dividedbyblueThree weeks for Dreamwidth: Do you draw original art, fan art, or both?
I draw both. I go through periods where I mostly draw original art (pen drawings and acrylic paintings), but for the past few months, I’ve mostly made fan art. These are pencil drawings of my current favorite lesbian ship, Mafin (Sueños De Libertad).
In many ways, this fan art has had a positive effect on my artistic practice as a whole. I felt that I didn’t feel much connection anymore with my original art, and making fan drawings of a couple I love so much has helped me reconnect with my artistic work. It also let me explore a medium (pencil drawings) that I’ve abandoned since my youth and rediscover it again.
I’ve been thinking of expanding it and maybe starting to make acrylic fan art paintings. I want to explore mediums in fan art that I usually only use for original art, but now try to use them in another way. This should be a fun experience.
