Learn From It

I love painting and doing art, it’s the whole reason I started this blog. But, like everything in life, art is a journey; I’m still trying to learn how to get the best outcome of the materials I use. My overall goal for my art is go achieve a realistic painting.

I think I’m on my way to getting to where I want to be but I’ll take a lot of time and practice. A tip I have for those who would like to get where they’re going (may it be realistic or comic book style of art or whatever) is this: look at art!

My Basic Drawing teacher told my class that spending time – hours even – just simply looking at art helps you with your own; especially looking at your own work. I’ve always felt like I would seem conceited if I looked at my own work but my teacher is right. If you look at your own work then you can see how you can improve and there’s always room for improvement, right?
