A Journey through all things Artistic
Artwork and story from Moonn
My name is Moonn and I love art with my entire being. Art and my life has been intertwined like pages in a book, taking up so much space that at times it seems that a pencil and a sketch book or a drawing tablet and it digital pen is all I am. But it’s not just drawing that I love, it’s watching people paint, watching people turn clay into vases or stone into delicate flesh like Michael Angelo. It’s losing myself in a magical book, or a beautiful song to shed a few tears too, its the elongated movements of a dancer or someone turning fabric into a dress from fantasy. I love art in all its forms. I want to be a writer, one with beautiful works of art to go with it like “Brom” a favorite author of mine. For the last 6 years I’ve been trying to put myself out there as an artist with little success, trying to work the digital age as a person who just wants to share their art can be frustrating, when it seems your work constantly goes unnoticed. But I can’t help myself but to try, and try and try again. To think that this time will be the time I will shine, that the art I pored hours into will catch the right eyes and then I am own my way to being cared about, adored maybe? I sometime wonder if I will be a Leonardo da Vinci, where I am seen and heard, or if I would be a Van Gogh, only noticed when my life has ended and it doesn’t serve me anymore. Imagine it, floating up in the sky wondering were all that love was when you were there and trying. I don’t want to be a Van Gogh honestly, I do want to be seen, when it’s my time to be seen. Patients is key, thats what I tell myself when I fail at trying. Keep pushing you’ll be seen, you’ll be heard, you’ll be adored.
Art takes up so much space in my life as I have said, that to continue on with my point, failing and going unseen can feel like a knife through the heart. I want to breathe art, let it be my blood. That’s what art is to me, it’s this thing that brings me immense joy and pain all at once sometimes. It’s my reflection, it’s me.
What challenges do I have in art – Not being able to do enough of it, feeling like it’s so much to learn and not enough time to do it. My mind is a sponge willing and ready to soak up as much information as it can, I’m just sad I can’t do it all.
What do I want to learn in art – Everything, but anatomy most, I want to be a master in it, drawing and painting the human body from memory is a goal of mine.
What do I think about Drawing Academy:
It was one of those things that found me, I wasn’t looking and it just pop up, would I sound corny if I said it seems like fate? Maybe…but thats what it felt like, what I’ve seen interested me greatly, the professors seem truly gifted in their crafts and I would be so grateful to learn from them.
What do I want to win the Drawing Academy course – Simply to become more knowledgeable and better at my craft, the value of this curse is nothing to take for granted. I just want to learn more.
