So i showed all my artwork to my art teacher to see if any of the pieces i should submit to the art show. Turns out A. I can't use 95% of my pieces since they are celebrities and copyright and such B. The portraits of family aren't considered "finished" C. I only had two good drawings out of god knows how many.
Which leads me to the conclusion... no more celebrity drawings. I think i really have to switch my focus around and draw more family and friends. And add start doing backgrounds to make the pieces finished. So i'm switching my entire style. Im still going to do drawing but i'm going to try and do more with other medias possibly.
I just want to actually put MEANING into my drawings. Maybe try and stray from references a bit. Just portray emotions feelings thoughts... things i believe i've failed at in the past by simply just stopping at a face. I'm going to try and draw my won photos form now on as well.
But fro now... kinda in an art slump. Since realizing all this was a major blow to my esteem as an artist... so right now i'm not drawing anything new. Just touching up some old pieces. So i'll be a bit inactive when it comes to posting artwork for awhile.
Thanks for listening.
