I don't see this as a problem. What it means is that you're both perceptive and balanced rather than a "crazy" artist.Originally posted by Evo My problem is that I have zero creativity, so I never considered myself an artist as much as a human xerox machine. My drawings look like photographs. I have always been able to draw exact duplicates of anything I see, but I can't invision things.
The hours of adding tiny parts one by one build up into a sudden realization of the whole that doesn't seem like something you could have deliberately accomplished, yes.It's odd, but after I would do a drawing, I could not believe that I did it. Does anyone else feel that way?
Thankfully the stuff you sold all probably still exists in good shape and is well displayed for people to enjoy somewhere. I take pictures of all the stuff I think is worth keeping a record of. Then if anything happens the piece still exists in photographic form, at least. I've never had the kind of disaster you had but twice I had plaster sculptures submitted to competitions dropped and smashed by the set up people.Shortly after I moved into this house, all of my artwork had been temporarily stored in the basement & it flooded, destroying all but a few pieces. That part of me died that day. I haven't returned to drawing since. Maybe some day.
