Art is born from self expression. It's essentially an outlet used to make sense of your thoughts—especially when you're feeling just a tad neurotic. It's a form of storytelling. Of…
. . . The point is, you start off small in the amateur stage. And once you slowly begin to find our footing, you explore. Your creative scope begins to expand, ever so slowly—as does your sense of exploration. Different styles and mediums begin to influence your work. And then one day, when you least expect it, your creative medium slaps you across the face. It could be a love-at-first-sight type of slap. Your first time using soft-core colored pencils for instance and then, boom, instant adoration for the medium. Or it could be a relationship full of exasperation to start. Writing off, say, acrylics out of frustration, only to be drawn back to them later down the line. . .
. . . but unlike last year, this year my art development is climbing on my priority list. Hence why I've participated in Sketchtember, and currently partaking in Inktober, and will also hang in there until the bitter end of Huevember. My art has improved since the year prior, and for that I am insanely proud. Hard work most definitely pays off so long as you focus your energy on the things that you care about. Rather than posting from the first 3 days of #Inktober2019, I will share videos from my Inktober series on my YouTube channel . . .
