Ive always followed some pretentious rules when it comes to making art just because I’m such a proud person but I’ve realized how much that really limits me, I need to return to the lawlessness of pre-education creation… so here’s a drawing on top of a picture, a borderline tracing, which I would never post out of pride normally. I still have to grapple with the outdated idea that the ability to draw an accurate physical representation of something is the height of craft and ability. I take pride in the fact I draw my own figures, even if it takes forever. This is silly. There is no reason to be proud of doing something for external merit at the expense of the actually interesting aspects of my brain, the parts that work without guidance… I thought if I were to do something like this, something that has a base and isn’t purely from my minds eye, I was a fraud. How pretentious!!! Everything had a base, nothing in your minds eye is anything but a collage of what you’ve seen before. Ugh I forgot what my point was
