Haha thanks. I don't think many people would fall for one of my forgerys
We were supposed to copy a piece of art for tafe which is why I did it.
It's not as rewarding, copying someone elses art work rather than creating your own.
It's a great learning experience but it's not really yours.
So I probably won't be doing it very often
I will copy photo's though becuase there is room for artists license

oh, right. it's quite close to the original,
I was serious that you should consider famous art forgery though. ;-P

~I know what you mean about how it isn't as satisfying.
I kind of feel the same about fan art. that's why I rarely do them ]:-\

yeh, Photo's are far more challenging than coping another artist's, and real life even more so.

Yeah, grids help a lot for getting a likness but they're not as fun as just doing it all free hand.
I don't mind doing fan art, most of what I put up on here seems to be fan art for some reason Probably because it's the only thing I end up finishing as half the work is already done so they're fairly quick to do and I can finish them before I get distracted
Real life is definitely the hardest. Not only because it can move and change but also because it is 3D and not flat. I would say you learn the most from real life though

I canna be tamed by 'em authourities an' grids.
Imma break away. foo'
haha~ sorry. I'm listening to hiphop.

yeh, I think doing fan art would build up your composition skills though,
where as real life is more technical.

Haha it's fine It is a bit restrictive so I think I will only use it for portraits.

It probably would build your compostion skills a bit, mine were always a bit lacking.
I really need to improve my technical skills too. Well to be honest I need to improve on evrything

Thanks very much! I always had a great deal of trouble getting things to look alike but I think that I'm starting to figure it out

Hehe. Grid stuff makes it easier, but I don't like it myself >_>; I end up rushing near the end xD

I'm the same. This is my first time using a grid but it kind of takes half the fun out of it I always rush towards the end too, it's a big problem for me.
