I don't mean to be graphic, but I get a hard on for your art, if that makes sense. It's just so well done, even your sketches. It's like I'm having a relationship with your drawings.
you’re my favourite person in the entire universe at the moment.

“I am an optimist, but about nothing…It’s just my nature to be optimistic.”
—Francis Bacon
First off, you're amazing! and second, i have a few questions...When you draw, do you reference other pics or do you just have their faces down already? also like in your body drawings, do you reference actual bodies or other pics to help with like shading and stuff or are you just that amazing?
‘are you just that amazing?’
huh. i don’t think me using or not using references for my art should have any impact on the final product being more amazing or less amazing. but thank you anyways :)
i sometimes use reference pictures and i sometimes don’t when drawing. i find it easier to work from because i enjoy blind contour drawing. i take a lot of my own references with models etc.
painting i always have some on hand, especially of the actors.
i also enjoy referencing other artists. i’m particularly influenced by my favourite artists james jean and francis bacon. i enjoy drawing on aspects of their works. especially lines. i have an obsession with lines in work- the visible, invisible. the negative spaces.
ingesting whipped cream directly from the can may seem like a highlight of being eighteen and living alone.
but really it’s awful and no one should do it. it’s bad for you. don’t do it.
“Q: Do you have a personal philosophy?
A: Never answer e-mails from Nigeria. That said, I feel sorry for people who are actually sending legitimate emails from Nigeria. My point: If you’re running a business, be professional, honorable and worth every penny. Your actions affect the industry at large.” —James Jean
