Aspies For Freedom

Wow! They're absolutely beautiful! You're a great artist, I really wish I could draw like that! Just... Wow!

wow!! cool!

They're really incredible!

Fantastic.  People thought I drew good monsters when I was a kid but really I was just tracing from a coloring book and failing to mention that LOL.  Other artists like Davinci studied anatomy of what was under the skin which made them better painters.  What an interesting method you have.  Do you draw other things?

Did you have any previous classes/training in art that might have developed your ability here?

It seems you'd have to know something about anatomy, or at least how to "layer" a figure to get it rendered properly, to do this.  I'm guessing most people would not be able to draw like this without significant practice or study.

I double that!

FANTASTIC!!!

THEY ARE AWESOME!

those pictures are very nice , good job

Nice!

Very Creative. It reminds me of the world of Brian Froud alittle bit.

Well then in this case I must express jealousy... I am an aspiring artist and, basically, when it comes to spatial modeling of figures (that is realistic rendering anatomically) I am COMPLETELY lost.  It's a very foreign kind of skill, to me.

I wonder if this ties in with spatial learning disability... for example, I do not have awareness of where I am in space.  Just today I tried to imagine, if I had to give someone directions, how many blocks a certain store would be from my current location.  This after living in this small town for 26 years.  Mentally, the best answer I could come up with was "just a short while down the road."  I could not grasp the idea of space, basically.  (and never have been able to.)

I was being taught perspective in 11th grade Art Class and watching all the other students progress along with the teacher, and I was struggling to keep the lines from looking curvy on the paper...

The question I ask myself is, if you lack any kind of spatial awareness, can you gain it?  I don't think I can.. because it's a learning disability area for me.  How can I get around it, may be a better question.

Either way, I'm very impressed with your drawings, and wish I had your "guesswork" ability to layer figures.  I just don't have the patience.

nyanchan - those are very impressive. Looks like a lot of effort has gone into the anatomy. Do your creatures have a world?

I would like your thoughts on my spatial learning impairment, how I can get around it to draw like you.. and so on.  You're the one with the academic background, perhaps you'd have pointers for me...
