Hard Work

I've always been envious of artists, I always was jealous of how in only a few hours they could create something so wonderful and their talent was there for all to see. I always thought artists got the best of both worlds, they could tell stories so easily by just drawing them but actually... it's quite hard work!

Looking at this I see that art is just as hard as writing, it takes an large amount of research just like writing and takes several years to get good at just like writing, also one has to continually try things out before hand to see what is good. Just like a scene, the piece of art must be built over time and the greater your skill the more beautiful the scene/piece. Truly also in both, the more detail the more beautiful :D.
