Art parents
3yr
Greetings fellow artists! I saw today Stan and Marshall's Draftmen show ep05 of s01 "Adopting Art Parents to Develop Your Style" it was tremendously illuminating. How all this time, in search of forming my style, do I not reflect on the fact that one learns and absorbs a little of all the artists that we like or catch our attention?. As a self-taught artist I always navigate freely through all the information and illustrations, without closing myself to a particular school or styles, maybe , unconsciously I choose my favorite patterns and tools but never paying special attention to what things of this artist influenced me the most. Today I'm going to start to be more vigilant about what things I really want to use as communication tools and separate it from the things that I may like but are not really what, so to speak, ignite my passion when it comes to drawing or painting. I also proposed as an exercise to explore ,among all, the many books that I have of classic painters, films, video games, the current artists that I follow most in the networks, and see from which I really want to take artistic elements that contribute to my creations, basically order my internal register of styles and ways of making images, with the hope of being able to take another step in my search for my own style. In the Draftmen video, Marshall, at the end asks the audience and I would like to ask the same thing to the active proko community, Do you know who your art parents are? Do you know what elements do you take from each of them?
