After the polemic arround my 14th tutorial, I must confess it's quite hard to hold my hindsight, to be humble. I am not as indifferent as I thought.

I think I can add some words to the previous journal entry :

TUTORIAL : I did tutorials in the objective to share something about Art, about Creativity, about Step by Step...
Build tutorial is a complexe exercice because mostly technique/approach are intuitive. You can't learn the intuitivity.
I do it for free, and this time the cost seems very expensive for me =)


TRACING : Before the last tutorial, I didn't know this word " TRACING ". It evokes a cold exercice.

The misunderstanding is hard to accept. I wonder if you really read the tutorial. What I call " roughing " is the part where, if I need (this is not automatic), I add a layer with a photoreference to make a sketch/rough of the composition, mood, story... This layer is deleted once the painting start, as point out in the tutorial. This moment is indepedant of the painting time for me. This is like a brainstorming.  
And I read that this part is called tracing.  And I read all my drawings is traced as if I needed a photo reference each time I paint. I read and I don't understand.

Anyways =)

DIGITAL PAINTING : The digital art is my game, my hobby. This activity gives a particular flavour in my life. When I watch my gallery, I see with amazement how many times I changed my mind, years after years, the evolution of my thoughts, my vision.
After reading some comments, I feel quite disgusted... because it reduces the 20-30 hours of work by painting in dust. You call it tracing. I didn't know about the "tracing" cheatcode, I could flood DA of masterpieces with this technique ! ^^ Three or four paintings by weeks !

ART> : According to the critiques, I would be disrespectful with photographers. Once again, it's hard to understand. If I claimed my works were done without ref, it would be disrespectful. It isn't the case.
I used to add the step by step of each of my artpiece, I you can see I change my mind 2-3 times by painting, independantly to the reference (this is what I call Art) :
WIP Bursting of a dust bubble by AquaSixio

And mostly of my artpiece are done without ANY reference... just my dream/mind/intuition :
A life-jacket in the desert by AquaSixio Come to life by AquaSixio Purblind Puppets by AquaSixio ...

References move away the limits of imagination... it's a boost.


CONTINUATION : I claim nothing, I am not the king of art, the master of emotion or the prince of color.
Currently, I am doing this artwork
WIP Autumn coronation by AquaSixio
but it's like if something was broken in me... haha
I'm fine, of course but I will need time, I will continue.
This kind of ordeal heads me higher =)

Thanks to all people who supported me, it means a lot =)

There's nothing wrong with the way you do things. People just had a knee-jerk reaction to something that really isn't bad. I hope you can find a way to ignore all the mean things said and only let the supportive things stick.
