This sounds like a good artistic exercise, finding works of an artist you admire and doing response pieces. Not trying to mimic them exactly, but turning their work into your own. I think it can really help strengthen someones style.
That’s what we do a lot of the time in art class, make responses to other artists we like and study their work and examine / analyse their style and look at develop concepts. We then use that knowledge to create final pieces. I’ve done a few other artists on dA like Stefan Thmopson (a few times)
It does help. Through doing these responses in particular I learnt to work with more muted colours and really understand the anatomical differences between
different breeds of canine. I heard someone once call the way most people draw dogs on dA and fa as ‘cookie cutter dogs’ because all the species looks the same, which I thought
was probably the right word to use, aha. After that I really wanted to look into observing properly from real life rather than through other artists. CoyoteMange observes everything very well from life and uses it.
I really must try making responses to artists. Its a phenomenal exercise. Thanks for explaining what you've gotten out of it and sharing some artists : )
Your work has been so massively inspiring. Thank you.
I was gonna show you on Skype before I uploaded them, but I saw you weren’t on.
I hope you’re ok I uploaded these. I’m still gonna draw Kes for you after I’ve got my folio together. <3
