Research, guys, it matters. I'm putting together Friday's art lesson and to show my class that research matters, I have two tigers. I have not drawn a realistic tiger before. The first, on the left, is the one that I just picked a photo off the internet, drew what I saw, boom done. It's not a bad tiger, it's just not a good tiger.
The second one, on the right, is the one that I drew after an hour's worth of anatomical research. Muscles, skeletal structure, the observations of other artists. I think the results will convince my class to research for themselves.

OK so I have a new art blog and I want to make it more social and maybe rack up some followers. My old one will be deleted on Saturday, and my new one can be found here: https://kungfunaomi.wordpress.com/
Talent. Lot's of talent. These are great! I love your art!

Haha that's awesome! I was wondering who drew the cover!

"Seriously I have drawn one friggen horse in my entire life. ONE.
And so I did the smart thing…
And told them that I can definitely do it."
Most relatable thing I've ever read.

Oh... In everything. I'm just a huge overachiever sometimes. I'm a very "we'll figure it out" person. And I think in art in particular someone will commission a piece and 90% of the time I've never done what they're asking me to do
