Well, Socrates is my favorite philosopher. I uploaded some articles featuring him in the past and I even drew him in cartoon version. One of them is this one.
This pencil drawing below was published as the editorial picture for the article.
Cc. @wakeupkitty, @joslud, can something like this go to ᴀʀᴛ & ᴀʀᴛɪꜱᴛꜱ?
And yes, I love space exploration, and I drew many related images, and you see in this picture I combined the two things I love: Socrates and space exploration.
In the bottom part of the article you will find the creative process of how I created the image.
So many stories that I love about Socrates, amongst them is when his wife cried at the night before Socrates last morning and shout that what happen to him is not justice, and then the philosopher replied, "Do you really want justice?"
Hi, dear friend.
You have already asked that question on another occasion. 🤔 I don't know if my last answer was clear to you.
Do you consider yourself an artist, are you an amateur?
The best I can do is to return the question to you about your creation:
What leads you to think that your drawing might not be accepted in ᴀʀᴛ & ᴀʀᴛɪꜱᴛꜱ ?
Reflect and decide the next step.
Today, I tell you that when it comes to art, the opinion of others is not so important. What matters more is how you receive the answers, whether they are positive or closer to criticism. 😉
If you ask me, as you describe your piece, it is an illustration intended to accompany and complement a text. That, my dear friend, is visual art.

Well, I wouldn't say that he is my favorite. But, he is a great read. I think all can agree on that at least =D.
I didn't know about the story with his wife though.
No problem, taste is not something to compromise on. 😃 Tell me who is your favorite one. And what makes it.
I read the story with his wife in a book. I have several books in the philosopher series from a publisher. I love philosophy books, although I sometimes find them dizzying, especially when they are translated by less reputable publishers.
My favorite is Dostoevsky. He's more into literature. I can see that you like philosophy.
Yeah, the original text is always better. But, sometimes you have to go to translated versions. Translators are often called second authors and I guess that is a correct statement.

Maybe if I had read more about Dostoevsky, I might favor him too. Thanks for sharing, @ronnie10.
You will find novels for him. Not philosophy books. But, I think you will enjoy it. Especially if you are into novels too. A lot of people suggest to start with a novel called "White Nights".
Sure anytime =D
