Yet in having no name, your bare a soul all your own.
Edit: Oh jeez. I just made this as a gift for someone. Hahah- I went to bed on Christmas eve and then suddenly! BOOM. Tons of favorites. I suppose I better explain more at this point.
I saw this painting last night [link] And got all inspired. It took me about an hour to make this one. After looking back between the two, I actually like mine better, which is rare considering I generally don't like my things ^-^
Hahahah, yeah! I actually saw that last night, and was terrified by the fact that it looked like the person I was thinking about last night. Anyways, proper credits have been given! Thanks for finding this again for me <3
Well again, that's an opinion. Practice is practice and while I agree with you about originality, it's best to learn and practice from things you admire. I guarantee that every artist, including you, has at one point or another attempted to emulate something you saw someone else do.
Hahah- I woke up this morning to 250+ favorites. I wouldn't have been so lazy with my description if I was expecting this. *holds out wrists. Take me to lazy artist jail! Anyways, this was pretty much a practice drawing I was using for hair, and a trinket for a friend. I'm still shocked this is so popular.
