The process:

a chosen tool is just a choice of a render technique and the idea is what really matters. Later the experience too. At least that's how it works for me.

There are traps:

First, the process is addictive - that might be not always a positive thing in life, not all the time. It becomes a pressure of a simple habit.

Second, frustration and failure are part of the process. Even though giving up is a kind of banal and shameful move, The Great Inevitable Tiredness of Everything can be a powerful enemy, against whom, eventually, most of us lose.

I guess I still paint for the effect, not for "the process".

I don’t want to show clear emotions. I’m trying to leave the emotional perception on the viewer’s mood.
