compliments for art’s sake

One thing that I have a healthy respect for is the world of art. I’m not talking about actually understanding the meaning behind some of the pieces that have been created, although given enough time I can give you something more meaningful than the faux-classic “x, yet y” line that you always hear regarding the subjects of art and wine: “Bold, yet understated.”

I’m talking about just having the talent to draw the subjects in the first place. Whether it be a masterpiece or a comic strip, still life or portraits, city skylines or rustic scenes, it’s all amazing to me. Of course, I couldn’t draw my way out of a paper bag; maybe that has something to do with it.

    You’re probably stuck in pre-adolescent or adolescent drawing. Most people are because art is neglected in schooling. It’s like anything else. You just have to practice, practice, practice, mess-up, learn from your mistake, and practice some more.
