awesome work. the personal pieces are the best. reminds me of pointilism. and the nightmare piece has a neckface vibe to it.

and i don't believe that an artist can own another artist. Myseone and Sexual Mustard are obviously doing 2 totally different things.

Thanks I'll post some more art.

did you guys draw this on the computer? if so which program im an artist myself

I used a pencil for the self portrait, the matsuzi and the fantasy piece...the anatomy charts were done in pencil then scanned into the computer where I used adobe illustrator and photoshop. What type of art do you do?

Myseone, as you post each drawing I become increasingly impressed. Sorry Sexual Mustard, but I think you have some competition here!

I really like the fantasy stuff!!! Where do you get the inspiration? Do you just trace from your mind's eye or are you drawing other pictures or images?

Here's mine by the way. I'm not that talented because I only draw when I get the inspiration, which is like once every few months. I have very little practice and experience which makes me even more proud of what work I do. Does anyone know what movies this is from?

Sexual Mustard · « **Reply #33 on:** October 30, 2006, 10:06:45 AM »

props to a fellow artist!

Figgs--why is it hard for you to gain inspiration? If you practiced more consistently, you'd be GREAT!

Best,
SM

Hey, ya think so?

I lack inspiration because it's hard to stay dedicated with the hobby when I'm just about 100% certain I won't put that talent to much professional use. Do you have any advice on where to draw inspiration? I'm not saying you guys don't inspire me, because you do! I just need to tap into my creative imagination somehow.

Actually, I've recently become interested in clay art. I'm a big fan of Bruce Bickford. Do you know his work?

Here's some more. lol and that's almost all the drawing I've done in the past year. But when I get into it, I get serious!

Good work, good understanding of line, I think that you could take your work to a new level if you brought in shadow and light..

It's funny, when I was a little kid my goal was to be the best artist in the world, and I worked towards that, I eventually arrived a place where I knew that this was difficult, how do you compare the best basketball player to the best swimmer, or the best bodybuilder, it would be hard to, besides competing against yourself allows you to achieve higher levels.

Inspiration from experiences, thoughts, things I have seen, places, people, etc..

The fantasy pictures were done straight from my brain, no tracing there.

Inspiration comes from new experiences, seeing new things, metting new people, reading new books, etc.. add some new experiences out of your current realm of comfort and your art work will change.

I haven't drawn in 15 years but it seemed like I only drew when I was depressed. My stuff is pretty simple compared to you guys.

I would just like to thank everyone for the positive and encouraging remarks. I put everything I got into my drawings. I will continue to amze all of you with more drawings as they come to mind. It sometimes takes me days, weeks and even months to come up with the finsihed product. I always like to give 110% to my drawings. Also, please keep in mind that the other artists are obviously on "something" and I am 100% natural. I don't even take supplements.

Thanks! Yeah the shadowing is done pretty poorly in that first pic. That's about 2 years old.

My parents always told me to just be the very best I can possibly be. If I were you, I'd feel content with my artistic talents (unless I felt I hadn't reached my potential), which go beyond just the average artist. You're both an illustrator and a sculptor of the human physique!

I really wish I knew how to tap into my creative imagination in order to draw something similar to your fantasy drawings. What kind of state of mind do you enter? You must be in some kind of hypnotic state of creativity.

When confronted with a new experience, new sight or any potential new source of inspiration, what thoughts stimulate artistic inspiration? I'm trying to understand the thought processes of an artist who perceives inspiration in his/her own unique way.

LOL I was tested the day I drew these. I'm a lifetime natural!

As for myseone and SM? Suspicion grows... hahaha

Just add shadow and light gradually, the best way to understand light and shadow is to study how it interacts with simple objects. Try shining a soft light from one side of a tennis ball or a tin can, and draw it, when you get nice with that graduate to things such as fabric, bodies, etc..

A good way to study light and shadow is to look at black and white pictures of bodybuilders.

I can't say I'm content with my artwork, I definitely don't think I've reached my full potential by any means yet, I'm going to see what specific focus can create in this regard. I'm happy with my physique, I think that I have some more room to improve though.

I'm not exactly sure if I enter a state of mind, if its a state I'm in it most of the time, as I'm always analyzing, day dreaming etc..so it comes natural for me. Music can help the process though, if I'm creating something driven and energetic I little to driven music, something relaxing gets relaxing music.

A lot of artistic expression is developed in the subconscious, the more diverse your experiences the more info in your subconscious and the more you can create out of it. also creativity is like growing muscles the more you stress it the stronger it gets.
