I've been doing some studying, and I saw that artist expressed emotions through art. I always liked to sketch, but I never understood how do you express an emotion in your art. Do you force yourself to feel happy, or sad when drawing something? I'm so intent on the drawing, I never stop to think if I should feel a certain way.

I feel so sluggish for not realizing this. And it's really been disturbing me that I don't share the same views as many people that comment about expressing emotions in any art they do, or surrounding themselves in portraits. I thought I didn't like art a while ago. But I always had to try to sketch or study a bit here and there every now and then.

Jumbled thoughts ;-;

I will try those techniques. Thanks. It sounds like a very cool experiment.

There are no tricks to this, it just happens naturally, your drawing or painting will reflect your mood automatically.

Try this, do a drawing on a sad day and then do a drawing on a happy day.


Then:
1. Note what you did on each day and thus how you can replicate the mood.

2. Get some discipline and give your paintings the mood you want to give them instead of being tied to your feelings of the moment.
