The artistic proccess

  • Mood: learning

The artistic proccess, is different for each artist.  Even the most highly skilled artists still had a proccess that required time.  There is always research to do, which can take time depending on subject matter.  Then there are sketches and compission styles to work out.  And even the best get stumped from time to time.

The artistic proccess for me may be different then others.  First there is the research stage stage, which can take quite a while for me.  Since I have limited access to subject matters.  And only know the basics of searching the enternet.  THen comes the sketches and compission of the piece.  Since I have no formal trainning as a artist this can take a lot of trial and error to get the piece looking the way I envission it to be in my mind.  my hands don't always want to work the way my mind sees things.

So I tend to work on a piece for a while til I get stumped.  then I go to another piece and work on it for a while.  During which time this proccess tends to help me get unblock on a previous piece.  So I go back to that piece and work til I get stumped on it again or til I can finish it.  But this part of the proccess can go on for a long time some times.  It all depends on what the subject matter for the piece is.

As they always say that the artistic proccess cannot be rushed.  Even though I may not have any formal trainning as an artist I like to draw and have fun seeing just what I can draw.  no matter if it is a serrious subject matter or just something completely silly.  I have never drawn in a professional copacity before, ever.  Til as of late.  I am finding it to be a challenge,  but one that is worth the effort even though it has brought some strains on relationships and friendships.  I still would not trade the experience for anything in the world.  If offered the chance again in the future I would just go about it differently and have more say in what needs to be put into any contracts.

All in all though it is a growing proccess for me and I'm learning alot about what not to do next time I'm offered such a honorable oppurtunity.
