Bondage Art

[Chuckdom19]

My Dom gave me permission, so here's the only drawing I'm wiling to post in here for now.

To our great detriment, my dear BabySub. You have a great talent. Beautiful work.

Thank you.

Honestly, I would like to post more images here, but I don't have many at this moment. I'm still finding my feet art wise (self taught), and when I look at drawings I've done, I see misakes and things I want to do better. It takes me ages to work on drawings because I really go for the realistic look, and therefore take a heck of a long time to achieve that. lol.

My dream for the future is to be able to sell some of my art, and right now that means concentrating more on non sexual things, as well as the occasional erotic image. I've done a couple of angels for example, things like that. Eventually perhaps.

Feedback is always appreciated, so thank you again.

If you are serious about art I would give you this advice, stop copying other people's images unless there is a specific artistic reason for doing so. Don't worry about technique and how much detail you can duplicate. Draw or paint the things that excite you. If you find a subject you are passionate about go with it. If you want to draw images of bondage draw them from life and experience. I suppose it all comes down to whether you want to be an illustrator and just illustrate the world around you or whether you want to communicate your own ideas and feelings.

This may sound harsh but its not meant to be, its honest advice. Don't become a member of what an old lecturer of mine called 'The Dead Tree Society' of art or I suppose 'The Dead Hand Society'. I know you aren't going to like this but I'm not meaning to be cruel. Go to art galleries and look at great paintings and you'll see they aren't overburdened with detail. Look hard at them and ask yourself what the artist is trying to express.

If you aren't serious about your art then ignore this advice and put me down for an idiot for thinking you wanted genuine feedback.

I only copied that one image because it was something that 'spoke' to me. For whatever reason, it was an image that stayed with me, and I knew I had to draw it for my Dom and myself. That's the only reason I've copied that particular one.

I do want to do my own art, and I have my own ideas and situations which I'm trying to implement, but it all takes time. As I stated, I'm self taught, still learning, and going through many processes as I do so. It's a learning curve, I started drawing again about a year ago. The last time I did any was at school, 14 years ago.

I know there are many artists, great and not so, who don't use much detail and form in their styles, and I know it works. Everyone has their own style however, and I am still trying to define/find mine, if you want to call it that.

I do appreciate any feedback on this, so your comments were welcome. I think I've explained all that I can.

I wasn't being damning, I was just being forthright. There is absolutely nothing wrong with self-taught and even some benefits if you're dedicated enough. I wish you all the best. Good Luck!

Art is a very Deceptive thing- eroticism can be achieved in a painting or drawing by very subtle means... by this I mean to say that hints of something going on actually speaks louder in a picture than literally painting it, maybe you sure try to find a place between erotic art and mainstream art- that might give you an edge.- I have been drawing all my life, well till recently- I found it hard to capture all that i want to show... it isnt until i give up on finding the perfect thing to show all, and just show parts that my art begins to invite mystery and become more than what is there.

I guess my advice to you BabySub is not to worry about the every detail - and don't concern yourself with styalistic realism. Go for the passion, forget about the technical. Use your detail to convey facts, but dont let it dominate your message.

[BabySub]

Hmm. Ok. The human body isn't something I have a lot of experience in drawing, so that's partly why I'm doing so much detail right now. I want to get a 'feel for it' if that's the right wording. So far I've done 5 or 6 with mostly women (one man) and it's trial and error. There are many styles and techniques that I'd like to try, but with working, I have limited time just now. Lol, when I'm not working, I have limited funds, so therein lies part of my problem.

Europa: I am dedicated enough, art is the only thing I've wanted to do my entire life. For various reasons I've never had the chance before, but now I am determined to at least give it a go. If I don't, I'll be constantly asking myself 'what if..' and I don't want that. It might take me a while, but I'm willing to persevere. Self taught, to me, is fascinating. I'm learning much, on my own, and finding a joy to do.

Rip: I do fully intend to do my own thing, which is probably a cross between fantasy and erotic, so we'll see what happens there. I think that's probably why I've done a couple of angels, experimenting with wings, lol. I know exactly what you mean about 'mystery' in art, and I personally love seeing that. I love to be able to see my own imaginings and thoughts in images; but then I also love to be able to see the full thing too. ::shrugs:: I guess I want it both ways.
