The Artist Diary - Kayze Abbas (Kreative Delight)

You guess have always seen our finished pieces and we put out our best work. We rarely show behind the scenes but the reality is I know most of us have our awful pieces that we don't want to showoff. When we show being the scenes we show us working on one piece, however that is never the case (well at least with me). So I decided to show you a few of my incomplete pieces. I know I am some one who has multiple drawings going on at the same time and I may not even finish them for months or years. It always depends on my mood. I always have several sketchbooks going on at the same time and I usually play with different mediums (markers, pens, ink, pencils, paint etc.).  I get bored really easily of my work and what I am doing, so I just leave it until I get back in mood. Sometimes I never go back. However I never rip a page out of my sketchbook, no matter how horrible I drew because that shows me that I need to practice more. Truth is that there are days that I even have problem drawing an simple stick figure. I never took any serious art classes so I never learned to put my unique ideas on paper. I try my best to create images instead of sketches. Most to my sketch end up being a perfect image, which defects the purpose of sketching. I try to finishing a drawing in one day and I never make drafts. I know the importance of drafting but I never seem to want to draw the same image again. Like I said I lose interest fairly quickly. This is part of the reason I chose to keep this profession as my hobby. I can redraw multiple times when I am creating Digital work. I love drafting and revisiting than but not my traditional work!

It frustrates me that I can't draw what I am imagining and the biggest reason for that is that I imagine a drawing in 3D or perspective view and my imagination and ideas in my brain are fairly complex and has a lot of detailing. I plan to take classes to polish my skills one day but never seem to get a chance. I dislike making portraits, hands basically humans (minus Heart, Brain, Stomach and Fetus (not weird at all...)), I find it fairly boring. I love make nature related work or unique surreal environments or just doodling.

Every artist has a different style, I always get told that I am doing a lot of things 'wrong' (see if I care) and I should draft, sketch, practice more. I guess this is my unique style. In fact I feel stupid when I call myself an artist. I am creative yes! who can draw but I don't think I will be a true artist until I can fully deliver what's in my vision on a paper. A lot of self-claimed artists (whom I don't consider artists) these days have become so materialistic, as well as produce common art and have a diva attitude about it because they are bigger in their brains which is so unnecessary. That's why I don't like calling myself an artist, I want someone to give me that title if they find my work original and not too common. And yes! I do also draw according to what's trending sometimes as well because its fun and inspirational but calling it you original raw idea just because you added a few different aspect is just wrong. I think the original artist(big or small) who inspired you should be given a shout out at the least! Okay Rant Over! :P
