This is crass but is it Art?

You are so right Rhino.



[Abstract art is] a product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.

Mc, I LOVE it. It's... well, I don't know... I'm speechless. I have tears in my eyes... it speaks volumes... just a jumble of lines and so evocative... oh my God! no words... I should go before I embarrass myself...

 

[ABSTRUSE]

I have finally decided to be brave and post something besides comments here. I mean, I've been reading this thread for months and never once have I contributed any of my artwork!

Well, no more. Here is my first contribution. I like to call it "Self Portrait."

OMG!!!!! such line, such form.....you must be classically trained. I am awestruck, you should make that your AV.

i like the way...many of my drawings from life are less "accurate" (anotomically) than many from my imagination...the ones from life are OFTEn done quickly and in ink....so the first IMPRESSIOn goes down and stays down..there is more of an "interpretation"...generally i draw quickly with poses from 1 minute to 20.


where as the imagination ones..are sometimes "fussed" over a bit....in pencil (sometimes..as with the table and window series)...still smewhat quick...but adjusted to a degree.

i still take liberties with the figures....in order to Expose various elements... to show more than what one might actually see.


rhino-looking at my own posts and pondering

I understand where you're coming from...I'm starting to get back to my old bad habits and getting too fussy.

Ling, do you really think I would abandon the only thread that I have some "real" knowledge about? LoL.

Mckenna - nice AV, would you have a pic similar to rhino's drawing per chance?

Can't wait to get to a scanner and get some new stuff up here......women with big swords, mages, and some other stuff,,,,hehe.

Hey Ling,,,remember that question you asked a few pages ago?? Maybe I can answer that for you.

I'm sure finding one wouldn't be a problem.

However, I meant the picture of the woman over the table, from behind, from above.

Hmm,,,,,maybe I just need a model for some of the ideas I have.

Unfortunately, unlike most artists who have a model, all my work is from my imagination.
