Just pulled it up. I'll let you know what I think!

@shiggins180 Love this. Its pretty much me, but I've got an audio book plugged in.

It was a good episode. Lots to think about. I was a little convicted by the idea of asking for feedback, but not giving it out. I struggle with that. I feel like I’m asking for a critique because I have no idea what I’m doing... which makes me feel under qualified to give out critiques. I try to anyway, but it’s uncomfortable. And, I feel like anyone hearing my critique of their work could just go look at mine and then dismiss what I have to say based on what I’m not doing well. It’s tricky. And I guess learning how to be humble and diplomatic about it is a big part of it.
What I particularly like is when people point out specifics to me. “ there’s a tangent” or “here’s an anatomical issue” or “your perspective is off a bit here.” When I show people something and they start talking about it in vague terms, I feel just as lost as ever. Or more so. I guess I need to work on doing the same. And, I’m definitely guilty of asking for a “critique” on a finished piece when all I really want is validation.

@whitney-simms I need that T-shirt too.

@nasvikdraws I get where you’re at. I’ve got 5 kids ages 5 to 12. And I’m the bookkeeper for my husband’s 2 businesses. I just decided a couple years ago that I would grow my craft even if all I could do was 5 minutes a day. I got much more consistent and started to see some progress when I let myself be ok with inconsistent work and ugly sketchbooks. It was freeing up that mental space that helped more than anything. Though I still struggle a lot with insecurities about my work.

Feeling kind of ehhhhh about my illustrations lately. Pencil sketches are fun for me and relaxing most of the time. Illustration is hard. Trying to keep my chin up but getting really discouraged. I know it’s that artist brain. We probably all feel it. Anyway, here’s a recent sketch.

Good Job everyone!

@art-of-b This is fantastic. I love the composition and the contrast. Its a really beautiful piece.

One of the many nights my sister and I spent hidden away in blanket forts reading fairy tales by flashlight. (Watercolor and Colored pencil on Arches 300lb cold press)
I tried to keep it simple since painting glowy light is very new to me, but might revisit this again after I watch some more classes and feel like I can add all the things I wanted to.
