Description
Gawd! I lost it. I lost my drawing skills. I don't really like this piece because it really looks.. bleh.. You can tell how absolutely, artistically depressed I am? All done using the pen tool and round brushes.----
After looking at it more, this artwork really tells where I am inside. The darkness, depression and sadness and waiting to be in the light again.
Flowers = me
Black = my emptiness that's surrounding me
Red and the stems from the little flowers = my passion for art that seems to be missing from me waiting to be rejoined again
Main flower = lifeless and pale because of lack of inspiration and passion
Am I going to have the fullness of my passion again? When will that happen? I just have to keep trying.

This makes me feel bad. And that's just because you made it when you were sad and empty inside and I think it looks really, really good.
It makes me wish I could use the pen tool like this, really. I love this piece!

I think it's gorgeous. There is this hidden beauty that is present even in the midst of darkness. See you put tiny drops of light in there and even the smallest light can be the brightest. Art shouldn't be perfect because humans who create art are flawed. It's okay to be imperfect. There is still this beauty I can't put my finger on. Even the most beautiful flowers bloom in the darkest placed like lotus pods that bloom in muddy ponds. Light will find it's way, my dear.

You? Lose your drawing skills? *throws back head and laughs* You're a hoot, missus.
You, the oh-so-talented, offend the non-talented, moi for example, when you say something like that and then display a beautiful piece like that.

Well I was only talking about myself.. never meant to make others feel anything at all. I hadn't drawn for a while, and usually it's pretty easy but it was hard this time. So that's why I said it. Never meant to offend anyone at all. Next time i'll leave no comments. Thank you for commenting.

Hey, if the red's still there, it means the passion's still there somewhere, right?
I dig black-white-red color schemes in general, so I thought this was lovely.
Best wishes on tapping back into the vein of creativity. I can relate, albeit on different artistic fronts.

I actually like it a lot. It kinda has this depressing/bleak feel because of the black/white/red/blue colors but then it's got these flowers that look like their bursting into life with the lights and spirals. Interesting contrast, I think.

It has such a wonderful sad, ghostly kind of feeling

hun, to me it still looks pretty damn incredible. Sometimes creativity takes a vacation, but then it comes back twice as good. Just keep ploughing through the dry patch

yes clearly you are artistically depressed....*rolls eyes lots* that is actually AWESOME. what are you saying? it does not look bleh.

Thia you are such a perfectionnist that you always need not only better but the best because you are able to do it, you've got the skills to. That's why I probably haven't the ability to make "true" feedbacks about your work : from my point of view this artwork is gorgeous : the flowers are breath-taking, all the shapes gorgeous and I'm not yet taling about the colors and whole layout. Honey, don't feel depressed : you have done a stunning artwork. If you think that you can do better but don't feel creative right now , try a little break

It's really pretty! I love the colors you used, especially the red line against the black background. The whole image gives an almost retro yet futuristic feel to it. I don't think you've lost anything; your skills are improving from what I can see. But if you still feel something's a miss, you can always take a break to refresh your mind. It's what I do when I feel like I've fallen into a slump. Otherwise, great work! ^___^

it is absolutely beautiful, but you knew I would say that.
To everyone else it doesn't look like you've lost your artists soul, but it is important that you feel you have it back. god knows what you'll create when the time strikes.

This looks awesome! I know that feeling sometimes, but it prevents you from seeing the highs of this picture! The red set against the black is gorgeous and the flowers seem to be bursting from space full of fiberoptic light! Very nicely done peice
