/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Hello Chunbum, I am going to give you some advice - you can discard if you want, but we all want to improve, so take it as honest and well meant.

You seem to use alot of time on your portraits and a heavy layer of overpaint. Be careful because they might seem stiff and constrained.
I like your usage of colour, but you need to think about the dynamics, to help you create deepth more easily.
You definately have talent but you need to refine your technique.

Portraits doesn't nescesarily need to be realistic - your cubistic nudes are better because you seem to have more control over your medium and technique.

Realistic portraiture is very difficult to master and require a lot of schooling. (All the realistic painters i know have spent a lot of money on tutoring and are hard workers)
But this technique doesn't have to be better than expressionism - like the Matisse Portrait. Look how easily he captures the spirit of his sitter and the way he uses colour.

Do you use Golden too?
