Creative Post - Overthinking and Drawing Quick Landscapes With Color Demo+ PSD

Added 2024-10-14 12:00:14 +0000 UTC

Hello!

In one of the latest Creative Posts I wrote that I'll do a few extended articles on drawings and painting my art pieces. To be honest, I didn't think that it would be so hard!

Few words on overthinking and mistakes

Sometimes I'm overthinking my abilities in certain areas of art. For one painting I'm really happy with my colors. For another - not really.

I decided to be more consistent with my skills and to accept the truth - the process of creation is rarely a steady and fully controlled one. You'll make mistakes, but it's not important. The big picture, the idea, the concept - that's important. And when you are pursuing this instead of be idealistic or fully controlled or no-stress process, you will get better.

Actually, a lot of great artists make mistakes constantly. It's just the world we are living now - you can't make mistakes on record. It's forbidden and weak. You should be inspiring in your flawlessness. Though it's not a reality, and it's not really inspiring.

So I'll do my best to share my process and my way of thinking without being flawless!
