Shading is more like copying. And certainly I do copy, but I'm making drawings, and I'm not trying to make them with the shading.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't work from drawings. I don't make sketches and drawings and color sketches into a final painting.
Every time I copy something, I can draw it for the rest of my life. But research is so painful - I mean just opening up a magazine looking for a picture of a car or looking out the window looking for a car is just hard!
Make-up is all about shading; it's about tactical application.
I use printers to make prints of the images that I am creating. And I try to have that surface kind of replicated in the painting.
I prefer drawing the things I've written to handing them off to another artist. Turns out I'm a huge control freak - and because I write in thumbnails, the art is already happening by the time I start writing!
I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.
One of the reasons why you like to do your own drawings is, your style changes over time. And there's something about that that keeps it fresh to the viewer.
You can't really copy what I do because I don't do anything.
I've never really tried to copy anyone; I like to have my own style.
It doesn't use shading, but it does use stroke length variations.
