with lots of hard work and dedication, I achieved just that.
its not easy being an artist though, you look at your art and if its not exactly the way you want it... it just won't do, but often times that's the case, it almost never comes out the way you saw it in your head.
So you accept that...
...but its not an easy task.
For a long time, I was dissatisfied with my art work, sometimes I still am, and its discouraging when you think your portrait, your landscape or your still life drawing doesn't look right.
I've left so many drawings undone, because of dissatisfaction, I'll say things like "its disproportionate" "the eyes are too small" "her head is too big" etc...
But...
it is fixable. I often ask "how? it looks so wrong, its not possible" buuuuut not true, its totally fixable, granted there are some that just went so wrong its really not, but that doesn't happen too often, its usually the frame that's wrong and you notice before going too far and its fairly easy to start over.
So, here are some drawings I've never finished.
basically I said, her eyes aren't big enough and her nose is too small.
Do I think its a bad drawing? No. I actually like this one, but I lost my inspiration when I didn't feel it was going quite right, and that's one of the hardest parts about being an artist.
this one her eyes were too small, and because I had already detailed them I felt it wasn't fixable.
I actually like this one too, I think its shaded well, If I do say so myself :)
So, this post really makes it sound like I don't like being an artist
I really do, I have a lot of drawings I'm super happy with, despite the fact they didn't turn out "perfect". I enjoy drawing portraits more than anything.
I've actually come to like the imperfections in my art, I feel like they are the parts that make my drawings unique to me.
I do plan to finish those portraits though, I'll post them as soon as I do :)
Thank you for reading, and I hope you have a nice day
