I am a self-taught illustrator and lack confidence in my ability to critique others' art, I keep thinking they'd wonder -"what does she know?" But I feel we are born to create and with an innate sense for the aesthetics. I find a lot of so-called art that sells for lots of money looking horrible. I do also see beautiful pieces enjoying that benefit, but a lot of beautiful pieces that go underappreciated. I feel like a lot of art is being made to shock and provoke. I am sure I may be wrong, but to me that is not art. I feel like art can shock & provoke, but beauty & its aesthetic value shouldn't be stripped from it. I am very un-techy and I'm seldomly attracted to digital artwork. But I have a brain injury that, literally, wakes me in a panic up 70 times/hr every night (unless I am heavily sedated). Because I do not achieve rest, I am basically... uh... drunk, intoxicated, "high..." a lot of the time. This is in no way a blessing, but it makes me enjoy many different kinds of art. I enjoy my own art a lot more than I should because it makes me believe others would enjoy it as much. I forget most folks depth perception is not as affected or disturbed as mine. I forget I'm the only one in my household that sees flat images as multi-dimensional. I forget that when I draw with a lot of tiny little lines, I'm the only one who sees things popping out of the paper & move. So I am trying to learn to create gifs of my illustrations. I can't achieve making the gifs look exactly the same way I see them for others, but I only attempt to get a resemblance. That's my primary use for digital tools. This is an example of one: I used art pen ink, color pencils, & water based markers by Zebra for the drawing, then used Corel PhotoPaint from 2010 & Canva to make the gif. Thank you for sharing your painting with me!!! It draws you in!!!
