Wandering Mind , Wandering Pencil, Or Whatever You Call The Damn Pen Thing On a Tablet
A good artist studies art books, with pictures of breathtaking works from across the history of drawing and painting. He will think about life and the world around him, and try to observe things in all their beauty, subtlety, and complexity. He must think about the deeper meanings of a work of art, try to pick apart the subtext hidden in a given subject, composition, and colour. Put simply, he must learn, and seek Truth. Then, and only then, can he sit down and produce something that looks, in terms of taste, like it came from the mind of an enthusiastic but only marginally talented twelve year old. But that's just the kind of dedicated guy I am.
I was going to have some proper colour and BG this time, but I just got NO feckin' time fer nothin'. Yeah, yeah, cry some more, why dontcha...
