Art is mostly subjective but like when a critique is brutally honest. When a piece has no redeeming factors you should let the "artist" know. Great video, do more, and don't hold back. If anybody is worthy of roasting art it's you buddy.

[@AnastasiaYGamble]

Hoping you do a part two, I wasn't able to submit anything for this week.

[@dalehallmark9174]

I really like these videos where the artist freely expresses their thoughts. As long as they are not deliberately done for the sake of controversary, they are very educational. Even controversary is fine and may expand a persons viewpoint as long as it is genuine. So, yeah other videos like this would be great. Not as fun as watching you do a successful painting but still very interesting.

[@kikkupop9714]

Nice profile painting

[@4wayStopEnforcement]

If I may, I’d like to build off of what Alpay said about the background being a boring color. In my opinion, there are no “boring” colors…but colors that are over mixed on the palette can look boring and lifeless. The great thing about a rich brown is that it’s made up of so many lovely colors. Perhaps you could try mixing those colors on the canvas instead of on the palette so that you can see hints of the individual colors that make up brown. That tends to create a more dynamic piece because your eye can float around and appreciate all the slight variations. Just my two cents. :)

[@DK-bb1tw]

Lol I thought you said: " Does she have tomatoes coming out of her ass?" Anyway I really found useful the comment about how in some paintings everything looks like it's made of the same material. Never paid attention to that before. Great critique!

[@futurestoryteller]

I really don't see why this is not more noticeable to people. I've even seen extremely talented people transition from traditional to digital and are very satisfied with the "clean" results they were able to get, and I couldn't figure out why they would WANT it to look like that. I've seen some people argue that we've been "conditioned by experience" to believe textured is better, and people are looking down on this "new style" because it's different. But it's not as if people weren't doing clean and simple stuff before, treating it like the end all of a medium seem completely antithetical to creativity, which I assume is why a lot of people, even within the medium, tend to wrestle against it. At least a lot of professionals seem to.

[@DiabolicalAngel]

OMG I did too! LOL!

[@uttamgawade7314]

So this is something new Keep trying, I really appreciate your creativity because everytime we decide to try something different , everyone easily get nervous but I love how you are improving a lot. Just never give up, keep going

[@sharonrejordan]

One of the paintings you roasted by saying lack of nose, lack of mouth, you must clearly define, etc. etc. I absolutely love this painting. I feel something when I look at it. Isn't that what art should be. Technique, rules, etc. are great, but if art always stays within those parameters, how boring would that be. The alien effect of the undefined features gave the painting depth and mystery to me. I suppose these critiques are more for artists and less for those who appreciate art.

[@ziraprod6090]

You are right. He is helping craft not Art.

[@centerededgedesignusa7957]

[@SosiCreatesArt]

I’d say it’s fine for digital art to have bigger signatures especially if it’s stuff like KPOP artist portraits that are definitely gonna be screenshoted and shared by other people in the fandom, they can find the original artist by the signature, plus if it’s mainly gonna be posted on social media like Instagram.. people don’t really go on social media on pc, it’s gonna be viewed on mobile most of the time and a small signature wouldn’t be visible at all, and if it’s screenshoted and posted elsewhere by someone else it’ll be even more blurry and illegible

[@kimartist]

I personally feel like artists can sign however they want - it's their art. I remember smiling when I saw Van Gogh's first name "Vincent" painted on the side of his sunflower vase. Me, I mostly hide my signatures (only 3 letters long, so not too hard to hide), or put it small & low in corners of the painting where it's actually expected to be & thus not very noticeable.

[@futurestoryteller]

People should learn how to zoom in. Honestly if you're just going to deface something you worked so hard on because of the bizarre theoretical cross section between people who can't zoom in to read a signature (if they actually care enough) and the rare soul so much more tech illiterate, or apathetic, than that, that their way of sharing something they like is taking a picture off their phone with another phone - you might as well not even bother making anything. It's like being afraid to step outside because you could get struck by lightning. Even better are the AI tools people have shown off on this site that can erase watermarks, and the like. Think it can't convincingly erase one gaudy signature before Thanos can stap his fingers? You'd honestly be better off just "hiding" your signature in the metadata, if not the work itself. No one checks that crap, and most people will just copy and paste a JPG - like a normal person, instead of using a screengrabber, or taking a picture with a phone of another picture on a phone like a spaz, or whatever weird grandma mode we're talking about. To put it another way: the amount a person cares who made something is not proportional to the size of the signature on it. Particularly if said person already disregards any deserved credit by default. But it's not about them right, it's about the people they are nonchalantly showing your work off to. Again - if they care. Online there are much better tools available for sourcing images than an old fashioned signature. Sometimes if your name is generic or obscure enough someone more visible dominates those search results anyway. You can't hide from the lightning.

I draw since very young and felt a barrier to paint because of material. My first paint was on basic paper and I used white which is a problem with pencil drawing eh en you’re a kid with no notion either material. So I knew that with paint I could and the paint was more than alright (a big old style boat with sails. White not only for it but Also for waves. I discovered warhammer a couple years later and was in admiration afront of (the three big metal models of 2nd-3rd edition tyrannids) being teen still the money barrier.. then slowly started an army and what I can tell you is : GO FOR IT ! The fact that you paint a 3D object is a huge thing. A bit intimidating and hard to approach like were to considere being the point of vue and then put shadows and light and then you realise that it isnt flat and dosent have to be. VERY good exercice and So cool ! Just be carefull to dont fall in love with it .. because it is a bit expensive.. seriously do it ! My only advice would be to learn a bit the bases like doing an undercoat, basecoats, thin your paints. Learning by yourself can be VERY frustrating So watch tutorials to learn fig painting bases. And another advice is to take a unit, like a 10 poxwalker box many models and not all the same like basic Space marines. If you want to paint armor and also have other textures and having different models try plague marines. Btw I had an idea of paint challenge with small palett. And painting 1 fig a day.
