art goals
8 years ago
since i did the art summary thing last week ive been thinking about what i want to make my art look like moving forward...
first of all, i know ive improved tremendously this year in my art, especially from summer til now. i am working around my fear of messing up and "wasting" paper or materials, since its not a waste if i learn something out of it. plus, i have way too many art supplies anyway.
probably the reason ive been improving so much is i am constantly looking at other artists' work, on my walls and on my phone wallpaper and on sites like this, even if im too shy to talk to most of the artists i admire i learn a lot from looking at their work. sometimes, too, i mirror stuff they do that i like, like putting a white outline around the pic to make it pop.
the last couple digital pieces i made i think have a similar aesthetic since i was working on them all around the same time period. that makes me feel good since lately ive been worrying that my art (especially my more awkward digital stuff) looks like it wasn't even drawn by the same person.
i also like using thick lines that are colorful in my digital art. when i do traditional its a lot harder to do colorful lines than black lines but i like the colorful ones a lot more. so now that im getting into digital art i really appreciate that i can make anything any color with the same amount of effort.
this year, i also finally (begrudgingly) started trying to get a better understanding of color theory. i dont post barely a fraction of the art i make on here but looking back on what i made this year its rly clear to see when i started picking up on it, and im excited to improve.
my true goal, though, is to make my art look as much like drugs as possible. if ur not aware im rly into psychedelics and i love when i can successfully make art that moves and breathes when im tripping. ive noticed a good way to jumpstart the process is including a lot of contrasting bright colors, using thick lines, and arranging the piece in different planes of view.
anyway these were just some thoughts i wanted to get down, if u read this thank u and i hope ur inspired to think abt ur own art improvement n goals!!
