So glad I found your page! Can’t wait to see more from you.
Great advice!
Thanks for providing great advice, thoughts and encouragement, really enjoying your videos.
"Good" is such a vague term. As a fine artist who switched from wanting to be an animator I realized I didn't want to work in that sweat shop environment and that I didn't like being told my drawing skill level wasn't "good" enough. As fine artists we are free to create as we see fit and put our work out to be FOUND by our audience. Our audience is the people who resonates with our work, it has nothing to do with good or bad because what others may love or act like they love because someone else said they like it doesn't mean you will like it. I respect Basquiat and Picasso, I don't necessarily like their paintings. I respect Picasso because he broke the "rules" and painted what he wanted to paint, not what the so called art world or his father thought he should paint and became the most famous artist of all time. He didn't paint to seek approval, he painted because he had to for himself and found his audience in the process.
As far as commercial art goes that's a touchy subject in my opinion because the wrong criticism can literally crush the confidence of a fragile ego or an insecure person. It happened to me. I had an audition for The Simpsons and American Dad and failed and threw away all my sketchbooks and said I'd never draw again. Thankfully I didn't stop drawing but I learned that the environment of working for others under their rules and critiques was not for me. NEVER forget that negative criticism of Hitler's paintings (yes, he was an artist for those who didn't know) was a contributing factor to the anger that drove him into being who he was so be careful not to care too much about criticism from others about your work. Keep on painting..😎
Wow! Great insight. Thanks very much for sharing that with me, great perspective.
