lol i hear ya! I am 60 years old and trying to make a go at art.. Have one piece juried into a show have sold a few pieces in retail places..I am what you call self taught......i am having a hard time deciphering what you meen......lol you were doing awesome stuff in art1 and they were cool but this is not what i wanted ...too bad! Someone says my stuff is awesome, and cool and yet it is too bad?

[Spiderlok33]

Thank ya bro! I had hard time following ya, but now i understand ya! Thanks a whole bunch! Yeah school art classes, are way too restrictive, in terms of expressing your feelings. After all in all communication, non verbal is far more powerful than the written verbal. Unless you are literary genius, which excludes most of us. Art, the nonverbal allows many more people to be expressive. thank god, orelse we would explode..lol!

How do you start off your work, cause were doing stuff like this and i dont know how to even begin like it seems easy enough but putting random to meaning is hard lol the last one it did looks like i drew on the background with a marker and it wasa really bad picture, it looked like an animal in the middle

I just start out with a blank screen, and start using any of my programs(dogwaffle, twistedbrush,art rage, and adobe photoshop. Now i have been doing these for four plus years non-stop. What i did in the beginning is what i would use as a seed to get my new ones going. In other words the ones in the beginning looked boringly bland, but i did not know what i was doing.

I had joined wetcanvas, at the encouragement of the developer of twistedbrush ken carlino. I then eventually became a guide at the wetcanvas absract and contemporay forum. During those years i learned a lot about composition, and color usage, in terms of making abstract art. It is not looking for comprehension, but looking for connections, when you get the connections, it is like fishing for bluegills in pitch black darkness,you feel the subtle signs of the nibble, and you don't set the hook until you know it is really hooked. You are going to have many misses, but you eventuallly start getting ah-has a lot!

Since I don´t do that abstract either and only use ps cs3 (oldest version) withouth any extra programs and even get harrassin programs on that one, I can`t give valuable feedback.. but your art is very effective and capturing. I would say, don`t post more than max 10 of the bests in one portfolio. If pieces are too many, them don`t get the proper attention they deserve.
Peace out
