Back at Art for the nth Time

in Liketulast year

I know it's been several months since I committed to finishing a sketch to almost something nice because of work but I finally found the time. Created using iPad and Ibis Paint, both new things to learn getting used to. While doing the sketch, I just imagine tiny chains preventing my hands and fingers from committing to the lines. That's the mental combination of being rusty at the skill and perfectionism doing its reeeeeeeee at the back of my head.

It feels great to have it done. Like a splinter plucked off but then there's the nagging pain of looking my work and thinking, damn, I know I could make it look better but it just doesn't look right. Of course getting off my own head I already recognize this pitfall and know it's not a big deal. I'm my own worst critique and going throw the process of creating the piece I imagine a crowd around me commenting at every redo I have to make. It's comforting despite how bad the imagery sounds like. When I listen to the critiques inside, I tend to listen which parts makes sense. If the hair looks awful, it's likely I need to work on shading and lighting.

Crossdressing cosplayer in black and white was the art prompt I was working. Why? nothing, it's a random challenge. The last one was space firebreathing pandas but I lost the digital image when my old drive was corrupted.

It's so satisfying to cross off those old items off the list. The motion / rhythm in your lines is a really nice touch!

I appreciate the compliment :>

I know, in the eye of an artist, you don't think you have a perfect work. You'll always feel like you could have done it better, tweaked this here and all of that. But from someone who's very much not an artist but a huge appreciator of all things art, this is more than beautiful, ethreal even.🌺

I can relate to this especially when someone performs an art I'm I like to watch but don't do. Hearing a friend skilled at the guitar, I wouldn't even know if they're out of tune if they're just strumming a rhythm but I like the sound anyway.

Then you know that that's exactly how I feel towards your work. Such a pleasure to meet you.🤗

Simply amazing, 😍😍

Thank you :>
