A silly little doodle I did based on a meme picture. Not overly happy with it, but I do need to get into the habit of sharing more stuff.

    You have to think about it more radically. For art to be “imperfect” there has to be a a “perfect” version of it out there. I’m just focusing on ourselves here, not anyone else.

    Everything is ultimately a comparison to life, an imperfect reflection can be either viewed as a flaw or a stylization. What is considered “in style” is as much conditioned in us, as it is chosen. Ask yourself what is your goal in art? If creating it gives you greater joy than the end result it might be fine to be disappointed. Unfortunately a lot of us are stuck with trying to fulfill profit motives it’s what’s been killing art, long before AI.

    It’s the reason why people scream in terror when all I really tell them is that we’ve got far more control over who we want to be and if we don’t exercise that, then someone else will decide for us.

      Yeah, it’s easy for me to forget because art is my job, so I rarely do art for fun anymore, and when I do I almost never share it, so while I’m good at finding the “good enough to show the client” I’m still struggling with the “good enough that I’m happy with it.” which is why sharing stuff is helpful, because if I want art that makes other people happy, then it has achieve what I wanted and is good art I can be proud of, even if it is imperfect.

        I’m really happy to hear you’re still looking for that spark in creating artwork. I can see you have a pretty good understanding of fundamentals being able to create this peace using quite simple shapes. I mean this in a complimentary way.
