most recent painting in my sketchbook
Dude, once again... this is awesome. I was just going through this old post looking for something else, but I stumbled upon your work again. Glad I did. You should share more of your work here, it's really good.
Haha thanks! I was quite surprised to see a reply on such a old post. I have more work posted online if you are interested, but that was probably the best sketch. I haven't done anymore sketches lately since being back in school.
Wow. Seriously zomberry, you've got some real talent. I enjoy these two in particular: Sirens 2008 and Depressed 2008 I noticed that you don't have anything posted in 2013. Please don't tell me you are no longer creating art? I'm a fan, please feel free to shout-out to me if you post any more of your work here. Really, really great stuff.
That is a shame, you've got a real talent. Good luck with the architecture. Working on anything interesting?
Well, it's an awesome hobby. Art as a profession is tough. Many many people do it successfully, but it's not high on the list from a stability and income perspective in general. I really respect artists who have chosen to devote themselves to it as a career. I consider it a self sacrificial step in many ways and instances. You have to be really passionate and brave. This is mostly for the fine arts. There's a lot of commercial opportunities for artists, but most fine artists don't like designing mud splashes on the new Jeep Wrangler in whatever program they are using now for Chrysler's next Superbowl commercial.
If my family is rich enough I would devote my life to art. As of right now I am way too poor to support myself through art. Also I'm not that into the art trend in USA. If I were to become an artist, I would probably move to Europe permanently. The whole point of being an artist is to be true to yourself and self-expression. If I were to do commercials for money, then I might as well do something else that makes money, like engineering or banking.
This is wonderful. Is this someone that you know? Did you paint her from memory or in person? There's a lot going on in that glance. Nice work.
