This person makes me so ashamed...she's got talent spilling out of every pore...am I even worthy of the name artist? Joy Ang, check her out. Her style is quite diverse, and her themes are wonderfully thought out.
Also I've found a Tom Bagshaw, does great commercial graphic work. His main subject: women. Beautiful sexy, sultry women with a bit of weird and creepy thrown in. I don't mean to be forward, but somewhat reminds me of my stuff.
I think I've realized something about my work. It's very dry and boring. My teachers were right about my work. Most of my subject matter are women and they were all negatively critiqued. I think my most successful pieces are ones of animals. Although some of you will not agree with me, I am beginning to realize my lack of depth with human subjects. How mundane is a sexy woman graphically drawn to induce lust! There are so many of them everywhere. They've lost the original appeal.
I must find a new place to start.
How about drawing non-sexy women? Or women with such obvious flaws, yet, with the same lust, if not more, than the ones you usually draw?
ReplyDeleteGive your characters personality through physical traits, and exaggerate them; keeping an element of realism.
Just a thought.
Manoj is this you?
