hi everyone!
My name is Adrian, but you can call me Adi.
im 19 and i stink at art! :D
but im not here for no reason. Im here to get better. Im thinking the proverb about lying down with dogs and fleas applies here as well. so if i lay with good artists maybe i can learn from them and get some of the bugs that make them good....that sounds really stupid...
anyway ill be using oil pastels. i was wondering how popular they are on dA.
ive never really liked art because i was never very good at it. im the kind of person who if they dont see results very soon they gave up. but oil pastels are different for me and i dont know why. i just love them. the mess, the colors, the blending! i love blending. maybe too much. because i try and blend everything and i see other oil pastel arts that havent been blended and they look wonderful.

well thats all for now.

Welcome to DA! I've been the same at art through my whole life. It took time and patience for me to get anywhere at all with any drawing I did, and because of that, I thought I was bad at art, and didn't want to put in the time. I then started doing photography (which is much easier), and occasionally attempt drawing one of my photos, but I only ever use pencils. I'm always scared I'll mess it up if I try adding colours. :aww:

hello :D
yea its kinda a problem with that train of thought. and relating to what i said to your comment on chocolate rain, i think photography is hard, but thats just because i dont like the way my pictures come out. im stating the obvious here but hard and easy is simply a persons opinion and im now thinking i should change the way im thinking about my art.

Yeah. I do still think it's easier to get a good photograph than it is to make a good drawing. ^^

Hey man. Pastels are fun, i like using them when i need to apply large ammounts of color quickly to surfaces. Ive done an oil pastel picture i hated it, (was like my 3rd piece i ever made) I didnt hate the oil pastels i hated the end product.

Anyway, welcome to DA
