Description I was inspired by this artworkΒ www.deviantart.com/art/Worksho…
This artist demonstrated how to focus your eyes to see things, and objects instead of rejecting it, and apply that knowledge to your artwork.Not to copy a beautiful model, but to make your own unique model. This opened my eyes to so many possiblities, looking forward to doing more. You guys should try it too!It awed me that there is beauty in everything, you just have to look closely ^u^

I'm sorry but this is just too funny! But yes, I do this too. It's like movies. Some are BASED on true events, but they aren't actually entirely focused on it. Just keeping some key details can make a picture look similar yet entirely something new and different. I like this example.
