Herro. I've been going through a bit of 'artist's block' lately and wanted to get some feedback from the great and mighty 2draw community. What do you do to keep yourself inspired? Is it other 2draw artists? Music? Traditional art? A bit of undigested cheese? Do you ever feel you are more creative based on your mood? For instance, I feel my best art has been inspired by depression, pain, and just generally hard times, emotionally. When I am happy and active, I tend to have less desire...

That's excellent. I really like the style and the polish, well done. Looking through the versions was a pleasure, I love process. :)

Thanks all. :) JoeNobody: no, she's someone else, but you know what they say about Asians! [JK - I'm part Asian myself] On the right is my sister and on the left is her friend in this picture. |

Thank you. I wasn't going for morbid or disturbing on this, but I can see why one might see it that way. I don't believe the song is a tale of murder.

It's amazing how quickly you captured all the right details. I dream of developing such skills.

Trying some more in this very opaque, loose style from a photo of Tilda Swinton (very beautiful actress). I'm not sure I can pull it off this time.- Couldn't really pull it off this time. I ended up repainting it with a focus on details instead and did a value study; pretty much a failure since I couldn't do it the way I intended.
comd (edited Mar 20, 2006)
Thanks all for the comments. I have mixed feelings about this one - I don't completely dislike the end result (though I ran out of space before I got started on the hair again), but it was really a cop out as I reverted back to a style that was comfortable to me. I wanted to paint once again in the style of my earlier picture, and this time things just didn't seem to click like they did before. I think part of it is because I went even bolder this time with the contrast - the last time I built up more gradually with the tones. I also think it was a mistake to go with a celebrity before I had this technique down since I started becoming too concerned about having some sense of likeness (the last one doesn't resemble the person in the photo, but that didn't bother me since I didn't know who he was and didn't have a very good feel for how he looked). That also made me start thinking more about lines again which is something I wanted to avoid. The last one also had very prominent shadows and I could feel the form coming out of them even when I was just painting with two colors. I ended up redoing most of this picture and became a slave to the photo again. I'm going to have to keep trying harder before I can get this technique down.

This dude is smart.

I keep coming back to this to look at the eyes. The whole thing works but I think the eyes are magnificent.
Axil62 (Mar 21, 2006)
Yes yes, quite so. I would most assuredly agree. |

Well, this is pretty much what I think of when I hear Across The Universe by The Beatles. Its not my best work really, but its not my worst either.
Rosemary (Mar 15, 2006)
Words are flying out like..endless rain into a paper cup..They slither while they pass..They slip away across the universei love that song :) maybe you could add some more shading as it looks kinda flat..tho at the minute it looks like a night scene in pepperland lol yeah I fixed it up a little its still based on the beatles song Across The Universe.. and so cha it didn't turn out so great but I'm up for comments and stuff
