Description I wonder... what it's like to be stuck on a tiny piece of scrap paper until time whithers it away little by little until nothing's left... If drawings came alive, what would it ask their makers?

...

Just a spur of the moment thing. No, I'm not depressed! Inspired, yes! 8D

Text on the scrap of paper are from Jostein Gaarder's "Through a glass, darkly". One day I'd like to visit Norway and get his autograph *__*

A pretty girl or a pretty boy? You decide.

Congrats. I always like it when a random doodle turns out to look like something cool. I especially like how you put the scrap on another paper and then smudged the colors out behind him/her (I can see it both ways).
Lovely.

I love the pretty boy. He looks so sad though. If our creations did come alive I think they would thank us for giving them a chance to live. They would thank us for, out of all the images in our imagination, choosing them.

Oh wow, that's really conceptual. I always feel really bad because sometimes I'll be like... I feel like this is my best drawing, and then I'll trash the old ones or put them away somewhere to find in a few years so I can simply throw them away....

do you have any tips on young budding artists seeing as your art is so brilliant ^^

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Rinian In reply to Black-Obsidian [2008-01-25 02:55:52 +0000 UTC]

thanks!

hmm let's see... there will be frustrating times, but just keep on practicing and experimenting! Sometimes I'd draw the same thing over and over, and gradually I'd remember the strokes and proportions. Oooh, and when you've got the basics down, the next thing is to be unique, whether it's the coloring or drawing style, just try to develop a signature style that sets you apart from other artists. Aaaand try different things! It's a neverending learning process. Anyway art is self-expression, and the one who should most appreciate your art is you!

Nyaaa I hope I'm making sense @.@ G'luck~
