I’m Sorry

so much is happening in this picture

Is it ever okay to redraw someone else’s art as practice? If you do, is it wrong to put it on your wall? And last question, is it okay to try an adopt someone else’s style?

Oh yes yes! of course it’s alright to redraw, it’s regular practice I think :^D masters studies are great for, studying the hmm, the direction, application, weight of brushstrokes on canvas, or pencil shading (hatching, crosshatching, strippling, other fancy terms for scribble-till-vague-shadows-form-to-create-illusion-of-dimension) of artists before you, to determine what you’d like to use in future or or eliminate paths you don’t like

But, I think, and I don’t want to say anything for certain , but I think you should aim to learn and incorporate the art techniques you see in other artists’ works, into your own endlessly-developing style mixture instead of copying the former ‘style’ stroke for stroke aa I’m not sure I’m making sense

I think what I did was I pinpointed the elements of other artworks I enjoyed and experimented by combining them with the style base-structure I already had assembled, perhaps the impasto technique lined up with whatever it was I wanted to express, or maybe blended colours intertwined and subtle was more suitable, or or maybe you’re partial to going dadaist and Marcel Duchamp-ing your work,, the truth is whatever art piece you like, go ahead and try the method you observe for yourself, because, can’t really claim copyright on inspiration amiright (that is if there’s no regurgitation of art by tracing / rebranding it as your own, art theft is :)) : ) inconveniencing ) N-nothing is original in the art community anymore as they say ; w ;

and oh! I found this, from when I repainted Van Gogh’s wheatfield with crows from awful memory, just for fun. It gave me ideas for other paintings I wanted to start on

hmm wait I think I saw something on this a while ago I’ll find it :”D you’ve probably heard this ‘steal like an artist’ mumbo jumbo before, I know I did and it bored me out of my skull but I rather think it mighT be 96% true now hh—

and no it’s not wrong to put on your wall, im sure you’d enjoy it displayed and it shows your appreciation for the original artist, what with ‘imitation being the highest form of appreciation’ it’s what my mum always quotes anyway—

the point is I suppose, don’t let imitation become impersonation, because unless they figure out cloning soon, we’re all separate artists and it’s the deviations between our forms of expression that makes them worthwhile and meaningful :”D
