| Hello all My name is Taja Brianne stewart AKA BlackInfinity666 I am 20 years old and I go to the art Institute of las vegas. I am getting my BA in media arts & animation. Q: HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN DRAWING FOR?? A: since i was 10 years old in 2000 so for 8 years ^^ Q: WHAT MADE YOU START DRAWING?? A: 2 things #1 i was into anime and i was all like "wow it looks so cool i wish i could do that" and # 2 i had this friend who could draw good (for her age) and i said i bet her by the end of the year i could beat her at drawing..and by the end of the year i did!! so from there it just turned into a passion ^^ Q:WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DRAW? A: girls ^^ mostly fantasy and japanese influenced things. I love drawing clothes and hair the most!! Q: WHAT INSPIRES YOU TO CREATE THE TYPE OF ART YOU DO?? A: like i said japanese things mostly and not because of anime. its mainly the whole culture.i love the way they dress ^^ i like how they are very fun and colorful so i include that in my drawings ^_^ Q: WHO INFLUENCED YOUR STYLE?? A: mostly random artist i saw all over the internet^_^. varied artist umm.. the character designer from KH..i love his designs and i liked the fact that he gave them huge feet so i started doing it to ^^ its basically anything i see that i think is cool i try to take that and twist it around to make it my own ^_^ Q: DO YOU DO FAN ART?? A: yes i actually love drawing other peoples characters and giving them flare!! i actually think sometimes they look cooler in my style ^^ Q: WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE PROBLEM WITH MOST ARTIST TODAY?? A: most artist today think art is about popularity when it should be something that comes from your soul!! they think if they draw good then they will be accepted...i do art for me!! to make ME feel good about myself..when i draw i try to do outside the box and i think most people are scared to do that... Q: ARE YOUR IMAGES DIGITAL?? A: NOOO...i get that alot...most people think i do digital art which i not true!! im actually the total opposite i only do traditional art...the only times i will do digital art is for photo manips and school (because its required) Q:WHAT DO YOU DO TO GET YOU PUMPED UP TO DRAW?? A: i think ALOT!! about different things..ideas,concepts....i listen to music..that influences me alot to ^^ Q: HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR ART?? A: umm i kinda think i suck but at the same time i think im awesome so i just think im humble ^^ i know there are people out there better than me...it doesn't bother me much though ^^ its just something we as people have to learn to accept ^^ Q:WHAT ARE THE STEPS YOU TAKE TO CREATE A PIECE?? A: i usually sketch out the pic, then i ink it making alot of changes along the way, i usually color the main part of the pic and i will make changes to a part of the pic before i color it sometimes..then i usually draw and color the BG and do the finishing touches..then edit it in photoshop ^^ Q: WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO AN ASPIRING ARTIST WHO IS HAVING TROUBLE BELIEVING IN THEIR ABILITIES?? A: just keep at it and keep learning and changing and that you will get to where you want to be if you keep working hard!! |

comment by:  Hey, I saw your thread in the art scene forum about helping you to grow. and I thought that I would help. The advice I would is to come out of the anime style and try some other things for a bit and see how you like them( I know you like anime and you could always go back if you like ) as for your realistic drawings, it looks like you are drawing them from magazines or pictures. I might be wrong, but I would suggest putting someone in front of you for some life drawing if you havent already... okay I just looked up at your description and noticed that you are in art school already lol. so you should be doing that you have the grasp of the human body in a nice whimsical sense. your pics are very bright and they grab a lot of attention. maybe try a different color scheme? different medium? I look foreward to seeing more things from you good bye for now. ~~~~~ Comment by  hey girly - i saw your post and i responded but it got locked. first things first, i really love your sense of color and how you're not afraid to be bold. but your anatomy needs work. if you can't go to art school, no biggie. while it'd be preferable, you can also see if maybe a local community college or art center offer figure drawing. pieces like [link] and [link] show that you have a very basic understanding of the body. i can only imagine what you'd come up with when you understand what you're drawing a little better. your last few pieces demonstrate a lot more effort than many of your previous drawings, so you're on the right track. but really, find a way to apply the basics into what you're doing. i see that you have a few realistic pieces up, but whats interesting is that i can tell that they're from a photograph. try not to copy an image exactly, but rather try to build it using the photograph as a reference. i can tell that you know a thing or two, but you need to figure out a way to better apply what you've learned into your imaginary work. i think that you've got a crazy amount of potential - your color sense is awesome and you've got a good sense of design, but what you need is a stronger foundation. be warned - a lot of people on here are going to be like DROP THE ANIME (as though they had these absolutely spectacular galleries as proof of their almighty anti-anime ways or as though they've never taken the time to draw what they truly enjoy), but dont. don't drop it, but be more attentive to details when you're working out of your head and find a way to apply observational teachings into your work. ~~~~~~~  Your gallery had my BF shouting "THAT'S ACE!" at the screen, good work. I really like cotton candy san. v.cute love the bold colours. you have a unique style when it comes to anime/manga characters. |
comment by  I really like this one a lot.  I really like the design in this and I really love the colors you chose. This is really amazing work, must have taken you a while. I really love the way you did the anatomy in this.  However as much as I love the the above illustration of yours I am really fond of you B&W drawings. I really love the way you utilized your positive and negative space in this illustration. Your an amazing artist and I love your gallery. Worth faves and watches. ~~~~~~ This is truly amazing work.  I would love to see you do more stuff like this. But then again I am a penciler and I am very, VERY, partial to B&W traditional art. The shading is exquisite and phenomenal. I think its going to be very difficult for you to grow as an artist, because you're already so mature as a very profound and talented artist. ~~~~~  Gosh, people really do look at that visitors box! *guilty* You're welcome -- I saw your journal on the 'today' page and read it, and I agree with some of the points you brought up; I also took a look at your work and I think you're very creative. I didn't comment because I felt it would be out of my depth, since I am primarily a photographer and writer. To be honest, though, what caught my attention was in great part the list of plz-icons you have next to your journal You have a few awesome ones in there I've never seen! ~~~~`~~  No art is universally adored - no color, no flower, no lyric or tune is agreed upon by all to be beautiful. And if it were, the very fact would somehow take away from its beauty. Art is not apologetic, and does not change itself to suit its viewer. If the viewer does not care for the art, the art does not retreat. The viewer must. ~~~~~~ Now after you punch them.....do THEY make you the lemonade? Sorry, I get thristy in the morning, lol. Beautiful work. I'm surprised someone of your calliber even posts on the thumbshare forums......... |
