Still another old pencil sketch that I found in one of my old folders. I wanted to show my shading skills in this one with how the arrows and the triangles and the use of line. I think I was trying the idea of showing perspective. Please comment on this one and it would be appreciated.

My Artwork #3
Here is yet another pencil sketch that I drew a long time ago and decided to color. I am hoping that with the different strokes of the crayon that I tried the viewer will feel the idea of the blue sky flowing by looking out the window and enjoying a cup of tea or something. Please comment and I would appreciate it very much.

When the Artist Becomes the Art
We like to think we can separate the art from the artist, but can we, really? Art is born from the same place as sin. It mainly emerges from conflict: between what is felt and what is permitted, between the self that is lived and the self that must be hidden. No figure embodies this tension more vividly than Oscar Wilde: a man who transformed his own contradictions into style, wit, and devastating clarity. His novel The Picture of Dorian Gray is not merely a tale of aesthetic decadence but the battleground on which this question is fought.

Center Stage with Paul Stewart
*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

This is the one skill that really stuck from my school art classes. My favorite is drawing railroad tracks. Thanks for the great comment.
Very good perspective! I still struggle with it but it is so important to practice.
I am not very good at art which is why I usually use AI art. Great piece
Ah, I didn't see the tunnel at first which just goes to show that our vision is determined as much by what we expect to see as what is presented to us by the artist. Thanks for an interesting insight
I love art but feel lucky if I can draw a straight line. Just never had that kind of talent. You should show more. It's really good.
