So anyway, I just realized how much I multitask while I draw sometimes…I think it has a lot to do with my tight schedule and how little time I have these days. 90% of the time that I’m drawing something, I’ve either got the t.v. going on in front of me, I’m watching a video or studying for a test (I know that’s really crazy and probably a little bit irresponsible, but what can I do?)

I was actually watching videos on Youtube while coloring this drawing. Something tells me that I’m not alone in this. I’m pretty sure that there are many artists who also have tight schedules as well and find themselves multitasking more times than they are not.

Back when I used to play video games, I was really, really bad with the multitasking thing. When I was a Wow fanatic, I used to draw my comic pages while my toon was flying to her destination. If you’ve ever played Wow, sometimes it would literally take about 30-45 minutes just to get to one place, so rather than waiting around and doing nothing, I got to drawing! And you know what, it actually worked for me xD.

On another not, I have a new tutorial up! You can access it through the link I posted or in the resources section of this blog. Also, be sure to check out my latest  screen cast as well. Have a good day!

Speaking of random doodling, is there anyone else out there who turns their doodles in to masterpieces? Or do most artists set out to draw a masterpiece? This may sound sad but I’ve never made a single piece of art that I would consider a ‘masterpiece’ x.x.

Now that I’m semi on the topic (ADD much x.x!) What do people consider good art? What is good art? I’m still somewhat dwelling on Wednesday’s topic sorta. For another artist to want you to change your style all together, they obviously don’t that you have ‘good art’. But then when some random Joe Shmow comes along and thinks your art is amazing and wants to buy art work from you! WTF?

Or how about this? Everyone in your circle thinks your art is ‘good’ but then some random person you’ve never even met before says your art is not ‘good’. Or how about this? You actually own a business and make money through commissions every single day of the year and then some random artist comes up to you and says your art is ‘not good enough’?

Frankly, at this point, I don’t really care if someone criticizes my work. From what I’ve seen, most artists really could care less what others have to say about their work. But I know many artists who are really passionate about their work and when someone comes up and tells them their creations are ‘bad’, they won’t brush it off so easily. That’s what’s bothering me right now x.x.

I’ve seen so many artists on Deviant Art especially have their artwork bashed down on and have someone tell them that their art ‘sucks’ or is ‘bad’. I know most of this is just mindless trolololololing but still? It’s really messed up.

I’ve been drawing seriously for close to 12 years so I’ve developed a really thick skin to that kind of stuff after all these years. I know someone is always gonna tell me my art work is ‘not good enough’ and all that, and that’s fine with me. As far as I’m concerned, I’m not the one who took the time to write about how ‘bad’ someone else’s drawings are. I have better things to do with my time and that folks, is a waste of time in my book xD.
