Watchers

So, I set up a tumblr, mostly to follow other people, but I'm also putting art-like stuff up there. A lot of it will be things that end up here eventually, but a lot of it also, uh, won't.

What to say? I am creeping toward 30, and studying English lit (when I am studying). Art is something I have done since I was small, like many people. I tend to do two things: digital art that vaguely mimics watercolors or marker work, and pencil sketches. I am more illustrative than realistic. I work with a Wacom graphire 3 (I think the 4x5?) in Paint Tool SAI and occasionally Photoshop, or 5mm mechnical pencils (preferably).

I can also paint in watercolors and acrylics. But it's such a pain that I don't, usually.

My favorite artist is Alphonse Mucha, and Art Nouveau in general has always appealed to me. Other artists I transitionally enjoy include John R. Neill and Renoir ... check who I am following for the kind of living artists I like. Tony DiTerlizzi's work I find gorgeous, and I follow a number of webcomics that I am too lazy to write out now.

Basically, there's something about a well placed line that catches my eye.

Personally, I wish I was better with anatomy of all kinds, and the shape of hands and feet still get to me. I feel frustrated when art is not "effortless", and I admire a cartoonish, casual style but feel like a chump when I try to emulate it.

I did, thank you. And on the first day of Christmas I met a publisher who's shown interest in me making a few illustrations for a book of his :la: So I may even have a promising new year :D
