I'm guessing that most people have already discovered this, but I just worked it out. |

Saving drafts has never worked for me. I stopped trying to do it when it said DRAFT LOAD FAILED or something like that and I had to start all over. |

I wanted to ask a question of the artists on TD, so looked for a thread on which to post it.... and found this! It is full of great technical information and there is much to digest! |

HI Mum,When I found TD I was very naive,didn't even know how 2 exploit the pieces, their shades,the texture n all .Still I struggle a lot 2 complete a picture.some time i get the success sometimes falls flat.:).Its just try again n again n again n.................So the only mantra is-___Try again n again n again n............................:) |

Hi Mum23! You've put an interesting question here. Can't wait to see some more responses here. Here's my opinion: i believe getting the details right is requires more than one tehnique. I've got one theory based on which part of the brain the artist uses most. As scientists claim, some are good at having a strong reason, organisation and some are mess masters.( I obviously tend to migrate from the second category to the first one. ) The 'mess master' is an old claim I've got against my way of putting the pieces together, so I hope nobody will feel offended reading this. For some, this actually works. I refer to artists who can actually make a great diversity of pieces connect into something beautiful. That's one way of keeping a more intimate approach of the subject, therefore focusing only on 'significant' details...details that build the character, the atmosphere, etc. Not necessarily building a strong composition, more like...using the pieces wisely. Oh, and having a great perception to help you with that! |

The more you learn about form -- this takes time, observation and study -- the more your know what you can leave out. |

There are solid studies showing we do use two parts of the brain separately, to measure (position and light/dark and color) and to lay a sort of judgment on the whole. The trick is to integrate the two. |

(laughing) well we overlapped, but Five's advice is, as always, clear and excellent. |

I'm glad you brought that up mum because I've been wondering the same thing. I greatly admire those creative people on TD that seem to be able to go with the flow of their imaginations and produce such lovely pictures. I seem to be as you say a slave to detail which I think takes a lot of fun out of drawing. I'll be very interested to see what others have to say on this topic. |
