SORRY+FEATURE @ WACOM JUN

Journal Entry: Sat Jun 13, 2009, 12:16 AM


I being feature artist at WACOM jun issue,
thankyou Yuko Tashiro san for interviewing
You can see in this link
[link]

Sorry about submit a lot lately I think,I try my best but
I feel I missing something...
Lately I didn't feel good althought I drawing a lot
I have time to draw more as I want
but I feel lack of some feeling,

problem always cause because I worrying about 'financial'
It doesn't like student status which I can draw anything  and worry much about my life but now I've full responsibity of my life,
I'm fulltime freelancing,and have to takecare my mom,paid the bill ,I doing a lot of work ,every hour are value,so when I've my private time I still draw and draw I draw everyday at least 1 pic and submit everyday like you see but there still something missing which make me unhappy like past time,

I think it's because I worrying about 'finish art' everyday much because I do a lot of commercial work and those instinct stick with me,which is bad because it's make me draw fast...finish fast because time is value for client,
I didn't try to rush ,but well that way making commercial art stick with me now,and I try to remove it to feel more like artist.


Good thing is thankyou for everyone who comment,+fav,commission me,
that why I still alive and keep drawing,


I mean because I still have to worrying about my financial,
billing,anything in life it make me
can't focus on making good original art,
Of course I said when I've time to draw my original
I know that we should seperate but
I thought I didn't do well,as professional illustrator
I always want to have time to draw more but when I've time to draw more
I can't focusing on drawing because I still have to think about
others thing in life,I'm now trying to do better.
and my problem now is I can't focus in 1 pic like past time.

So to fix this problem I think from now on I won't submit art much here,
but I'll submit in my homepage instead,
include process then when it refining enough I will submit here in DA,
Please visit my homepage I will submit everything there,

Problem is sometime I still need feedback,like comment but when I submit in homepage,
it's less comment,anyway I'll not care about that from now on
at least it make me feel good,because submit a lot of art make me feel like spammimg your box,and make me feel didn't proud much.

So Please visit homepage instead from now on,
I still drawing everyday but I will not submit here much,
and try to refine work,because it may make me feel better.

So thankyou very much for everyone support,
who commission me so far,thanks a lot.


Currently I open 25$monocol' commission.
10 slot left open.
At least I've something to fullfill fuel of passion.
If you interesting in 25$ commission you can take slot.:)
At least I got occasion to draw something different,in my style which is good so that.
I thought I will close awhile after I complete 15 slot,
and may be open less slot later.
I think most of PPL afford this price so I decide to open.

25 its to cheap by the quality you have meisan, its better to have less work but better paid, than tons of work and less money. To much work for cheap prices sooner or later will kill you.


Wacom dont interview artist for 25 buck, you deserve more.


I got the vibe you were having, past journal, figurate out what i was doing wrong. You are drawing just because you want to draw, so you produce something empty to your eyes but not the viewer.

The reason its this, clients comision you because they have stories for the characters you will draw, and you feel them alive, and you got lazy to think in the background of the ones you do.

For example, you draw a chick with a sword, just because you wanted to draw a chick with a sword.

But remember old young days, you draw a chick with a sword, but you know if she was happy, what was her favorite color, who gave her that sword, if she was scared to thunders, if she was afraid fighting, you dreamed when you drawed, you smiled when you were in the process.


But now you draw just a chick and a sword, you feel empty cause you only picture a manequin, holding a weapon.


The result emptyness.


So know everytime i draw, ive even think jokes a character will say, and makes me alive again, dreaming when you draw its the thing that its missing, sometimes you worry to much about quality, than, creating a breathing character.

I can bet its that, cause sometimes you draw to much, and you become a living machine, a printer machine. You wont dream anymore, so each time you draw now.

Think in, whats the characters name, what she likes to drink, if she got a flu, why she loves the guy next to her, whats her favorite trick, if she has a weird hobby like you?. And when you add personal things of your life to it, the more alive becomes.


Now im going to watch the interview, luv the interviews of people that i admire.

I thought so,
25 buck is quite cheap and I can't do rush quality so I decide to charge more later after I've complete 15 slot.

Thankyou for you advice and comment hector,
I really appreciate.

I think I draw so much lately but I quite feel emptyness I read your journal also,that's so inspire.
I'll try my best.
