visions

Dr.Moony (Jun 11, 2010)

I really like Frank Frazetta. His paintings are awesome but what I really love about him is his imagination, the fact that he painted his stuff really fast, that he had no problem starting to use his left hand.
That guy was a real inspiration and ass kicker.

Imagination is king

Hey sure. Draw with whatever you've got. Accuracy of lines doesn't matter that much, if you have a clear vision of what you want to draw.
Are the visions you're talking about visually clear and lasting? Care to tell me about one of them? :)

I feel like I've been relying a little too much on *happy* accidents with my paintings. Most of the time I just start to draw a few lines and then screwing with them until they turn into something I like. I can't really say beforehand what's going to come out and I have to live with what the canvas throws at me.
Reading about Frank gives me an incentive to practice a a different workflow where I aim for a straight vision.

elly (Jun 11, 2010)

Imagination is hard to get on a canvas for some artists, like me =p, but i see you have no prob doing so! I love the muted colors and the brush strokes! And Frank Frazetta is amazing!

Suntan (Jun 11, 2010)

Looks like he has morphed out of his surroundings. I like the sameness of them. Feels like he doesn't know what to do or want to do with the light on him. :)

dorothyblueeyes (Jun 12, 2010)

very good painting; you're probably just as good as Frazetta. A lot of people here are as good as commercial artists. I'm not a leftie, but I've had to learn to do a lot of things with my left hand as well as my right, like just write simply on a piece of paper.

If, for example you had a stroke, and you only could use the left side of your body, I have known people who train themselves how to paint with their left hand. Not easy, but when you have to do it, you can train that side of your brain to do it eventually.it just takes a huge amount of practice and training.Ouch.
