Hello to all my visitors. I'm going through a creative change. A dark night of the soul. Its time for a fresh start. I've started a new YouTube channel, Drawn From Life. And this blog is a place for me to, oh, I don't know, babble on about the utter nonsense that is my life; creativity; new ideas and old ideas wanting to be resurrected. All previous posts have been retired. I may reread them and see if any should be republished but there's no rush. I'm still trying to figure things out. Is that all vague enough?
Starting with my new channel, Drawn from Life, I have a new video about the drawing of the Fool as in the Tarot. I'm not a tarot reader. I dabble. I read for myself. I'm rarely right. But it's a way to focus. I need to focus. I'm easily distracted, like the crow seeing the shiny objects. I must have it.
The thing about my new channel is that there are no reference photos used. Its about original drawing. No tracing, no measuring, no graphing. It's all about just being there and letting my hand do it's thing while my mind watches. I'm working on defining my drawing style which I really have when I'm not.
Oh, heres the first image and the second since I chose to color the picture but without letting anyone watch. It is so much easier to draw withoiut an audience and sometimes I do that but, I want to share so I record. Please ignore all of my punctuation mistakes. Thank you.
Better with the color, right?
The Fool is representative of me right now setting out on a new artistic road. New blog, new channel, new drawing direction. I don't know what I'm doing or where I'm going or where I'll wind up but that's the fun; that's the journey.
Thousands of people have visited this blog while I was sharing art but rarely did anyone ever comment and no one ever follows. Just as well. You could follow me off a creative cliff like the lemmings. Do any of you suspect that I'm older than dirt and I'm still trying to find my artist's way?
