Scraps folder seems too easy to overlook
8 years ago
So okay, the scrap page is for "unfinished" or "unpolished" work.
I'm going to be posting rough sketches in my main gallery, because they are finished.
They are exactly what I set out to create.
Rough sketches.
They're as polished and finished as any other rough sketch that might never be completed.
So that's what I will put on my artistic license here.
I hope some folks might enjoy these sketches.
So I need to make them visible.
I'll try to organize my gallery folders for those that want to see work that's further along than that.
But I kind of like the saying that art is never finished.
I think it's easier to capture a clear image of the things I see with a camera, and the things in my imagination, by hand.
It can be hard to capture thoughts that change as quickly as mine tend to.
But the more I do this, the more they solidify into something more real.
I suppose that's why I like rough sketches -because I can see the art of creation then.
The process, of sorts;
A step along the way.
Maybe there will be more, maybe there will not.
I don't think perfect is really a thing art can be.
It is what it is.
Maybe some folks see an image, and think there should be more, or have ideas on how to change it.
I suppose sometimes, I can be happy with a sketch just the way it is.
That is not to say I do not wish to improve - I intend to do that always.
But I'm not going to get much practice by trying to perfect every single line of art I attempt.
Maybe that's an integral feature in art - the involvement of an imperfect creative influence.
Otherwise, I think it seems more like math.
I think math can be beautiful too, though.
For example, as a part of music - Carefully measured tones, timing, and volume, all in a pattern, with a creative flair.
Maybe that's why I like EDM so much - because I like math.
I find the creation of an electronic tone fascinatingly mathematical.
There's something pretty to me about a uniform wave-form, and a precision pattern that can sound so... energetic.
Heck, I find it pretty incredible audio math can evoke an emotional response.
But I digress.
It's a challenge, drawing something from my imagination, as it requires that I make real something is not, yet.
So even if it's a rough sketch full of imperfections...
It's something more than there was before.
...so yes, that's why I'm gonna put scraps in my main gallery: so people can see!
