well, today I've been think'N bout shading skin .. I dont want such a realistic lOOk but I'm wondering if I'm missing something .. I have know idea how to shade .. I can't seem to find anything online that makes any sense to me anyways .. maybe an art bOOk would be helpful?? hell idk .. I feel like I'm totally stuck and have gotten to a point where I am no longer growing in my paintings .. tho doing some pro bono commissions has helped me grow as an artist .. What can I change? I'm think'N .. And my natural instinct is to ask you, what would you like to see? But then I remember a good artist doesn't draw for the other artists .. we draw for ourself's .. I am coming to you all for some advise though .. and yes, I'd like to know where would you like to see my art go? what would you do with one of my pieces? I feel sO stuck .. I had another artist tell me to draw other things like little monsters N stuff, which I plan on doing I just haven't been inspired to do so .. I dont know what other artists do but for me, I get this spark that comes from deep within and starts to rise from the inside out to the tips of my fingers and then the magick begins .. If I dont get that spark to paint or draw then I don't .. i dosnt flow threw me and out my fingers, you can't force art .. you have to let it flow threw you and then out and onto the paper .. and go and be open to where it takes you .. Kinda like reading a bOOk .. you can go anywhere if you find your nose deep inside a book into a magickal place .. Well, that's what art is like except I am the creator of the story .. every line and pencil mark and every brush mark has a movement that I can remember sO next time I know how to move to make that mark .. Ahhh now I'm just rambling .. The things that goes on inside my mind .. The magickal place inside my head is only on the tip of my nose and I'm lOOking at is cross eyed .. One step at a time .. and I will learn to focus on the main picture ..
