It's funny how we can get caught up in the technical side of art, instead of just letting go and seeing what comes out. I definitely have a pretty loose drawing style, but try to get some technically correct aspects, like proportion, or body position. If I have to work too hard at it, or it doesn't just flow out of my fingertips, then I'm not going to enjoy the process, and if I don't enjoy it, I'm never going to finish it.
I have a huge appreciation for photorealism because I know how much work it takes. But I can definitely see where it could take the joy out of it. And if that's the case, then what's the point? Right?
