Better art

Fri Apr 10, 2009, 8:35 PM
Lately I've been trying to figure out better ways of making art, and I think I've learned some things.

Trying to make something great doesn't really pay off. You worry so much about what other people will think and your own standards that you don't grow as an artist. But when you just sit down and draw something without worrying about it, you're able to come up with new ideas, learn some things, and get to see how much you've already learned.

I think it's good to stick with what you're comfortable with. I've always been a hands-on kind of artist. I could never get past drawing on the computer--even after buying a Cintiq--not to mention coloring on it, but have always tried since digital is the "thing". But I like shading and coloring on paper, so I've decided to start working that way, then finalizing in Photoshop.

I guess if there's a third thing, it's draw what you like. I browse the fantasy section of this site a lot, but don't have any of my art in that category, and that needs to change! :peace:
