first post ever on this blog
this is just me documenting my skills in art, more specifically realism. maybe other miscellaneous things too idk this is just a diary for myself, intended for myself to see only but if anyone else comes across this, welcome
for anyone other than myself (and maybe some friends), i'll introduce myself. i go by tags online and use she/her pronouns. i am a little on the older side (19 yo), studying design in uni. because im not a minor, you might see some nsfw things. i have a close friend who might come on here, might not, (is also into art and studies design) and a bf...... i live a really boring life..... i also really like genshin impact haha (im AR60 fyi),,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, what can i say, i just like to explore the open world 6:
i dont really want to associate myself with my other art accounts and whatnot right now, maybe i will in the future, but i want to treat this sorta like a clean slate
don't get me wrong, i can draw and i like to do art as a hobby but i know im not exactly that great. there are so many things i can improve on (colour and values, overall proportions, perspective, compositions, dynamics, etc)
here are some of my previous artworks:
hm maybe i should make subpages of my art lol
like a lot of recent artists, i started doing art because of anime and yeah, it really does stunt your abilities when you don't learn the basics of human anatomy lol. i mean i was young and with no proper education in art, realism was boring so,,,
but now i think realism is good art. that being said, i dont want to make photorealistic art - that is still boring imo. i want art that moves people, like 'Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan'.
the way Ilya Repin, the artist, captures his emotions on his face. i wanna be able to use chiaroscuro and stuff in my art etc
maybe ill analyse art sometimes on here, i think studying art is fun. tbh what inspired me to start this was a bunch of art analysis essay videos on youtube lol. here they are if you;re interested
i dont really care about making my tumblr page look all nice and all right now, i just wanna get good at art. i know my output will be pretty inconsistent, so dont follow this blog expecting something frequent
idk how ill end my posts, i want something iconic lol
i think ill just end off my posts like
ill be able to make some iconic one liner with my user one day
