A silent realisation…

I’m not happy at all in the world of colorful lineless paintings. Granted, they’re incredible pretty and it would be nice and really, really great if I could produce a great painting, and my skill’s passable, I think… But I DO NOT enjoy painting. At all. It’s a chore. It takes to much time, is to inefficient for me and it’s utterly frustrating.

It took some time for me to realise this, actually. And making this decision sure wasn’t easy, too. It’s a very important decision, though. Because knowing what you do not want to do is as important as knowing what you want do – only this allows you to truly focus onto your strength, to become truly great. And at least in the area of art a personal style is also defined by the things the artist doesn’t do at all additionally to the how he/she does it.

I might pick up painting again in the future (Never say never…), but right the goals is to master the lineart and it’s colouration - so that I can develop my own, definite style.

    Better to move ahead strongly on one style than trying to master two. Yay you. :)
