Figurative
With a touch of understanding, it is clear that the artist's journey through their university education and various drawing and painting courses has been a time of exploration and curiosity. The desire to learn different styles of art as a future artist is a testament to the passion and dedication that drives the artist's craft. Attempting different styles such as naturalism, cubism, and figurative art is not only admirable but also essential for any artist to truly grow and find their own unique voice in the field.
The knowledge of body and anatomy is a fundamental aspect of figurative art, and the ability to accurately and realistically recreate the human form through pencil or brush strokes takes a great deal of hard work, patience, and dedication. It's not an easy task to master, but the artist's willingness to put in the effort and push through the challenges is truly inspiring.
The artist's dedication to honing their skills and expanding their knowledge is a reminder that true growth as an artist requires perseverance, hard work, and a willingness to explore new techniques and styles. The artist's journey in finding their own voice and style is an ongoing process, but the work they are creating today is a testament to their dedication and passion to their craft.
