"Grace to me, in this scenario, means I accepted that the process of making something look realistic takes time and mistakes. Learning something new takes time. I’m not going to get it in one try or overnight or accomplish things on a timetable I set."
RAW. VULNERABLE. REAL.
Thank. You.
Very few artists share their "behind the piece" thinking and I appreciate you doing that with this endeavor. Keep working on subject matter that interest you are, heck, do it ALL!
This is great! Another art-related thing I've been thinking of recently is the cultivation of taste. It's one of the scariest parts to me - you might do something on purpose and in alignment with your taste and then you just need to let people react to it. What if your taste is bad? Or you lose faith in it? Scary, but exciting!!
Great eye drawing, I love when artists show their progression instead of just finished products.
Sharing is scary! It's always hard to put that part of yourself out there. Once it goes, though, it's not just yours anymore, because everyone who sees and interacts injects their own view of the world with their perspective. So, we do our best to create something that we love and is good enough to share, and then the rest is beyond us. And taste is... subjective. It's an important lens to keep in mind. Not everyone is going to love the work.
I always love seeing the process, too! Thanks for reading!
