Unemployed Artist Paints Over Student's Artwork

[@stclandestine]

Oh hey! Its Lois here~ thank you so much for the critique, it definitely lit a fire in me for this piece. Its so satisfying to get a thorough critique not only verbally but also visually. Ah! Im just so grateful and jazzed. Thank you boro, youre sagely advice is not taken for granted.

My exact thoughts

[@completelydifferentm4473]

I love it when random artists pop up in my recommended, they are always interesting

[@felipewerner6670]

the water will reduce the contrast and the shadows will be really saturated, the light will difuse and everything will have a strong gamma based on the tone of the water, edges will be very soft...extreme soft

[@MistaMishMash]

Ah, I so enjoyed watching this. c: I really appreciate how you explain, via physics, how a lot of your painting techniques work. ie, how skin is matte when it's underwater but metal still shines; and then you paint it that way, it makes sense and looks fantastic! It helps me with art, but also helps me appreciate what I'm seeing day-to-day as well. Thank you for the video, and I hope your break was/is good! c:

[@raiivenwastaken]

Wow you really added the piece so much depth- The original was stunning as it was, but dang your additions really made it look amazing. And the under-water feel was well-drawn. :0

[@jaediety]

I love your overpaint, and I think overall it's an improvement, but I also think that in your attempt to fix the symmetry in the face, you also erased the style. Personally I really liked that the eyes were angled down, It made her prettier imo

[@atlas-ck5bp]

TRUE loved every change except for the eyes

[@miles4939]

absolutely this, i loved the original face but with all due respects to borodante i just think the repaint one looks... bad?? i don't wanna come off as rude but i feel like it needs to be said, just bc he's like the youtube artist doesn't mean he's perfect, yk?

[@Klidi1]

by fixing the symmetry of the face he didn't erase the style, he just made it correct

[@jaediety]

@@Klidi1 sometimes "correct" doesn't look better. That's the point of art, to make something that is appealing to look at. If all art was photo realistic, it would be boring. The originals eyes added to the piece in a way that can't really be done if it's "correct"

[@jaediety]

@@miles4939 I totally agree! Art is subjective. I love Boro's art, and I admire him EMMENSLY, but I've definitely disliked a couple of his paintings too.

[@edakirah]

this is great, the end piece looks insane. i love the red sky its also kinda discouraging considering the original piece also looked so good

[@amynhotep7651]

Don't be discouraged, it just means that everyone has room to improve! Think about it this way: Even the people you look up to aren't perfect, so you don't have to worry about being perfect yourself.

[@ArchyAJLS]

Hey, great fix. There's a couple of things I'd like to suggest though, for underwater scenes in general: The oils on our skin have a little bit of a hydrophobic effect, so we see a bit of a sparkle on the skin, often around the edges. It's not specular highlights, but rather a very thin film of sparkle, almost like a very weak fresnel. Water caustics make a massive difference. For one the IOR of water is different from air, so it breaks and reflects light differently, and two, light that breaks through the water surface usually does so in a wavy pattern. The direct light wouldn't just diffusely fall on top of her, it would follow a water caustic pattern. The water-level would show parts of her in a reflective manner, almost like a wavy mirror. it's quite an interesting effect. I think those caustics and reflections could also be more apparent in the reflection of the mirror, especially since the mirror would also reflect the water surface, not just the volume absorption / fog. Lastly some bubbles never hurt to emphasize that it's a fluid we're in. Still, I think your fix made a big difference compared to the original.

I hadn’t watched one of your video’s in ages because I’d lost the motivation to drew. I recently got it back and thought I’d search KZbin for your channel again and luckily it was the same time you decided to make a new video. I’m pleased with this synchronicity.

[@intheraeyne]

Wow, you grew so much! Admittedly I haven't followed your channel in some time. I think the last time I was here, you were at 19-25k. So glad to see the growth.

[@gingergoose2319]

You made a beautiful piece of art even better. Incredible. This is the first video I’ve seen of yours, excited to watch more.

[@yurista_art]

This is something i have trouble with too... I progress a lot then get lost Any tips that i can take so that i don't get scared of my own artwork?

[@occasionalart]

I have two tips, either look up references of how you want it to look, or just trying a bunch of different thing and kinda, forcing yourself, I guess, to continue.

[@W711-t7x]

It's weird but I'm the exact opposite. I'm not that experienced in painting but never had this - 'what to do next' or 'how to finish', add more depth / detail problem from the start. But that is perhaps similarly like Boro I too come from a 3d background and used to be a 'professional' 3d artist before I started getting into painting. By professional I mean I was making money with it for a while... 3d gave me a huge insight into how things like light, material and perspective work in the real world. As somebody that is probably way worse at painting than you assuming that you come from traditional art's background, but has never had the 'adding detail'/ depth to a painting problem due to my insight... I would advise you to do more studies. Specifically conserning these subjects. Like light properties, material, various optics phenomenon like Fresnel IOR, subsurface scattering, volumetric lighting etc... I remember my first fully detailed painting, it was a concept of a submarine of sorts and It was underwater. I was struggling to figure out how to shade metal parts of it and realised that light from sky scatters in water would be a different color and intensity so the reflections would look differently... I immediately stopped with the painting and went on to do a study. First I learned to paint steel and then just added a more blue grayish light opposed to direct sunlight and lowered the intensity. After the study I immediately went back to detailing and shading the sub and problem was solved. You see what I mean? Studying these various little aspects give a huge insight...

[@yurista_art]

I see that you have all come up with solutions and pretty good ones to be honest, in fact I've been doing them all this time but the problem is neither values, proportions anatomy or lighting, in my mind i can clearly see what i want to paint and how to paint it, and i start it perfectly but in the midway i feel like It's such a drag and that's when i lose my vision and start making bad color choices that makes my painting look outlandish and kind of like... In a traditional way of speaking "oops I've mixed colors a bit too much now it's getting muddy"

[@yurista_art]

Before i didn't have this problem, when i started out I'd make any painting look naturalistic and subtle but now it's a mess, as if I'm missing the very thing that drives me

[@yurista_art]

Plus i don't have a pc anymore so I'm forced to just use a painting app and don't get to play around with applications like maya or z brush to find inspiration like i did naturally before

he kept all eliments and made it better, as an artist myself id love a teacher like you. most teachers I had would highkey draw on them without my permission changing my whole artstyle bc it wasn´t to their liking. they didn´t really think about improving on my side, I mean. and I think if you would have been my teacher I´d trust you more with it then my real art teachers no matter how messy it is at least you can stil see the person that made it actually created the concept and the art. you even considered the foggy light they made- like my art teachers could not relate even close to that....

It boggles my mind how some artists are forgetting nature. If you're struggling in capturing something that looks "realistic", then observe nature just like the great masters of the past did. In this case, there are tons of real life images that demonstrates a human head semi-submerged in water. Mind you, I'm not saying to copy but OBSERVE and learn how water reflections, atmosphere, lighting, etc., works in real life. If you are really passionate, go to the beach with a friend and both go into the water and observe your friend's head underwater and whatnot. Anyways, I'm glad there are artists like Boro who are here to save the day. ^^ But seriously, as a professional artist myself, I can't stress enough how important it is too learn from nature even if you're creating fantasy stuff.

Hello, Boro. You are one of my favorite youtubers. i'm always so excited when i get a notification that Boro Drawing uploaded a new video. But i guess recently you'w been in that place where all artists end up sooner or later. The state of mind where you can't pull yourself to make any new art. I mean we all been there. If that is the case may i suggest a book. The War of Art by Steven Pressfield. It's kind of cliche, but it always puts me back on track and it might help you. And it's really short the audiobook is just 2h 30m. Thought I would suggest it because I would really like to see more of your videos. Hang in there Boro. (sori for bed speling)
