Thank you....i have looked through my other ideas today, but i think i need a special effects program to achieve the images i see in my head, honestly....i have a whole movie with a soundtrack in my head for yrs, to see it coming to life is really something else.
I know, i just feel....the simple way is often the most effective to a certain degree of course, its why i stopped drawing, they felt so flat etc, compared to what i can do in photoshop, although i will start to draw again soon.
some of them yes, mostly contrast and a light texture. rare manipulations, but still with only textures. never tried to use stock images like you do. and then some not at all, like my last one, it's only a strong light and zero photoshop. many of my portraits, and nature shots are photoshop free too. it really depends of the initial image, if it "needs" something more or is enough by itself. to my own taste, of course.
i liked your drawings they were somehow primitive but strong, as i felt them. but if course we evolve, new ones will be different
i think so...in the past, my mind was literally raging with doubt while i was drawing, now im clear'r in myself....so im hoping the confidence shines through more.
Its all about, the satisfaction and joy of creating ?
