things about it you absolutely love. Even if you aren't particularly fond of the image, list them off.
Wait, what are you doing, don't just list them off, explain why you're fond of those things!
I don't care if you think no one will read the explanations, but you will when you're writing them, and that's what's important.
No negativity. If you find yourself writing something negative, or starting to think how you could have done something better, don't. We all know you are a wonderful artist and are striving to better your talent daily, but this post is about you and feeling good about your art.

1. I love the flow and composition of the picture. You know, the stuff you learn about in art classes like the ... one I've taken since becoming an adult. I love how the eye is immediately caught by her dark body in the left half of the space and the slope of the grass directs it from her figure to the water.
2. I really do love the grass. I enjoy the colored layers slowly tapering back to the darker grass and eventually into the mist where only faint outlines can be seen. I love when I'm unintentionally awesome.
3. Her body is just... I can't stop staring at and admiring it. I'm really proud of her well muscled figure and even her oddly colored nipples. She originally had normal pink nipples until I start messing with the hue filter and suddenly it snapped that the blue is just... softer
4. Her hair. I'm always obsessed with coloring hair and trying to make it look like Lady Amalthea's in detail and strand with from The Last Unicorn. Although it wasn't shaded much in the show, I think it keeps the essence of what I was going for. This is a woman who is by her very nature both wild and tame at the same time. You can see it in her near flawless waves.
5. Her left hand. I always struggle with getting the inside of the hand to look like it has the mounts and the folds with the little pit in there like they're supposed to. I got it very right this time. I love her claws on that hand and how her pinky extends from the others in a lady-like gesture as if she were sipping a cup of tea. Proper ladies always extend the pinky while water bending.
Now for a quick summary, how do feel about this picture, and about yourself?
I absolutely love this latest lineless painting, and it was well worth the time I spent obsessively working on it in one single night. So far, the lineless paintings I've done have never disappointed me and I can definitely seen I've improved since my last major one with Peaps.

Yay! I really love that picture too. Your love of it really shows in the care and detail you put into it. I'm glad this little meme could be of use to you! We artists deserve a quick pick-me-up, even if we aren't completely down to start with. It's good for the soul. X3~
