Ruan does oil painting too, but it's probably less than 1% of his output these days.

How do you expect to be better than an artist in any medium of choice if you are not better on a fundamental level? Literally the only thing you will have going for you is the fact that the superior artist is inexperienced in the unfamiliar medium. Just how long do you think that unfamiliarity will last if even someone like you could get used to your medium of choice?

I honestly find the frail little ego of tradfag elitists a very precious sight. All your self-worth and pride is based on the perceived difficulty of your medium of choice, yet you have zero pride in your actual work.

Ruanjia is a 100 times better oil painter than you will ever be and every single drawing I've seen of yours was way worse than what we've seen in his sketchbook.

I would guess he does (or at least used to do) a lot more oils and traditional stuff than he's showing. I remember in some interview he said that practicing traditional art is very imortant in getting better, meaning you shouldn't rely on digital shortcuts too much. Seems like an obvious advice, but it feels legit after seeing his earlier works >>2637795 >>2637796 >>2637797 which are crap and looking digital as fuck.
