My Zevism Art Thread

For regular people, not us. I do Nauthiz x10 after every Hatha and Kundalini yoga session for discipline, and I wish I had started doing so when I was at your stage. Being able to establish a foundational form of discipline from the very beginning, is paramount to consistency and rapid progression.

Work on your upper chakras and pineal gland to increase insight and intuition, in order to strengthen the creative and largely feminine aspects of the soul that fuel art. This will also help you in being able to observe and absorb more information from your artistic research, and from references. Throat chakra helps in expressing emotions, and in the context of art helps provide your drawings that sense of serenity and atmosphere from the emotions you wish to convey in them.

Invoke water for creativity. Fire for drive. Earth for more discipline and structure. Air for intellect and effectiveness of study. Quintessence to balance the energies.

Yes, I will have to incorporate more spiritual work in regards of this. I am still doing very basic things each day such as KY/HY, AoP and just opening smaller chakras and astral senses.

As for the elements, I don't want to invoke any as I am still very unbalanced in that area.
I tried Aether to balance it out but didn't felt that different yet so I will still need to work on basic things like foundation meditation, trance and void. I have a been very lazy potato last few years but I finally restarted with my daily meditations and so far it has been going great.

And as for Demons or GD, my astral senses aren't open yet so that will have to wait. I know they can send answers through various signs or posts but I am still not that wary of my souroundings.

Ooooh I cannot wait till you update your thread! It has soooo much useful tips, even though I already understand most of it but I always forget to put it to practice.😬

You did a FANTASTIC job! Now now I think I should get back into drawing pictures and painting ❤

at the moment i'm a bit tired and i'm about to go to sleep so in the future i'll be able to tell you more, but in the meantime i wanted to tell you this

these drawings are actually impressive and your skills can certainly be seen, even more surprising is the fact that they are about "first attempts"

i totally understand your being hard on yourself, believe me, but you really should be kinder to yourself
maybe you'll get there with time, also consider spiritual workings for this
don't even get too carried away in your haste in progress

as for a quick tip, once you have practiced distinct body parts (step 1), try to put them together following a diagram to help the proportions and overall harmony (step 2), this will make everything much simpler, i was taught this in art school

last possibly useful advice
when i post pictures here i use https://postimages.org (without resizing the images or anything like that) and copy-paste the "direct link to forum", try it!

maybe in the future i'll be able to tell you more, in the meantime, continue with your art and posting here! 😃😃😃😃

I don't really understand where does all this own hate about my art come from. I am not trying to be a perfectionist from the beginning and I want to take all the time necessary to develop these skills.
Even after I look at other's art that are complete beginners and then look at my own art, for some reason I always "see" that I draw worse than them. Maybe it's the way I draw and the way I apply the technique, dunno.
But maybe that's the case, where I always compare myself to others. Every time I see others art, I have to analyse it, how they draw, how they apply certain things, what they want to say with the piece etc.
That is also why I cut off all the medias for artists but we know how that went, I already explained.
I don't know what am I doing wrong on this journey, it feels like I'm just stuck on this loophole.

To answer the other thing, yes, I do practice full pieces after some time taken training on individual parts, it's a form for me where I don't get stuck on one thing and always keep it fresh with new challenges.

I never went to art school and the only time I studied art was in elementary school where art was mandatory subject for a couple of years. Wish I could continued from there on but oh well, me whining again about it...
It's another thing that literally glued to me like a parasite.
"Why I never actually decided to go to art school?"
"Why didn't I start with this at younger age?"
Why this, why that...
Throughout all these years of my life I never asked myself these questions, only now until few months back when I decided to pursue art.
And since then it just won't f****** leave me alone
(apologies again for the small rant ).

....

when we develop an emotional bond towards something, as in this case for you, art
it can become an obsession and we are not able to see the picture as a whole and think clearly
this also explains why you didn't have all these thoughts and feelings before you actually applied yourself to it

we also know that "comparison is the thief of joy"
it's easy to end up appreciating other people's work more than ours in these cases, especially if you have a notable attention to details etc as you say, but as you can see this is just a reflection of your own beauty, which in this case you fail to enhance towards yourself
embrace and focus on your own path which is different to that of others
maybe take inspiration, let it motivate you, enjoy the beauty, but don't compare your art to that of others
why even make comparisons?
it's a waste of your uniqueness

lastly, listen to these tips, trust me

don't obsess and don't think about a thousand things at once (i'm sure you know what i mean)
it's not a race, don't rush
proceed slowly, one thing at a time
learn to stay calm and to focus
otherwise you end up ruining a very beautiful route and neglect many other important things!
even if you care a lot about it, remember that it's a part of life, not your whole life
distance yourself for a bit when you see it becoming toxic, do other things and just forget about it

enjoy the process 😃😃😃😃

I took art school back in my days! My grandmother was an artist and she loved to draw pictures and write poetry and my mom she was somebody who loved to paint and do arts and crafts! So I grew up with a couple of artists in my family! And I enjoy and love writing poetry! Painting and doing sketch work! And I enjoy looking at other people's artwork too learning new tricks and new ideas and I enjoy the pleasures of taking classes still at my age! I enjoy looking at the work of other people and it motivates me to continue on!❤
