I'm only trying to give advice as an experienced artist myself. Take it or leave it. Trust me, I used to _HATE_ drawing realism with a passion.
You missed my point, by the way. Pablo Picasso didn't draw using that style all his life. He first learned to draw from the fundamental base of that style, which is life itself, just as every style should. Something I apparently failed to explain.
Forgive me if what I said came off as harsh, but I assure you, I wasn't just bashing your art. I offered you my (relatively?) constructive critism. The realm of art where I come from is so much harsher than that.
Slingerland: It's all this religious debate that made me sound pious.. racking my mind. :x Also, art is my profession. I have knowledge about it and I very much enjoy offering my input on other people's works, regardless of how mean it may sound.
