>The whole point of the painting being so shiny and saturated is because the chick is supposed to be some hot head god of fire shit (hint: fire is bright). I am not a saki fan but you literally just destroyed the painting by removing a large chunk of the personality and story it is trying to convey. Now it looks like a half-completed ass smudge, and here you chimps are jumping up and down in glee because you think you just schooled a pro.

Pic related is how a competent artist can include fire all over the place without causing epileptic seizures in people. That's because when you start a painting you have to make some choices. If you want to make fire one of the main elements of the painting, you have your own light source and you don't need to include some sunlight over it. Sakimichan didn't even make fire a light source, she just painted it over the rest without making interact with anything.

Also, I never claimed to make a better painting, I claimed to remove all of the visual mess and see what's underneath, just because I thought it might be interesting. What was interesting, as stated previously, is that there isn't much left behind it. Sakimichan obviously does this intentionally, but it doesn't change the fact that her art is a visual mess.

But really, if you were a competent artist the problem with that fire would have jumped you right in the face from the moment you laid your eyes on her painting, just like those pure white spots that draw attention all over the place. I bet you're one of those guys who tells you to "make a better one then" if you dare say anything bad about anything.

He's leagues above anyone else. His attention to detail is insane and his art style is masterful.

I wouldn't hesitate to put him on the same level as Michelangelo and Da Vinci.

I want to learn to draw. How much will it take to be able to do pic rel? 5 years?
