Description Black Widow. This one took a whole lot longer. I never use references for my art 95% of the time and this one i had to give up and use references for the hand as it was taking too long to finish. Requested by

I know right?!!!
Well I was wondering if I was the only one?! But, It's nice to know that others that are as talented as you have the same problem. Makes me feel like not giving up! I started drawing/ painting this past August. For someone who is 40. I feel like I got a lot of catching up to do. It's nice to get comments from other people other than my friends or family or loving wife. I really couldn't get a reaction. So for someone who who had like 1 art class in 11th grade (for when the art teacher never showed up but drunk.). Haha. I am learning a lot from artist such as yourself. Thanks for sharing your art. God bless.

I personally think it is never too late to learn art... it is not like riding a bike or playing video games where age does indeed affect our reflexes. im 36 this year and its cool to hear that you started drawing just last year! what made you start if i may ask?

believe you me, even if i havent had any professional background in art or schooling, ive been dabbling in it as a hobby eversince i was a kid and there is always something new to learn and there IS A LOT i struggle with when i draw!

Thanks for the comment. Music has been my career.
I would doodle. But never draw anything. I was sick in the hospital and recovering from a hernia surgery. So for a week I couldn't do anything. Then this year my wife miscarried. We tried ten years to have children. I had almost lost her on the operating table. She made it. However, I kind of needed something to get me out of this funk. Not to mention high blood pressure. So the doctor prescribed the best medicine I had ever been given. Get a Hobby. So I started drawing. Now, I love the old Sci fi, westerns, tv cartoons of the 1950s-1980s. Flash Gordon, batman, Lone Ranger, zorro, etc. I thought I can draw that. Well, then I had friends tell me what I was doing was pretty good. I thought really? Well, I wanted to see if it was good or people were just being nice. So that's why I put my stuff on deviantart. That and I don't know any artist that are friends. So, I thought I could make some here. They could show me a thing or two. I know I like simple. I'm not complicated. Right now, I'm into the basics...body forms, perspectives, shading, light and shadow, etc. great talking with you! Have a great week!

It looks great. I used to never use references...then I went to heavily using references which made me unhappy. Now I'm in between.

It shouldnt bro... using references can actually make one's artwork better. I know this piece could be at the very least 25% better and 100% faster to finish if i used references. I juz want to be able to do my art by juz imagination alone and there are times that i have to give in.
