creativity 6 ..... deep down the rabit hole

hay.... creativity again... today I shall look at art work that inspires me, everyone like there own type of art work and I think that the art work that I like has to be detailed, I like the odd simple thing but I love detail in a painting or drawing, I don't like most the classical artists because they are keepers of there own technique and no one else can do it better than them, I like art work that you can unravel with your eye, pick it apart and absorb the skills of another.

I like a lot of digital art but I see it as a easy art style to put detail in to, but I don't mind that any more because I did not like digital art when I first saw it because it seemed to have a lot of cheating factors like being able to undo mistakes, and mixing media that you can not do in the real world, tracing work... I don't like that and adding pictures of some thing and painting over it to get the texture u want, I can't and wont do most of these thing when I using the graphics tablet because undoing is not an option in reality and adding a picture in to it and painting over it, I think this is a foolish way to do art because you will never learn how to paint the thing you used as a picture unless you learn how to paint it properly.

any way I love detail in art work and every time I see some proper art work it inspires me to create some thing as detailed, all tho I can not paint as good as the art I have seen I still pushes me to move falward to get the skills I need, but its not the same with digital art because I don't think its the same thing it still inspires me but not as much as real art.
the picture on the left is done with acrylics and the one on the below is digital I'll let you decided which is better........bye.!!
