....so dA just deleted my journal entry after I'd waffled on - Grrrr!!

In essence...people who make money from their art, do you have someone help you e.g. an agent or does your work speak for itself?

Also...do you think someone who can draw can draw anything? e.g. a landscape painter paint people and vice versa? I have problems getting a likeness of people. I know one of the greatest talents of a good portrait artist is to get some of a person's personality in there, but I struggle to even get them to look the same...!!

Just a couple of questions that have been floating around my head and hopefully I'll feel better now they're out!

It's no longer Christmas so need to change my journal!

Happy New Year to everyone, hope this year is a goodun'.

I'm uploading loads of scraps, I need to practise people and I'm trying to do at least one a day, so far not coming on so well, there's a person with the hardest face to draw ever!! I'm gonna crack it though...

Well, please have a look around and let me know what you think...

Short and sweet like me....

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

I hope everyone has a lovely Christmas and the new year brings refreshed hope for the endless possibilities of life..

So, I was asked to paint a mural at the end of my last job in California and now I know that's what I want to be when I grow up.

I am grown up so I best get cracking! Now I'm back in England but wanting to leave I'm loathe to try and get something established but I feel I should just get on with it and move when I get the opportunity.

Anyway, any tips for aspiring mural artists?

And a copyright question: How does the copyright work if say for example someone wants a Disney scene painting in their nursery? Assuming one day I achieve some sort of success will there be any reciminations from the work in my portfolio?

I'm practising my people and I think it's working. I need to find my own style now. Put a stamp on my work.
I know that's going to take a whole lot more practise and experimenting but I know I'm on my way!

Woo.
