Critiques


Seeing the previous works of the artist allows us to see how much they really have improved. and improvement is really all that matters...

At some stage I plan to do speed sketches of these randomly and then reference back to them... One day when I have time!

Wow. It's hard to believe that it's been exactly a year and one day since my last journal AND that I only did one journal the whole of last year.. although I only did one commission the whole year so the lack of my artistic (let alone online) presence was duly noted by all including myself. Thanks to all who have been supportive, this has been a tough year and a bit. I am now very well adjusted to my medication, and have moved out of home. The side-effects I feel these days are mostly minor hand and feet pains that I just try to ignore and employ mind-over-matter as much as possible.. I can't really do the same with the fairly frequent headaches. These are partly due to side-effects of the medication and a pre-existing sensitivity to light, but I can almost always sleep them away.. The heat here has gotten even more intense - some parts of the country reached 43C(109.4F), and it reached 38C on the hottest day in my neighbourhood here.. My PC Business could be doing a bit better, but I have started studying now full-time so time has obviously been even more critical. I haven't done much drawing, but I have been able to make my way through some deviantArt admin work the last few days, and as I have always said - I WILL make my way through each and every submission(even those that have expired).

So I struggle forward, ever trying to make my story more detailed, more complete - like my pieces.

I am a Pencil Artist by nature, but I delve into other worlds that I find interesting or intriguing. I play Classical and Romantic Piano (mainly Beethoven sonatas, some Chopin, some Brahms[in progress]). I practice Shaolin Kungfu..

Currently working starting up my own computer consultant/repairs company..

I appreciate the female form for it's beauty, and am a slave to sexual provocation, but I try to keep myself tame...

I studied Art at Rondebosch Boys' High school and then at Ruth Prowse School of Art for a Year after school, but found that I learnt more about painting and art than about drawing there and could not afford another year..

I have what doctors are calling "Severe Raynaud's Phenomenon" - So bad that the pains stop me from walking or driving, sometimes even typing. and yes, Phenomenon - no known cause. So I have stopped practicing Kungfu as of 2010 as well as reduced all my normal activities to a near stand-still. But Hey, could be worse - I could be crippled or something!
