Was listening to music, and figured I would share a YouTube artist who I legit think is making amazing “art music” if that makes sense, cause he combines clips from movies to make his music, which I believe requires a lot of patience, right timing, and passion to create it into music, so I think that makes it art, my favorite song of his:


Another avenue I’ve seen is how music can be put to animation, most people know this, but look at these independent creators, seeing some of these makes me want to create a similar animation, since I like creating characters:


But yeah, I keep putting off my creative things I said I wanted to do, lol I fail, but I’m hoping with my time off, that I can actually take the time to tackle my creative ideas and draw them out digitally.

I found the music artist I posted about earlier, Pogo, he has a video of a live stream he did, it’s an amazing way to see him create his art:

That’s alright, I know sometimes I erase so much, you can still see the “work lines” on my drawing, since I struggle with drawing lightly, lol. We all mess up

But yeah your stuff looks cool, do you free draw or use a reference? I usually do a combination of both as seen in my posts in this thread, lol. I think using a reference helps, to where it should hopefully make the free drawing drawings look better, I know it has helped to improve my drawing, just trying to figure out what my style is, I think it’s drawing in a cute style, but then that means most of my free draw stuff can’t look “stern” or “serious” if I want it to, which blows but hey, maybe I need to draw more “stern looking” references as drawings.

Yeah I have the same issue I always press down to hard a habbit I can't seem to get rid of, most of the time I just do free style the first two dragons though are based off of charizard Y the third I made myself my style is usually anime I can make anime pretty easily but I also can draw Realistic skulls with shading and sometimes I draw realistic animals I was actually sitting out on my front porch once and saw a bird but knew it would fly away fast if I didn't draw it fast so I did a quick sketch and was actually surprised how good it was I had never done that before

I like to draw cute style too though

oh, that is amazing. I always enjoy seeing your photos.
Wow... Microphotography are so on point these days. Wonderful capture it's like looking into a microscope 👍🏼
thanks!

here is a similar bee from the same yard; don't worry, God made enough to pollinate the flowers and also to provide for the spiders. i like pictures that are a little blurry; it's on purpose. because our lives for now are often a little blurry too -- 'as through a glass, darkly' -- like the photos, our focus is usually only able to see a few things clearly at once. once in a while, we are able to put many things together and *almost* completely perceive a scene.

I enjoy your "blurry" pics. It causes me to take notice of all the tiny little details in things (such as the bees) that I would never notice up close in person while shooing them away.

It is a God-given talent, not everyone can do it, I appreciate talent as God is the source of it, I believe it is an inspiration and motivation all the more to a christian community which encourages us to inspire others especially the young ones to be creative in forms of crafts, arts and sports not vices and other kind of stimulants.
You are an artist and I love your work! 👏🏼
Hi thanks for saying this..I have always been creative from a child making models from bits and pieces...never stopped...Yes definatley can be a positive influence to inspire others to excel in whatever abilities they have..Always appreciate your comments..👍

I am considering making some halloween themed pictures I am especially good at skulls but there are different styles I can make them one of them is actually really fun to draw but it is kind of demonic looking the other one I can draw is just a normal shaded skull and another I have fun with is actually one I used neon paint to make.
I drew this cartoon skull and used neon pain to color it in my sister has a black light in her room where everyone hangs out for halloween and has glow in the dark pictures the skull I made just pops out in the black light

sadly the only good paint is expensive as well as brushes and the canvas I mean I only get 30 dollars a week for myself sadly I don't think I could afford it I am sure blasck lights are not expensive though
