Trying to get a bit more artistic again with my work. Feel I was striving for too much realism which is not what I want to be. Realism is something I always wanted to try, some people do it easily but it is not easy for me and I am starting to feel it hinders my creativity a bit by trying to be so realistic.
I enjoy drawing portraits but the need for realism is ruining the fun somewhat. I just need to drop the need for total realism and be more impressionistic for instance my Darth Vader drawing was done almost entirely with me using very small circles and it was great fun to do and realism was not my goal – I need to go back to my roots however i still have some requests to fulfill for realist looking drawings.
