Posted July 1 https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/donaapo/bird-watching Here is an album of music I made. Actually got started with EDM production because of The Life Purpose Course. It's been over 5 years since. If I recall correlty I got started as a musician in 2019. Time flies. I am happy if any of you guys or gals decide to give it a listen haha. If you do, just let me know what you thought of it and if you want me to make a specific style of music in the future, I am all for suggestions. https://aaposol.com/ my personal website-actualized since 2015-just waiting for the day-we have the first guys on the forum born on 2015 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted Wednesday at 01:52 AM @Sucuk Ekmek I see a shoreline, receding to a vanishing point. Waves meeting the land, as the sunset illuminates two craggy outcrops as they meet the sea. I do not know if this is the subject - if it is, you captured it well! The colours of the sunset replicating on the rocks are exactly how light behaves. If it is not the subject - it doesn't matter, as it brings forth concepts of beauty, regardless Deal with the issue now, on your terms, in your control.

Posted Thursday at 01:18 AM @Princess Arabia This is really good - hands are one of the most difficult things to render! I start with cylinders and try to link them up. Feet are equally as troublesome for me Deal with the issue now, on your terms, in your control. Or the issue will deal with you, in ways you won't appreciate, and cannot control.

I start with cylinders and try to link them up. Feet are equally as troublesome for me As long as I'm looking at a picture, I can do it easily; but from my head, it's a bit more challenging. I googled that hand and drew it from there. I draw best when I'm looking at the thing I'm drawing. Your profile Pic is a good one to draw.

Posted Thursday at 04:14 AM @Princess Arabia Yes this is actually a skill only masters have, in general. All my skill has come from endless copies, repetition. I learn the form. Then from my mind I can create. However, most artist still use reference material as a base. Its a skill born of repetition - most things are really. It's just that most people don't stick with problems long enough. All the greats really stuck with problems and didn't let them go. Always good to remember - drawing from reference is still artistic creation. It's your direct, personal interpretation of what you are perceiving. Regardless of the source. I will add on I had a genetic gift for art and motor skill from my grandfather. But repetition is key. Without execution talent means zero. Here's another one - not finished. Peregrine falcon - the fastest creature on earth. I am going to collage this over images of all different bird feathers in unusual configurations: Deal with the issue now, on your terms, in your control.

Posted 13 hours ago @Sucuk Ekmek I really like your stuff my man - in particular your use of colour. I sense practice and experience combined with a keen eye for observation. It takes skill to render an image without lots of BLACK for shade. Which, to me, is a novice mistake Deal with the issue now, on your terms, in your control.
