Wow! I guess I never realized how my art works... I just did it. As a kid, I always drew from imagination or by watching anime and trying to replicate the characters without stopping the show. I was very creative as a kid I must say. And fearless. But then as I grew older, things have changed. I can't even remember when was the last time I drew without a reference photo, because I like to be precise. Thank you for showing all these spontaneous artworks, I love them all! They inspire me to draw whatever comes to my mind. I will keep a mini sketchbook around so I can draw whenever the inspiration fairy visits me.

I really like that he mentioned the freedom of an artist: you can choose aesthetic over technical truth.

Asked for help
Hi guys! Nice to be here :)
My name is Maja, and I am a self-taught artist who has always regretted not going to art school but pursuing another career. It came out of nowhere but I decided to learn perspective! Because it's fascinating and seems like a riddle that I want to solve. And I am also dreaming about creating my own comic one day, and I don't want it to be just a dream.
1. Masters:
(1-2) Stefan Große Halbuer (plastic.pen)
(3) Sachin Teng
(4-6) Katsuhiro Otomo (author of AKIRA)
(7) Kim Jung Gi
(8-9) Moebius
2. Big picture goal:
(1) Really want to learn how to draw things from different angles. People, food, vehicles, animals, and whatever my heart desires.
(2) I never ever draw background! But why not? I really would like to learn how to draw imposing buildings, breathtaking sites and creative indoor spaces. (And also I am a sucker for bird's eye view!)
I am excited about your course! Let me learn a lot. :)
