Description Why do I paint the best when I feel the worst? Anyway, instead of spewing emo all over this description, I'll just give you the stats.

Same here. My best work always arrives when I'm feeling my worst. I think it's because our emotions are so raw that we're able to transport them to canvas, and the result is real and not forced.

, I guess. All I know is that when I feel bad, art makes it better.

Thank you! Sometimes I like to do realistic studies, but sometimes emotion is more important.

You have a great gallery, by the way.

It's a fact that some artist do better art depending on their moods. But sorry to hear you're sad.

Art is weird like that.
Don't worry about it lol. I'll be fine.

Oh wow, those eyes are so striking. The left hand still looks a bit sketchy, but the quality of the face makes up for it a million times over.

SkarValidus In reply to RaiinbowZebra [2011-06-21 20:05:09 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! I overindulged a bit on the eyes... I could spend some time on the hands, but I decided that it wasn't really worth the time, since the focus is really on the face. You can see that I left the hair pretty sketchy as well.

That's true. The hair looks really nice, by the way. It's gorgeous c:

I know! Been thinking about drawing it too for a while, but I have just too much ideas, reference photo's and WIP's lying around that need to be done first, haha! You're very welcome!

I wouldn't call it 'activity', per se. But I know comments like this one are really helpful, so it felt like my duty.

So far its looking good, anything in particular? Like is this girl from a movie, or just your own thing?

Hmm, I thought I already replied to this one...
I felt like painting a sad person, but I wanted it to actually look good, so I decided to use a reference, which is a stock photo from here on dA. The shading and lines are heavily referenced.

Well there nothing wrong with using reference haha, its looks amazing already, as I said already lol
