Psykan's artsy stuffs

That drawing reminds me of [url=https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/39856/dixit]Dixit art[/b]. I love the abstract because of that game.

Might need to edit that URL tag, hahah. I'd never heard of Dixit before, honestly.

Hmm, I'm not quite sure why, but at first thought your drawing reminds me on the surrealistic paintings Salvador Dali created. Which is good, because I like them. Nice work! And I especially enjoy that view down the valley on the fourth picture.

Thanks, Phantom!

For that abstract piece (and every other work I did), I only used 0.5mm and 0.7mm mechanical pencils, a click-stick eraser, and a paper towel for smudging and some other effects. I never cared for the idea of having a whole art studio's worth of supplies, and I honestly love taken a resourceful, minimal approach to everything. It's kinda cool to see just how far one can go with very little.

There's an awesome nature trail near where I live, and that's where I took that valley photo. There's also a park close by where I took the frozen pond photo. I did take photography courses back in 2011 or so, but auto-didacticism was always the best way for me to learn how to take good photos with my phone's camera (more resourcefulness, haha). I recently learned that the phone I bought here, a Huawei P10, has a "pro camera" mode, where you can fiddle with the aperture and ISO settings, along with lots of other things. I bought the phone mainly because it's really good for photos--it actually has two cameras that are used when taking a photo; one is for light-and-dark contrast and the other is for the color and details. The two cameras working in tandem make for some really good-quality photos considering it's a phone. Being able to take good photos in the moment is something I value a lot. Great for memories and sharing around, haha.

There are many different kinds of crafts, and floral art is a multi-faceted art form as well. I'm sure I could find more than one way to make them go together, and that in particular will be good for conveying messages regarding the necessity of a connection with nature and the planet. We'll see what happens!
