Are You Artistic?

I suppose so, I like to create things Ive made a few fancy birthday cakes.
Ive written two books and some short stories. Ive sold some photos and my dogs have their own FB page where we keep a photo diary of their walks and they have fans/friends from all over the world.

I'm... partially artistic? I have quite a good imagination but my artistic and designing skills are severely lacking... I'm taking my art education a bit more seriously now in my free time and we'll see where that takes me. I've learnt foreign languages before and even got better at playing the piano after a few months of practice but I'm having a tough time visualizing myself with better drawing skills. The great thing about being a beginner at something though, is how quickly you improve at the start if you put work into it. Later on you have to put hundreds and hundreds of hours before you see minimal progress, put a hundred hours into something when you're a beginner and your skills and knowledge skyrocket.

Not really

Thumbs up to all you artists.

I used to resent my utter lack, but I got used to it, and we can't have everything.

Yes, an artist is somewhere in me.. they are in hiding now. I've done paintings, drawings, digital art, photography, and poetry. One of my poems was technically in a book, but it was one of those poetry books that anyone can get into for free lol not because I'm special.

I have not created anything in many years, but usually I only felt the urge when I was having the most inner turmoil, and it was my way of releasing it, so maybe it's a good thing. I also hardly take any pictures anymore other than on my phone, but the quality is not quite as good... I mostly take photos of plants and the sky.

Sounds wonderful, would love to see your works if you have any photo.

I do a few paintings. Mostly acrylic but I have recently completed a few oils. I find that oil painting is satisfying but takes so long with the long drying time. I know that there are faster drying oils but a large amount of those I have I got in a charity shop at a cat's home, of all places. Looking at the oil's I see similar results to my acrylics so that is probably down to style and, if so, I may as well stick with acrylics as they are quicker. I used to do quite a bit of drawing, having lessons then our art group after the lessons finished but the art group has not met since the middle of last year so none recently. I do have watercolours but use them less. My avatar is an example of my work.

I think we are all artistick in one way or another. It's often just finding out what our way is. Some people are brilliant at digital art but would find traditional methods slow and boring. Others make art and never realise it.

Yes I will in the next day or so

I like them all.

All old fake floral designs, canvas artwork and modge podge are gone post bad move like two years ago.  I can photo out of my old sketchbooks?
