If it's not an issue with technique, placement, saturation etc. I don't want to hear it, the gender of the canvas shouldn't matter in that way.

[@niesson9456]

my first ever class my first course of fine arts in uni, they asked me what I thought about art... I basically said we aren't perfectly symmetrical, and things don't always look "perfect" but we do our best to make it look that way (not what I believe, depends on subject and etc) but I thought that's what the whole art industry these days expect us to do. And the prof asked me how I knew stuff like that, I said it was just a guess. Pretty much like that. YOu have to make it look pleasingly symmetrical.

[@kexuis7954]

in my 3D modeling class we were taught that sculpting both sides of a face to be exactly the same makes it look uncanny. at the most, both sides can be very symmetrical but shouldn’t be an exact copy of each other (unless the artist aims to make their character more stylized). idk what that judge was on.
