The-Stage-Name

Greetings to the few stragglers who still swing by this old page, but I'm coming back to art and I think I mean it this time.

So here's the deal, I love art and drawing, but I have a problem. I draw traditionally from reference, and recently I've been painting those drawings digitally. My average output on new stuff is about 2-3 a year, if that, which doesn't make any sense. 

I have this problem with art, and I think it comes down to lack of self confidence with drawing. See I'll start a new drawing, and I'll make it into a whole event, get the pencils out, clear space, and make room for where this drawing is going to sit for the next few months until I finish it, and that last bit is the problem. I start to make progress on my new drawing, it starts to look good, and then I get this mixture of procrastination, and an innate fear that if I keep going ill mess it up, and god dammit it looks good right now! So away it goes, back into my drawer, 'I'll get back to it when I'm ready'. Months pass. Eventually I reach a point where I stop being so precious and pick it up and finally finish it in a 'Fuck it ive got a new idea I need to get this one outa the way, even if i do ruin it' kinda way. I never ruin it, I'm usually happy with it, so that cycle needs to stop.

This is how I'm going to do it. The title of this entry. I've always wanted to get into digital art in a real way, mostly because it will speed me up, throw away that fear of messing a piece up, and allow me to have a bit of fun with drawing again. I've got a little wacom, and I'm taking the plunge. I'm not leaving traditional art behind, if anything I'm doing this so I can return to it a better and more effective artist. 

Im two days in, and two pieces of art down, first day was fun, today was hard. But hey, I've finished two drawings in one sitting, which is literally a miracle for me. Who knows whether tomorrow will be awesome or a mess, but its going to finished and uploaded regardless.

Have'nt done a Journal entry in a while either, mostly because O know nobody reads this page anymore, but this has been kind of therapeutic for me..  If you are reading along however, Hi there!

So despite re-igniting the old art flame as I've delved into digital art as well as traditional, recently I've moved house and started a new job which means my drawing time has been cut down a little!

Ive also got no internet in my new room so that's going to take a little while to sort out also. Until then have a look around my gallery and keep an eye out, Im determined to get more art on the go soon!

Stage out

So for my birthday last month my girlfriend got me a shiny new graphics tablet! Id always been curious about digital art and I'm a huge fan of all things colourful so it was an awesome gift.

Lately I've been getting a few more things up, the latest of which being my first real attempt at painting over my new drawing and I'm actually pretty happy with it, I'm super stoked to keep going and keep improving, I'm pretty much drawing/painting whenever i get a free second these days, loving it .

Stage Out

So I've been getting a few things uploaded recently, but I feel like this account is a bit baron, I surprise myself with how long I've been subscribed and how little I've been putting up! . I guess I could get myself involved with the community like a real deviantart person and get some views flowing, and maybe ill do that. 

Either way in the meantime I am drawing a little more lately, and being a bit more successful with it, and not taking ages, so I feel good! Also been thinking about getting into Digital art lately, so if i can take the plunge on that then im sure it will help me get this profile loaded with art .

Stage out

I have been drawing, just slowly... Anyway, ive now done 2 new things in the last year, which is pretty amazing for me . Ill try n keep em coming.
