Ryan Jia also draws traditional stuff.
If you're good you can draw something good with a white sheet of paper & a pencil, period.

he sucks balls at traditional. he just tries to apply his ctrl+z culture to real colors and fails miserably. the hair looks like a helmet. colors end up muddy (vomit/shit/pus colors).

he is a puppet who depends on commissions.

yup, that is an actual innitial sketch by RJ.
and pic related is what happens with the design of hair when ctrl+z culture meets real life painting. muddy, vomit-inducing colors all over. it's a "real life" RJ painting.

oil painting on canvas by ruan jia
>learn what? that your trad stuff is not as good as you hoped? i already know that

this is a painting by Ruan Fifa. when he can't have his ctrl + z, he is helpless and completely mediocre. look at the fucking mess of a hair and the brownish, green color mess.

>his work means nothing

To who?

>to the community of "learned academics" who were so easily duped into wasting their breath trying to extrude a philosophical narrative from the work of Pierre the chimpanzee, and the community who couldn't tell the difference between supposed pieces of art and jpeg files literally made in mspaint

Maybe take George Condo's phallic manubrium projections out of your beckoning craw hole for one second. Ruan Jia is among, if not, the most technically proficient artists alive, he would be a fine artist for the ages if he chose to pursue that path.

Ruan Jia did a ton of still lifes, and it shows in his work, as it all looks structural and it has dimension to it. He understands form, he understands light, he understands how different materials interact with light, and he has interesting edge control. Where is all of that in your painting?

>he only looks gud cus of ctrl+z!!
Are you seriously gonna sit there and pretend to be retarded or are you really just retarded? He paints in traditional media too for one and secondly digital isn't some magic wand that miraculously allows a shit artist to look like Michelangelo by throwing time and liquify at their turds or else every digital artist's work would look great when the vast majority in reality look like shit. The technical details of how he works in either medium might be different but his knowledge and approach to things like color, stylizing, rendering and how he wants to make them show through consistently. If you have nothing better than "this medium doesn't work like this medium so you can't learn anything from this artist" and "he's only good because he's cheating with transform tool" you need to sit the fuck down.
