Hey!
My last update was 11 August 2013, last year already! Hard to believe over a year has passed! A lot of my friends from various art sites have disappeared or are no longer updating their galleries. I guess people change, move onto other things or no longer have time for art.
Since my last update, I feel way more confident when approaching new work and my process in general. My drawing always needs more work but I have been making progress on it!
Another change that's happened is that I feel much more motivated to draw now than when I actually worked in the art industry. I guess this means that I do not really fit well with doing art for a living, and rather I should make art for the main reason I got into art in the first place, and that's to have fun with my work and to express myself!
Therefore, one major change to happen is that I will only take on commissions that fit the style and mood of my work. I will return the points to people who I haven't finished yet, but will keep the commissions which match my work better. I hope that is ok! I will send you a note if you had a commission with me, not to worry!
So that's my new direction and I will continue to post up my work I thank everyone who supports my work! I also have a sketchbook on Tumblr - Art of Kungfoowiz if you want to take a quick look at what I am up to!
I thank my girlfriend who has supported and pushed me constantly this year to improve my drawing! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Cheers for now!

New Year 2022 Resolution
Hey Guys, Welcome to the New Year, it's 2022, some of you may be full of energy (like me) but you may also be not so inspired. What I did over the Christmas break was to re-energise my body, this involved not actually doing anything too taxing, I played the odd video game, did some yoga, travelled around our area to see some new things, which then re-awakened my mind and relaxed me. This enabled me to think in the past few days what I wanted to do to improve my art and after a bit of looking on YouTube I got some inspiration. I wanted to share with you what I learn on here so you can also learn or if you're just curious what I do. By the end of the year, I want to see some key improvements in my art. I haven't pulled this plan out my ass, the main areas to improve I've stolen from Marc Brunet. If you don't want to watch the whole video, he identified these key things: construction perspective gesture anatomy colour + light composition design So the first area I'm focusing on
Reality
I haven't written in here for what seems like years, as I'm not sure if anyone ever reads them anymore... Deviant Art feels like a haunted school these days, but what to do, there isn't anything better, so I'm stuck here in a weird kind of limbo. Fortunately, I haven't started talking to myself. What I have noticed though, I don't know if it's the virus that's been going around, but I've stopped dreaming... I literally am going to sleep every night and there are no dreams coming to me and none that I can ever remember. It is like as if something has switched off in my head and it kinda feels a bit unsettling. I haven't been able to explain why, but it does bother me, because I'm beginning to forget perhaps how to dream if there is such a thing to happen to someone. Maybe in future, I will completely forget what dreaming is? I will surely need to read this journal back, in order to remind myself about dreaming. Anyhoo, I'm still drawing in my sketch book every day, mostly faces
Hands are hard to draw
I think this year was about composition for me. I put more than one thing in the painting. I spent time looking at the trees to get some inspiration. I would like to think I've found some entrances to creativity. Next year I'm going to get better at hands, I've been hopeless drawing them this year and now it's getting serious. It's winter here and I'm exploring things related to coldness. Cold can be perceived as harsh. While cold allows us to experience warmth. Too much cold or warmth is harsh. When warm and cold are balanced, there is harmony. Harmony can be found in the balance. Light against dark, bitter tempered by sweet, and loud with soft. I must remember this. Have a good time in 2021. =)
Free Commissions
UPDATE - Free Commissions are now CLOSED. I so don't know how to use Deviant Art anymore, it's so damn confusing! It's almost as bad as Facebook and I hate that with a passion! Guys, I had commissions open many many many years ago but I don't know how to even access or open then up again. Does anyone know? Do you need premium for it now I guess? Anyway, there were some commissions I didn't finish but it's been so long I can't find the people who asked for them. You are welcome to send me a note and I will complete it for you ASAP =) So, what I am proposing is introducing FREE commissions. No money needed. Due to what's happening in the world I thought it would be a nice gesture. I am happy to try any style but have a look through my gallery first if there's anything that you particularly like. https://www.deviantart.com/kungfoowiz/gallery Cheers
