I have the most digusting migraine right now.. and i did this all with the use of my migraine.... i just want to throw up it's so bad..
and you wonder.. why? why chan did you do this picture if you feel so horrid? because i haven't done much in days. i've had low self opinion of my art , and have been in deep thought over a problem in my work. So i've been dealing with some things.. and i thought i'd do a lil drawing tonight to show i'm not dead yet... plus to dust off skills?
I have no idea what i'm saying.. oh well. sorry for the ramble.

Awwwwwwwww this is so beautifully (but sadly) interperative. What with the spine, heart, and that blob of red at the bottom. (Sorry, shouldn't have gone there, hah.)

sweet colors. the only thing bothering me is that white shape at the bottom. it draws my eye a bit too much away from all the nice things going on above it. interesting piece though

you know, i had a problem with the lil white shape too.. but he's grown on me.. it's strange how things in your pieces that don't belong can become charming to yourself. he's like an unwelcome guest that surprises you with odd humour that you never knew you liked.. or something.
on some odd random note, i should do more floating spines for the hell of it. ^_~

I think it shows a vulnerability that in it's way is quite beautiful. It looks like you put alot of effort into it and with a migraine aswell! I hope you feel better!

The thoughts in your brain are straining to get out, this negative self opinion is bottlenecking them on their way out. Just let them out, however you can now, once you've started you can't stop. The big problems will take care of themselves (corny but true alert).
Try taking valarian root before going to bed, helps get a good sleep and feel way better in the morning.
You're not the only one whos gonna ramble here

When I was ill once i had this headche that felt like it was my brain expanding and my skull was exploding. my ears were so sore I couldn't hear and when I could it hurt and my lungs had a minor case of plurasy going on. The pain got so much I drew it down with chalk pastels and it helped me releve my tension, reminded me i could draw (Beingthat the cold had froze everything artistic) and i don't know it gave me an image of what was up against.
This feels the same sort of thing, just a release of alot of stuff in one. I can see faces appearing and a lil skull in the spine ^-^ I liek it for it's simplistic and some what slightly distrubing imagry ^-^

*hugs chan real tight* I have been having a lot of trouble drawing lately aswell. i have been working up my motivation to challange myself and try drawing realism and im deathly afraid of the failure and discouragement it might bring. So good luck to us both...Just relax and remember what art means to you...and to all of your adoring fans <3

It's hard facing those fears of failure. I have alot of anxiety over it myself. I'm afraid that i'm going to fail with my art all the time. Technically, i did, recently.. i'm trying to fix that though. But it was a major blow to my self esteem, and i've bene slowly getting back up to fight again. It's tough. It's really really tough.
You should always challenge yourself with your art, and realism is the best way to do it too. Keeps you in practice and reconnects you with the world. I need to do some studies myself. Don't be discouraged if you don't get things right all teh time.. always think of it as steps to getting closer to the infinite answer in art.. and always keep reaching up and grabing for what you want in your art work. Never stop trying, despite the fear of failure.
Indeed though, good luck to us both. *hugs you back*

I just can't think of words that are worthy enough to describe this piece.
I think it's beautiful..
the colours and the white ;-; the swirls, and the random black lines <3
Oh gosh it's amazing!

ya know... despite the fact this is a disgusting picture, it's so... PRETTY! Well I didn't mean it was a disgusting picture, I meant the subject matter... ah hell. Diggin the hole deeper. Anyway... You rock. Continue with the gorey prettiness.

heh.. strange how it gives off that impression. I look at it now after the migrain has passed, and all i see is fluffy clouds... actually i don't know what i see out of it.

Flulffy red clouds, like a sunset, maybe?
You've got a promising career as an abstract artist, yanno. ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
heh.. wrong direction if i want to be a comic book artist. XD I dunno if teh abstract community would like me.. my painting class hated me when i was in there.. so i kinda doubt the rest of teh art community would like me.. plus all the explainations i have to do with abstracts.. just crazy!
though i wouldn't mind being an abstract artist, it's very relaxing.. though i enjoy combining abstractions with figures or something. Representational Abstration.. i think thats the closest label to my work.. i think. :/ *rambles*

Ever seen Utena? That's a good example of abstract surreal blending with anime - you could aim for that! 
Why would the painting class hate you, were you too good? O_o You gotta explain abstracts? @@ In science papers the abstract summarizes the entire boring experiment, how funny.
So could you call your art abstract representations? Comical abstracts? There's a whole opportunity for genre-creation there! XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Utena, love that show (it's been years)... that's not abstract though.. that was surealism. I think abstract is too much of a word for that show.. unless you want to go into the concepts as being abstract.. though i found all of it surealistic and methaphoric.
Oh they hated me with a passion, cut down my paintings for about an hour as i just sat there and took it. My teacher didn't like my stuff at all. I just didn't fit into the fine art world at all, and they were more then happy to let me know that.. i don't think i ever fully recovered from that experience.
Abstracts you do have to explain. It's an art movement that requires thought and purpose.. without it you're just a hack. All abstractions from the past have tons of explainations behind them, what they stood for, meaning, what was being abstracted.. etc. Today you still have to have justification behind why you do things abstractly, if you want to make it in the fine art world. Actually everything in teh fine art realm requires explaination, and thought out planning in order for it to succeed. In teh formal world it also seems that you need to have refference from teh past to justify your work (i.e. who inspired you to do this, who did you rip off.) Perhaps thats why i never fit in.. i couldn't do the "i used so and so's work for my picture and thesis!" You have no idea how brutail, and counter intuative the fine art world can really be... but there rules serve to seprate primative artists from the fine artists... Sounds cruel and elitist i know.. but it's really to show who's done their studing and who is teh hack.. oy..
What's killer is that I'm an illustrator.. and when i bring my illustrator abilities into my fine art it becomes something people in the fine art community spit, jeer and dislike intensely. I'm teh girl who doesn't belong in the party, the outsider. Who ever heard of a fine artist illustrator?
I could go on with this.. but i'll stop now. :_:

Ow *patpat* Sorry to bring up awful memories. 
Is it possible to make an abstract that people can get without explaining, or if you do that it's no longer abstract? *curious, am not art student* Would it still be considered fine art then?

Hey I think we've all been through thoughs moments. It will pass. The important thing is that you can keep working even through that. Its awesome when someone can put an actuall feeling into an image! Great work!

One word... "Ew"
The lil hearts at the bottom are the sickiest thing.
You've got teh skillz, Chan.
Times when you don't know what to draw happen to anyone, I guess.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I agree the hearts are the sickest thing. XD
It wasn't nessarily the problem that i didn't know what to draw, it was teh fact I didn't want to draw due to a failure on my part. It put me in a deep depression, and i just couldn't go further. But I think i'm back.
