patchx94: I wanted to welcome you into the class, and to let you know that you're always welcome to join! We have a very open format, so you can participate in the lessons that inspire you, and pass on the ones that don't -- it's no big deal! (: I can be pretty amotivational, as well (don't tell anyone.. haha!), and I do art for a living. So don't worry about that.
At any rate, thanks for participating in lesson 1! I'm sorry that we are a bit slow to getting feedback, as we are focusing primarily on lesson 2 at the moment, and we've been insanely busy with Christmas (and now New Years!).
I want to do this, but I'm afraid that if I do what I consider confined art, my stuff that i do purely from inspiration will be tainted. I will allow anyone to take what I make and improve them. I know I should learn to draw limbs and full body structures, but wish to stay in the abstract end of art.
I would like to thank vrt and pepokish for providing this service.
You can never unlearn something by learning something else.
If you feel that this class is not for you, then of course you don't have to join in! We work with representational art, and don't have much experience with abstract -- and we can teach only what we know, nothing more. But I can see no real harm in learning something new -- I can't see how it would taint your ability to create abstract art, only improve your ability to make representational art as well. (: I find that learning proper anatomy has only freed my imagination further, by allowing me to put into proper form the things I imagine... but that's just my experience, and I'm sure yours may be different.
In any case, you're very welcome! I'm sure I may speak for vrt as well, when I say that this is something we really enjoy, and I'm so glad that we have this chance to help out!
