I really think there's a big difference between art that you create intuitively out of pure emotion on an extremely bad or good day and art that you create on a rather standard day with a lot of caution and accuracy. Although the latter can be a very good artwork the former will always be stronger, more intense, honest and thus the "better" work of art. I had a really bad day whilst creating following drawing and I think the raw aggression and disturbance I put into it is noticeable in the first second. In my opinion it's one of my most intense, and honest works, it screams directly into the observer's face and lets him think about the background and artist behind it. For me this is also a main criteria for art –> art is art when you get interested in the backstory, the creator and thoughts behind the artwork through the artwork. Up to date it's my favorite drawing.

Certainly, one's emotional state influences the art produced. Many times you see artists that are plagued by their demons and misfortunes, producing haunting works; the Myth of the Tortured Artist is certainly something that applies in many cases.
Your piece here is very powerful, emitting feelings of mental stress and confusion. It is great! Your previous posts are also very interesting, followed to see more of your work.
Hey there, thanks for your interesting comment and the follow. What I like about drawing is that it is often very direct and intuitive, where painting mostly needs more caution and time (at least in my case).
i feel you and i follow you.
