The Jump [Thoughts]
8 years ago
So after doing a bunch of studies on my own time (anatomy and such) I began to think about how it all started, doing vector/tribal art (something I still do, just.. don't even post them anymore).
It just got a little nostalgic there at the end I suppose.
It's been a really really fun experience, mostly being that when I started doing digital painting I never thought I could do the things I do now!
From my own understanding I just want to say that there are a TON of things still wrong with my works, mostly stuff like perspective, anatomy and then expression. Where tribal art was concerned, the only thing I ever needed to focus on was expression - and, maybe I consider that one of the greater joys in what I like to do.
I love focusing on expression. I love conveying emotion and feeling. But I've hit a plateau so to speak - I cant express properly without the right tools, without understanding how the body moves, how the face changes, every little thing adds to the overall emotion the subject/character is feeling. For that, I've been trying my HARDEST to learn whatever I should've learned a long time ago (when I started doing more... artsy stuff instead of just tribal art all the time.
I guess this journal is more like a retrospective than anything. I've, grown a little in some ways where art is concerned, but with that growth I've always come to realize that I'm severely weak in many OTHER aspects.
*shrugs* I guess, like all things; this is just the way it is. If I stop here, it'll be the end of that. Buut, I need more, just so I can convey more. Just because I didn't get the chance to go to an art school/study art doesn't give me any reason to just up and leave after all. Only difference is that I've got to work harder. So I will! I just hope that you'll join me for this journey. And I really want to thank all of you.
Yes, all of you who've supported me through the years, from when I did my first painting in December of 2015 until now. I wish I could've grown faster; but I'm kind of a slow learner! : P
