Artistic Over-Analyzation (Yay Me)

Journal Entry: Fri Apr 27, 2007, 7:36 PM
My general thesis:

Some forms of artistic expression are eschewed by the majority of the fine-art community, such as pure kitsch and blatant pornography; however, I view these things as I do any other expression of the human experience, and have grown somewhat jaded and weary towards the elitist and pretentious forms of so-called higher arts. I believe it's my artistic calling to blend all levels of art into one, encouraging and savoring all reactions from disgust to admiration from my audience.

My strengths: Human anatomy, expression, emotion -- character art, basically. Anthropomorphization. Pencilling. Psychological depth, meaning. Kitsch. Fetish.

My weaknesses: Dramatic perspective, scenery, inanimate objects, paints / inks. Comprehending boundaries to artistic decency / tastefulness.

My styles: Comic, realism, fetish, furry, manga, Western cartoon.

My subject matter: Characters, fetish, furries, emotive works.

:nod: I've used the Copics on bristol before and also a mexican paper called opalina :)

Yeah for publishers its best to stick with one medium unless you're an illustrator that does full sequential pages from pencil to colour lol.

I think just about any marker paper will work --

"Always use good paper with a smooth and tight surface. Art stores sell "Marker" tablets. We also sell these tablets. They make colors appear brighter and use less ink in the process. A rough paper will not only absorb too much ink but may also bleed along the edge of the line." [link]

Though I got a Copic sketchbook, I'm also counting on them working with smooth Bristol board. However, both DC and a couple small publishers want to see me focus on pencils -- the Copics will be mainly dedicated towards independent commissions.

Now I just need to figure out what I want to really get known for drawing so that I can launch myself into it hard.

I really overanalyze everything, ne? :D

:dance: Yay!

Awww cool I jsut bought the markers lol.... I shoulda bought the paper >_<

Piccy clicky: [link]

I bought a book with my Copics, and got another free (which was a surprise!) so I can pass on a few snippets from there:

* If you slightly dampen your paper with rubbing alcohol beforehand, the color will be extra smooth.
* The brush strokes are typically meant to be even, at a confident (not too fast or to slow) speed.
* You start with light colors, let them dry, and add darker shades; the dye is cumulative, too, so the same pen over dry ink will give you a darker shade of the same color.

They also had sketch books of Copic and similar papers, so I got the markers, books, a largish sketch book, and a clip-on style airbrush system. My boy and I are really excited. :D

Which gallery? I wanna see :D LOL so far nobody has sent me links to the sketches I did (there's a kickass BloodRayne floating around that I wanted a copy of lol).

Woot... I own Copics and have NO idea how to use them ^^; but that's a really good idea! You know there is special paper for the copics right?

You're very welcome :D

Thank YOU for the Emerald City art! I recently figured out how to upload it into my gallery without it showing up in my "Latest Art" section (thereby making it seem like MY work -- which I did NOT want!)

I got a small set of Copics at Sakuracon, so I'm gonna make copies and practice on it. :D

Thanks again! *bounce!*
