Why I Create

           Creating is needed in this world, whether its art or creating a new way of thinking. I create art for not only myself but I create art for others so maybe one day they can be inspired to create what they want. I also create art in order to express myself and express how I’m feeling. I don’t usually talk about how I feel a lot but when you look at my art you can have an idea of what’s going on inside of my head.

 

I create art for myself because it gives me comfort and satisfaction. I receive comfort from creating art because it helps me vent and it helps me get everything off of my chest without having to talk to anyone about how I’m feeling in that moment. These feelings don’t have to be sad or angry feelings though, they can also be happy. Art also gives me satisfaction. When it comes to art I'm a perfectionist and will work on something until it fully satisfies me. I love the feeling I get when I create something and feel good about it. I take each art piece that I'm proud of as an accomplishment and it always makes me want to create more. Although I love to create my art for myself I also love to create art for others. many people don’t like to share their art but I seem to be the opposite way. I love sharing my art with others because it could possibly inspire them to create art. I believe art can help people in many ways since it has helped me through good times and bad times. I think that if art can help me through my life that it can help others and if I can introduce people to it that would bring me a lot of happiness. Art and creation is very special, its something that can communicate with people in several ways and that’s the beauty of it. I love making any form of art that’s digital and has to deal with photoshop. Changing photos to send a completely different message is very interesting to me and I think it helps me relieve a lot of stress. In photoshop I can make whatever I’m picturing in my head and its very satisfying. Much of my art consists of photo collage and painting. I often like to combine the two in order to make something that really applies to my mood. Other then photoshop I love to work with fine tip ink pens. I enjoy making gritty looking images using cross hatching shading 

 

 because I can use improvisation a lot in my art. I'm not exploring a new form of art which is animation. Animation is everything that I’ve wanted because I can now make my art come to life. I never expected to like animation because I felt it would be very time consuming but I was very wrong. Although it is very time consuming it is something that really pays off in the end and brings you a huge sense of accomplishment.

I truly love creating whether it's for someone who needs cover art or if its for myself personally. Creating can express who you really are and bring out the emotion that you feel inside.
