Description So here is the first of many processes of how I work. I will try and remind myself to do it with each piece but sometimes I tend to forget. It's kind of late so I will post the finished piece tomorrow night. Hope this helps at least one of ya on how NOT to do things

I love this progress "diary"! This is exactly how I think they should be; the self critisism, the train of thought and the "Nah, didn't like that". Bravo!

Thank you. I figured I'd demystify anything about my creative process and show that not all artist "hit it" in one try. i fail many many times

I think many artists don't hit it off straight away very often. And according to what I've noticed; it's those who try and try again that produces the best results. So I like it when it has that human approach and the fight with the image in the head vs. what you make in reality.

I use the neato tablets since I'm not a famous artist with lotsa cash I had to buy a cheap knock off wacom, called an Addesso. 9x12 for 160.00...not bad. Will I be seeing you at the Agora March 22nd?

This was very entertaining as well as enlightening. You make it seem so effortless!

ShawnCoss In reply to bleddryheart [2008-03-03 20:29:17 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, but believe me, it's far from effortless. I am always at a constant war with myself on my artwork. Friends always tell me that it looks fine the way it is, but unless I can connect with it on some level, it's shit lol.

bleddryheart In reply to ShawnCoss [2008-03-03 20:35:33 +0000 UTC]

Well, yes, that does make sense. It's too bad that you're at constant war, but I suppose if you weren't, you wouldn't be so driven to make it acceptable by your standards, and therefore the end result more enjoyable by all.

I dunno it kinda showed me some ways I could take my shitty drawings and stuff and make them better, it was actually kinda inspiring to me, I might just start doing some doodles and such again.
