Future Art + Advice -- Legit Serious Journal.
11 years ago
First of all, this may seem odd to some people, but I am pretty excited about this year! I know that there will be great things coming my way, especially if I make it so. By that I mean-- If you want something good to happen, make it happen! Or at least try. You will always get a wrong answer if you don't put anything there in the first place.
Okie dokie. I really do want to work on my art this year, like actually referencing from photos more often to help me improve. Guys, don't try to go without using real life! You won't improve if you don't. You could just use other people's art, but that's not really a good way to improve. Develop your own style, and remember you can't expect yourself to be good in a blink of an eye, because you won't be. It takes years. You may think I'm super good, but it's only been maybe 5 years since I've started to draw seriously, and, sure, you may think that that's just enough time to become a pro at art. No. I have years and years ahead of me to improve. Everyone is improving every time they draw something, even if it might seem like they aren't. Everyone takes their own time to improve, because some people are slower, like me, than others. Even people who've been drawing as long as me might not even be at my level. Someone who is 10 years older than me might be at my level. It's okay.
My main focus this year will probably be referencing from photos and real life. Humans, other animals, even wolves. Creating full pieces is also something I want to do more often than I ever have. Sketches are nice, but I do those a lot. Don't be afraid to line your works. If you do it more frequently, you won't be so scared anymore. You might even start to like it.
If you are an artist or want to be an artist, be prepared to use lots of patience. You need patience for improving, patience for waiting for people to notice your works, patience to not go crazy when not getting that leg right, patience especially for just wanting so badly for those people to commission you, patience for ART in general.
Practice. Patience. But never Perfect.
Good luck, my friends & fellow artists,
Moss
