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.
