When photography skills don't help

Fri Aug 14, 2009, 5:11 AM
  • Mood: Frustrated
  • Listening to: "I've Got A Feeling" -Black Eyed Peas
  • Reading: Finishing Thief of Lives for the 2nd time
  • Watching: Bones
  • Eating: Kashi Bar
  • Drinking: coffee where are yooooou!?!
So I had one of those dreams last night. You know the kind I'm talking about. It was the "Holy Cow I am sooo inspired by this now" kind of dream. Yes I wrote it down with a pitiful lack of detail. Writing doesn't do it justice, and while I'm not a writer I am a reader. I have a high level of respect for writers, but even they would come back to me and say it would be better as a visual piece.

The problem? Hi, I am a graphic designer and a for-fun photographer. That does not help me here. My over-active imagination really hates me sometimes. I can always visualize every single line and whisp I want in my head, but my hands rarely get it right. And yes, I was an art major. Been through Drawing 1 and 2, Life Drawing, and various other classes that one would take if they were facing this problem. (If I were to go back I would take a painting class instead of ceramics... sorry but clay and I really didn't mesh...).

So the point of this long winded mass of blah?
You're going to possibly see some of my better attempts at drawing in the nearish future.
Constructive critiques are always welcome, although in the drawing arena if you've already thought of it so have I, so maybe stick with tips and confidence boosters (i.e. lie and say it's really good). =P
