Art, mine!

Hey All

As an Art Student I get the chance to see many pieces of art.... Not the originals of course, but prints of. It gets me how a so called artist can draw 3 lines on a piece of torn paper and call it a masterpiece, yet Jane Doe from down the street can draw a stunningly accurate portrait of the local postman and it's worth nothing. Surely anyone can draw 3 lines.

As you can see from the pictures, I am no world class artist. I like to draw none the less. My drawings range from being minimalist to complex and rather detailed. The two in the pictures are what I'd call in between. Neither are greatly detailed. But neither are simplistic either.

I don't pretend to have skill. My so called talent is from practice only. The more I draw the better I get.  Art is a release of emotion. It provides the literal open canvas to express yourself in hundreds of different ways. Painting, charcoal, pencil, pastel. Any medium imaginable. I love to draw. Manga, Gothic style drawings, corsets, clothes in general.

Designing corsets has to be one of my favourite things to do. Such simplistic pieces of clothing with such possibility. The design freedom never ends.  I love designing clothes. Nothing can stop me when I am on a roll. Dresses, T-shirts, jeans, shorts, underwear. Everything. If I could, I would make every piece of clothing I have ever designed. Even if I hate the finished design. So I could see

what my imagination can produce. See the finished product. See what I can create.

More recently my doodles have been lyric based. Music has been running through my head and the particular lyric at the time will end up integrated into my current doodle. Sometimes the image turns out amazingly, other times I end up with text that is totally irrelevant to the drawing.

Anyway, that's all for today!
