Like a red dream!
Impressive!
One of the best art-gallery i've seen on this site!
You can also take a look to the art-gallery of Claudia sutton. I like her profile a lot a her drawings sometimes look like to yours.
Compliments again!

fuck them useless dogmas.

i will, and everyone should, use whatever benefits the picture. if someone has a reason for not using pure black that is related to the impact of the kind of picture he has in mind, fine. otherwise, its shoving empty bullshit arguments in peoples face, and that is not only distinctly unenlightened (the empty bullshit part) but also very impolite (the other people part).

Ummm. What's the issue with pure black? U got some problems with academics or impressionists? I got one at work, directly from art school. Whenever he says "You don't use black, impressionists didn't use black" or white or whaterver, I feel like smaching his face. Use anything that makes U feel good and makes the pic look good. Impressionists are all dead.

Yeah totally, I'm always poking fun at people when they avoid using certain colors or certain tools "nyahhhh don't use smudge tool that's cheating!"...like...what? They're all idiots.

With smudge tool it's a different story. Just like with smudging the charcoal or pencil on paper. I tell sometimes to interns not to do that, cause tey don't know how to use them and instead of intended effect it looks like it's dirty. But once again- it' not the matter of tool but of skill in using it and the final effect. :)

hahaa, this! so very much this!

its really aggravating when people swing around these huge dogmas of how things ought to be done and how not. there really is only one dogma: all that matters is the final artwork. everything else is completely irrelevant: the artists life story, his/her manifesto of what is symbolised in the picture, the tools used to create it, the dogmas followed in the creation process, the artists beliefs of any kind, how much/if any reference was used, if life models were involved, etc, etc, etc.

people will look at the picture. they will see what is visible in the picture. the picture does the job the artist intended (win!) or it doesnt (fail). end of story. not having used a color or any random thing else doesnt improve any win or lessens any fail. it just. does. not. matter.

Especially that most people (even those initiated) completly don't give a shit about the theory behind the picture. If I need a theory and a backstory to appreciate the picture_ I don't give a f**k about it. But if the picture is so fascinating and interesting itself that it intrigues me that much I want to get to know the backstory- that is a total win for the author.

yes, absolutely.
if the backstory or theory is so important, why dont they write an essay for crying out loud, instead of trying to shoehorn nonvisual stuff into a visual medium? it boggles the mind!

many thanks for the two faves, too, man! :)
