It's funny how my last journal entry mentions I hadn't posted in two years. Well now I haven't posted in three years since my last journal entry.
I'm thinking of becoming more active on deviantart since I've gotten a lot of people asking me if I have one. Not to mention I've become a little bit proud of my latest work. After an almost year long artist block, or what I like to call it: expanding phase, I think I've finally "leveled up" so to speak. I mean, I can still see a lot of imperfections in my work, but now I'm doing things I wasn't able to achieve in the past. So at least I've got that going for me.
I've also been critiquing a lot of artist's artwork lately who are around or below my skill level. I feel like I've got a better understanding of art these days, even though I know I still struggle. I don't know how to explain it exactly, but it's like I see beyond what my hands are physically capable doing. I feel like I'm critiquing myself when I critique other artists.
And now what I really wanted to talk about: commissions. I tried to get attention and do commissions on my tumblr, but it hasn't worked out well. Perhaps doing commissions on deviantart will work better for me. Who knows. I think I might need a better setup with my commission. Also I'm not sure if I should lower my prices? I hear it's not good to lower prices, but I wonder if I priced myself too high for my skill level?
Expect another journal entry soon. Hopefully not four years from now.
