i'm basically forcing myself to churn out some drawings. nothing really sparks my brain to motivate/inspire me to draw. but...theres one thing that pushes me...self-discipline. its like..."You have to draw today. Just draw something! biatch!"...then i sit my ass on my comfy armchair, picked up my pencils...and just draw!
maybe that can be my motto. JUST DRAW!
the result is more than satisfying for me.
this is the War Song. it's not a song, more like a poem maybe. it started out as me doodling myself. then i wana point a big third finger. then, got inspired to use this pose to express my thoughts and feelings about war. i won't get to do this piece if i didn't move my pencil.
then i tried to force myself to draw again the next day. this time, i only have one objective- free my mind. no specific topic to draw...then i just let my pencil run freely...i'm playing with my lines...and realised i'm generating something organic...so i started to complete it by drawing a creature out of it. (I started from the head of this creature.) named it FYMA, derived from "free your mind art". well, this creature is strangely beautiful to me. haha! (used PSCS2's filter)
the next day after i did FYMA, i forced myself to draw again. i'm not interested to copy any reference material...cos its not very fun. therefore, i jus told myself...draw something "lovely".
during the drawing process, i'm trying to have fun with lines...attempts to interact with the lines while i draw....kk, getting abstract already.
lesson learnt: free your mind and just draw. it's just magic for me. haha!
lastly, i took part in THINKOUT! a drawing event held by the Artheletes gang.
the topic is "Penguin's solution to flight."
the idea is not unique...but i'm glad that i took part in the event. i guess i failed to explore the topic enuff...and just go ahead to render this piece. my bad...
creative ideas propels artist to generate art works.
it also means that...generating art works propels creative ideas.
u noe wat i'm trying to say?
just draw, baby :)
