Description
After having so much fun with the last piece, I decided to try a series of em. I have an idea, but won't let it out until I'm sure it will workThis piece is focused on the ability to open up. Being vulnerable to the outside without fear or worry. My creative juices have been flowing since that week of downtime and in a way my mind has opened a little more for me to see inside and to let you see a little deeper.
Only in this state of vulnerability can I truly be free, and without limitation on what I do or how I go about doing it.

I especially like how you have the arms, or fists (you know) in the background - they seem to possess strength. In the context of the work, I guess that means there is a certain unnoticed strength in vulnerability. That's awesome.

...one can only create a memorable and true work of art by letting go of fear and letting the heart lead the way...

You really did display the emotion of vulnerability and weakness very well with the pose kinda thing of the uhhh (I'm at a loss as to what to call those things) creature I guess and the color scheme and such. Great job just like always.

Well, maybe in english the meaning is diferent, your drawing style is really strong, but that "man" looks weak and confused to me, and I like that.
In spanish we could call pathetic at Bacon or Bosco paintings.
I tried to create a pathetic figure on that image [link]
I hope that you agree that

Ah ok lol. I wasn't sure if it was a negative comment or just a language barrier. Thank you

In English, "pathetic" is a negative word...
Lo siento por interponer. ΒΏQuΓ© es la palabra en espaΓ±ol? QuizΓ‘ podrΓ© buscar una mejora.

The word is "patΓ©tico" and it's something that can create feelings of pain, sadness or melancholy.
I search that on the dictionary

Oh... You mean "moving," like it stirs emotions. Touching, moving, provoking, inspiring -- well, these are better alternatives, but they are not the same as patΓ©tico... One thing you could say is "this artwork has a lot of pathos". I think English has kind of an emotionless vocabulary. While you're right that it stirs sad emotions (mostly pity), it's better not to say "pathetic" because people don't usually use it in a compliment. I hope that helped ^^

Yeah and I only know english because I don't think I'm smart enough or capable of learning another language, though Japanese was always one I'd love to learn.

Japanese is tough! And, well, anybody can learn a language, it's just easiest when you're a kid... Kids are like sponges. o.o
