I choose a picture of a famous person that I want to draw. I start drawing on paper and I feel like I am getting all the details right, I am really confident with my progress. Then I stand up at and look at my drawing from 1 meter away and it turns out to look completely different than what the photograph depicts. I sit down again and correct all my mistakes.. 'Now it HAS to look right.' I stand up again and it still looks kinda off. Then I sit down again and try to correct my mistakes again but its getting harder and harder to erase them and the paper is slowly being damaged.. I give up. _'I mean.. it doesn´t look too bad like this.. _
One thing I loooove about Digital Art is I CAN MAKE AS MANY MISTAKES AS I WANT, i can ALWAYS change them! And hell I love making mistakes and learning from them. There isn´t a better teacher than failure and experience. I have learned so much through drawing and painting digitally, you have no idea. I have so much love for digital paintings it´s hard to describe it. You can use SO many colors, techniques and experiment over and over again. Some of the most fantastic and jawdropping artpieces I have seen in my life are painted digitally.
Even though I am more interested in creative and imaginative art, I practise and do realism more. I started in 2014 out of curiosity and painted Chloe Grace Moretz with Photoshop CS (with my mouse). //Picture is below
I never thought I would have so much fun painting digitally especially with the mouse but I do!
The key to drawing as realistic as possible is to put as many hours as possible into it. The following painting took probably about ... hm more than 40 hours? I started in summer 2015 and finished it one year later.

The process:
It was exhausting and tiring and frustrating at times, but it was all worth it.
I´m proud of my progress and I´m excited for what the future holds for me!
