It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be?"

Just a quick little study- It's defiantly harder to get smooth transitional shadow lines with acrylic- Going to practice some more today hopefully.</div>

I have liked drawing with pens lately. No mess, it's permanent and doesn't smudge in my notebook. It also gives me the challenge to get the measurements as accurate as I can, because once I put that mark down, it's there.

Trying to keep up with posts can be a challenge when so many other things are going on in life. But I thought I'd throw in this little rough from a job I am currently working on... Maybe I should do a demo on how I digitally paint this sketch from start to finish??<br />
<br />
<br />
I also received my copy of Henry Yang's Techniques and Figure drawing book. He is definitely amazing. If you want to learn figure drawing go study his book- <br />

I'm diving back into my fine art roots. I have started gessoing some boards... although that didn't run as "smooth" as I'd hoped. They apparently didn't like drying in the cold and left a lot of crackle affects on my gesso. (Which to some may be ideal, but I'd prefer it smooth for now.) However I believe if the drawing is exceptional the painting and values even better then who cares for now. I'm only starting. Tonight I thought I'd throw out a quick sketch to get me in the groove.....<br />

I decided to share the answer as a blog post because they are such priceless words of wisdom for every artist :)<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Articles of Art</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #0b5394;">By Leon Parson (from my notes)</span></i></div>
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394;">If it don't communicate, it ain't art. Any fool can make a mark!</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394;">Subject matter has very little if nothing to do with great art. It's what you do with subject matter that makes the difference.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394;">Draw what you know, not what you think you see; until the happy day you know what you are seeing, then you can draw it.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394;">If it looks dumb, DON'T DRAW IT!</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394;">A client says "Can you do it?" You say "Sure, no sweat!"</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394;">No one part is as important as the total.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394;">In order to do great art, sooner or later you're going to have to look at what you drew.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394;">An unfinished piece is ALWAYS unfinished.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394;">Decide what you want to say and say it.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394;">Do whatever it takes to achieve your goal or satisfy the clients needs.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394;">What if....?</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394;">If you live by the sword, you die by the sword.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394;">When in doubt, simplify.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394;">Sometimes the part you love the most is what ruins your art.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394;">If a client asks you to finish a month early, you can say "Sure, but it's going to cost you extra!"</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394;">There is nothing more appalling than a neat mistake"</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394;">If a drawing looks unfinished... it is!</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394;">If something looks out of place, add more of it (repetitions creates harmony)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394;">Find out what you are (not who) Get enough education so that you can be a professional you!</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394;">Become perfectly ourselves through Christ.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394;">Less is more.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #0b5394;">The subject is not more important than the whole painting.</span></li>
</ol>
<div>
<br /></div>

And I'm sure he has added more to this list or there are quotes I missed, but these are some of the things I jotted down from my classes with him. I wasn't completely sure how some of these would apply to me when I was in school, now I can say that he was right on the dot.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
On my desk <i>right now. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
(I have been playing with paper artwork- I was inspired a month or so ago when I came across Brittany Lee's blog- holy cow, she is fantastic~ As a kid I would draw and cut out my own paper people and make paper houses and tape the pages they were on together so I had this large book of places for the paper dolls to go to. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Anyways... spurred back memories and I thought it would be fun to do some myself. So I went and spent a bunch of money on colored paper. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Yep.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And it's been well over a month since I've worked on finishing it. Boo's face is still not finished. The fun part about paper art is my kid loves to do it with me. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Not working on that right now though, got to get back to my job on hand. I'm having a lot of fun with my current work.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

I have a secret desire- I want to be a Fine Artist. Yes. I have actually wanted to be a fine artist my whole life, and then when I went to school they turned me into an illustrator. <span style="font-size: x-small;">*(Which is not a bad thing, actually a good thing)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I love illustrating, and now I realize how much illustrating has opened my eyes and enhanced my skills to even better my fine art skills. But playing with a wacom or acrylics is just not as exciting. <br />
<br />
There is definitely a smile and definitely still a love love for illustrating. But I have a deep bonded reach for the stars, over the moon kind of love relationship with oil paints. Even the smell of walking into a oil paint, turpentine room can make me giddy- (and maybe a little sick)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So... I am excited to announce to myself and whoever out there reads this, that after years and years of waiting and waiting and waiting, I am going to join the Fine Art field. And it may be a very slow slow process as I still have a lot of obstacles in my way. Autoimmune and health issues.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yes I will still be illustrating, Yes I still LOVE illustrating, and Yes this will be the hardest thing to break into with all that's going on in my life but I'm hoping it will work out.</div>

I've realized living completely without picking up an oil paint brush for the past several years is just adding to my sickness Sooo.... we are working on figuring out a way (and place where I can paint)<br />
I can't wait for the day to be posting Fine Art along with my illustrations. :)<br />

This weekend I am finishing up a project that's due. I will also be doing Caricatures for an event as well- What are your plans this weekend?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you want to waste a weekend or several away, watch "White Collar" on Netflix.<br />
<br />
Seriously addicting stuff. Possibly my favorite TV show.<br />
<br />
Most definitely will waste any spare moment you have.<br />
