/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

this is the most nothing painting I've seen in quite some time.
I bet you go to an art school, don't you

>>2389084
Don't be a dick. But you may like to mix some colors, especially for the sky.
To show you I am a hypocrite here is my painting (acrilic on cardboard) w/ a mono cramatic sky. I already posted it but I like to support traditional art threads .

>>2389084
nah i'm a law student and to manage the stress i've been teaching myself to paint in my (limited) spare time, for about 8ish months now

>>2389084
thanks, in my mind there was going to be more covering up the sky but all the trees were dead near me (thanks, winter) so i just kinda went with it.

>>2389085
I like the foreground. the guy's back and his pose in general is quite nice.

>>2389105
like the atmosphere of these, need to work on your perspective though i think (especially evident in the bowl)

>>2389085
>Don't be a dick

pissoff fukboi. The painting has no structure, no point of interest no fucking idea behind it. It can't even be counted as a rendering practice. You're just as bad as him .This fucking hugbox you're creating is not for here so you go eat shit together somewhere else with your edge.

Nice color

Gouache. How the fuck do I paint grass and foliage?? I'm trying to decide if I should keep working on to or if I should just trash it.

Grass
>quick small strokes with a fine brush

Trees -deciduous
>straight trunk with branches coming off near the top.
>build the branches. Draw a line then a shorter line off that line and so on. Use variations of the pattern.
>then speckled in the leaves. Start with the deepest colour and layer on lighter colours

Evergreen
>paint the trunk, can be crooked
>use smooth strokes fanning out triangularly

>>2389237
The head and torso are nice.

>How the fuck do I paint grass and foliage??

More carefully. Also, try desaturating your colours. They look like they're straight from the tube.

>>2389989
i'm not sure if i like this or think its garbage
the background is good, i like the coloration of her skin and the hair
but the face... i just
i'm sure the face would be better if it was just blank honestly.

also the hand above her tit gives me vertigo i don't think you have a well developed spatial sense or maybe its just in this particular painting

>>2390705
>Bumps a thread only to draw attention to his own painting.

Bump the thread, not just your own painting. Traditional threads are uncommon, less common than a"look at me I'm illastrat/cumbum/snowflake" thread.

>>2390720
Thanks for the comment. I also worry about the lack of depth surrounding the left hand. I think it will come about as the painting is developed further and further. What about her torso? Is it correct anatomically?

>>2390726
I bumped because I got no meaningful comment to help me continue this painting. Now I did. Good for me.

Inspired by my physics class

i call this one Armada. what say you /ic/?

>>2390749
looks fun. Reminds me of stuff I drew when I was a kid

>>2389208
tempera? looks fine dude, keep it up.

>>2390749
really like this.
middle and top left are a bit messy, not sure if that's by design or not (though if i have to ask that question i don't think the answer matters)

I still need to redline this perspective, but if anyone has a water tutorial that would be appreciated.

>>2390815
>>2390782
look how cool it is when you blow the fuck out of the colors. i wish i could get a painting to look as vibrant as this but that's the benefit of computer screens :( it's not really possible with traditional media

Current acrylic wip

>>2390839
.......you can do it, you just need to increase contrast and shine light onto your painting IRL. maybe play with texture? stop whining and just go out and try more stuff.

>>2391009
well honestly the real reason i can't get those colors is because i can't afford paints with that quality. a lot of the paints I use are hues, they aren't even true colors, and they are lower-mid tier brands.

hopefully some day :D i think for what I have I get interesting colors but I usually have to use paint straight from the tube.

Something I liked about this painting though color wise was using really opaque paint and mixing semi-transparent or transparent paint into it it really has some interesting effects.

Particularly the big blue and brown patch in the middle and the sky blue/brown patch in the bottom right. So maybe I'll invest in more transparents

acrylic

I sized up this morning's painting from another oil smaller sketch, but I still find I finish after 2 hours max & don't know how to proceed to finish it.

>>2391994
>>2391079
Great stuff

I dint like how this turned out, but it was fun to paint.

>>2391079
Looks good. You might go a step further and use black paint to imitate East Asian paintings.

>>2391994
This is best of the three. Looks great!

>>2392099
Looks good. I wish you'd rotate the image at the least.

Dear god I hope troll

>>2392370
puts me in mind of a very bad gauguin rip-off (not that i'm much of a fan in the first place)

>>2392457
dont worry, itll get fucked up with dots

>>2392462
How did you know of my plan? They look like dots on camera, but they actually aren't. It's texture due to sculptural impasto.

>>2392370
you should experiment with using transparent colors too. all opaque all the time is bad for your art health. you need to get accustomed to the medium and you won't get there without literally mixing different stuff together and seeing what they do.

do you use that same stupid fuckin face on everything?

Project for my second semester painting class. I liked the turn out? How about you? Critiques?

>>2393120

Scrap the face, start it over. Soften up the abdomen more, I don't know if you're going for that emaciated look, but maybe lightening up a bit will make it more 3-dimensional and less sickly.

Just finished this today
Acrylic

>>2393844
its so lovely, it makes me feel happy

>>2393901
gross, like the detail in the leg/monster part, but the rest likes like a todler did the rest. use some tape for the lines and do ur background before ur foreground since ur painting

>>2393467
Love the gloss on the shell and how the whole picture binds together organically

>>2393844
pls post more. really dig the style of this. the only quibble i have is that the trees on the left side seem a bit smallish in terms of the perspective and distance, but maybe i'm off base on that.

>>2390832
Got a pretty good sense of volume and lighting in this... but yeah, the perspective is a lil' off.

>>2393844
Awesome style! I feel the water is a bit too saturated/dark blue compared to the sky tho (the water should reflect the sky a bit more here and there)

>>2393844
more from me 12"x16" acrylic

from figure painting sesssion yesterday

>>2394383
sweet!

Where in the world do I even begin? I suck at drawing, i've never painted before in my life. But I bought a ton of acrylic paints/a handfull of brushes and 2 canvases (14x18)

Seeing as I suck at drawing/painting. I'm reluctant to really start because I don't exactly want to waste the paint until I fully understand color theory. But I guess that comes with use.

>>2394383
The face on the left looks off, but all around this is really nice!

>>2394455
just paint something, either from life or imagination
it'll be shit
post it here and we can help you understand why its shit
then paint over it or get a new canvas and try again

repeat forever

>>2394480

The whole color theory bit comes with just doing it, right? the whole saturation/hue/etc parts.

>>2394455
>>2394480
>>2394504

Actually, it can be really benenficial to learn colour theory by doing excercises.

Try mixing and painting an accurate colour wheel. Match the values of the colours with greys. Beyond this, there are many 'grid' and 'worksheet' type excercises that get you to mix hundreds of tints, shades, split complementaries, etc, and involve lots of matching of values and even step gradations. I did about 7 of these things over a couple months, requiring hundreds of mixes, and learned 10x as much as I would have just painting from observation and winging it. It's like practicing scales for piano.

Something from a few Werks ago. I already posted it in the draw thread before but wth. Just grinded construction for the last weeks so i dont have anything newer

>>2393844

Great job.

wip, just started this one in earnest today. the end goal is something very atmospheric with a lot of layers. hopefully i can finish it in a week or two. anyone have any tips on washes, this is something way out of my comfort zone (not that i'm good at standard painting anyway)

It's kinda boring and muddy, like you used flesh tint all over her and put some shadows on it. The whole thing looks pale.

>>2405443
Here it is in an installation view

>>2403909
I got invited to an art show for that one, but thanks, anon.

However, the shadows are a bit warmer in person.

One of my first paintings. I have this strange obsession with how chunky the palette knife makes everything look.

>>2405597
Being invited to a show because of a piece doesn't mean you shouldn't strive to keep improving, bro.
You're doing really well, but don't rest on those laurels

help guys, I can't paint traditionally for shit
I tried to paint cookies with gouache

>>2406852
Not bad for a first pass!

I'd say just focus in on and simplify the values a little more for strong form, and mind the subtle color temperature changes.

The texture of an object (cookie) will likely come from edge control and/or highlight behavior.

>>2406834
chun, do you think your paintings could be achieved without you knowing fundamentals? why?

>>2406855
Thanks for the advice!
It's good to know that I'm not completely lost

>>2406889
I want to paint this way. Nothing to do with fundamentals if you insist on realism.

>>2406852
I don't pull punches.

I thought they were rocks until you said they were cookies. They look a lot like cookies in the thumbnail, and I can totally see cookies when I keep that in mind, but otherwise I kinda think 'boulders, rocks'. So figure out why and fix that. 5.5-6.5/10, very good job for a first try.

Any tips for gouache tutorials/videos?

I made a thread a week or two back asking about pastels (many thanks to all who responded), and the materials I ended up going with arrived this week!

Painted this shit on a piece of copy paper treated with Colourfix Primer, hence the brush lines. Used copy paper because I just wanted to see if it would work, which surprisingly it sorta does if you're just fucking around and don't want something particularly presentable (could also just sand the brush lines down or use a roller or something I assume).
But this primer shit's really fucking great on decent paper, no brush lines at all. I'm using it to recycle used up watercolour paper scraps and fucking weeping for all the ones I've just thrown out over the years.

Anyway, this is literally the first thing I've ever painted with pastels, so probably not much to say or be said yet.

A thousand apologies for muh disembodied eye cliche, it's just such an easy quickie.

Watercolour

The skulls still a work in progress but I'm fairly happy with the background, not how I imagined it at first but a good learning experience as a whole

>>2407004
i see, but your learned things like comosition and colo theory together with other stuff that you use on realism, like matisse, hes learned a little of classical art so he could simplify it and distort it in a way

>>2407067
Good shit anon. I'd rec adding more depth to the eye socket where it meets the glabella, but its gorgeous my dude.

Also, much love for the Sleep poster. Keep paintin

??? Did you even read?

>>2407375
i like this a lot

Been working on this painting. Forgot to paint a background before I painted the cat itself and now I have no idea what the fuck I'm gonna do.

The yellow/goldish thingies on it's back were supposed to be eyes. Been debating on whether or not I should paint the pupils, kinda like it like that though

An old thing I did in high school. I usually prefer oils when do it at home...of course, I'm too goddamn lazy to paint more than a few days out of the year.

Acrylics would be perfect if they did not get so dark after à while

>>2409328
you are overworking the face

>>2409328
is that from reference or imagination?

>>2409440
Get out.

>>2409347
I overworked it, for better or worse I already applied fixative

>>2409440
It's a rather liberal master study of Sargent's Beatrice Townsend

>>2409328
It looks good, but don't be scared to really push those darker values, it looks a bit flat at the moment. Other than that there are details that are a bit weird. Her chin looks crooked, and it's hard to tell what her left hand is doing. The black around it almost makes it look like she's holding a piece of her dress, the value shift is subtler in the original even though it's generally darker.

>>2409535
Her right hand, our left. derped.

>>2407375
>signing
it's so good anon, don't marr it that way

really love the sky, mountains are a bit too fluid for my tastes but that's probably just a personal take.

Been working on a set for an assignment, I'm not nearly at the level I want to be at, but nether the less it's fun to paint. Criticisms and advice would be greatly appreciated.

>>2413475
These are oil paints on MDF boards

>>2413475
>>2413480
Your colors are looking really muddy anon and it seems like you've overworked some areas. Are you using any mediums? Try condensing your brushstrokes and taking a break now and then to let the paint sit. I love the idea of the plane windows though.

>>2413475
I like this one more. Very good balanced colors. But the wooden boat at bottom is not finished yet

>>2414079
>boat
i understand now, your eyes are just busted. that's why you can't see that you always do the SAME FUCKIGN FACE

>>2413475
>>2414093
Although to be honest... what the fuck is that brown thing supposed to be?

>>2414093
Maybe Chunbum's paintings are actually of boats.

>>2414207
I believe it's a plane's engine sketched, but not painted

>>2413475
I really like this. I fly alot so this painting makes me feel very cozy. And the fact that the canvas (board?) is in the shape of an airplane window is probably the best touch. There's a lot to be technically nitpicky about, particularly about how your colors aren't desaturated enough as they recede into the distance, and your gamut is kind of lacking overall, but as a concept I really like it, keep going. Here's something I'm working on

>>2414389

WIP 5'x6' oil on canvas

WIP 5'x6' oil on canvas

>>2415408

>>2415410
Better than 95% of ic.

Her face looks a tad skewed somehow. Her left cheek is caving in a bit, or perhaps the features are a bit big, or perhaps the mouth and nose are too far below the eyes/too close to chin.

The line describing crotch and legs could be more defined, but I understand this is a wip and you probably know that.

Her left lower leg and right hand are painted really nicely. The foreshortening on the right forearm could be a bit more convincing, but I don't know exactly how you'd fix that.

The setting is nicely painted, but the placement of the dark bird is not great: obscuring the shoe, and he's painted pretty clumsily.

I assume the next thing you'll be working on is the drapery, because it looks a little gross: especially where it meets the flesh at the torso and right leg.

>>2393844
Freakin gorgeous dude, like hopper or something. Got any websites with more of your work?

>>2415463
Thank you for all the pointers, and yes most of all the things you've pointed out are all areas I'm still working on. it takes a while becaue I build up in thin layers. and I'll post more photos and close ups when it's done. I appreciate the time you spent really looking at it. And if you wanted to know I'm probably naming it Venus of Olympia. it's based off of Manet's Olympia, which was influenced by Titians Venus of Urbino. let me know if you have any thoughts on the matter. and thanks again!

Lay it on me, brothers. This is the 5th painting I've made.

>>2416820
really hard to tell what's happening even with the title
like the palette though.

>>2414552
added some more to the sky and some ref lines for the rocks. 3'x4' for ref, biggest canvas i've ever done (and taking forever too).

>>2416820
looks good. Abstract is the way to go

>>2417060
They're supposed to be shapes of melting ice, but yeah, you can only figure out all the shapes if you step back and squint a little

Any idea how I can make pictures where objects near each other are kinda similar in color?

>>2417060
i feel like you are overworking the clouds, either use a bigger brush or do less strokes, i dunno

that blue and black background looks amazing, the clouds are kinda ruining it

Trying to figure out titles right now , it's a drag...

But I really enjoyed on it! And I like how the sky colors turned out. Sorry for phone quality picture.

>>2419043
keep at it! oils are the best.

>>2419043
nice nice, pretty good for a first time i think
i assume you did the wet-on-wet style bob teaches? it's really nice for a beginner who wants to do landscapes but i'd recommend trying different techniques and really experimenting with the limits of the medium as you learn.

>>2417060
some work on the cliff faces, not 100% happy with it but its not awful (i think the pic makes it look a bit better than in person honestly). should be able to finish it up sometime this week.

also to the anon talking about my sky thanks, i was contemplating more clouds but i think you're right, i'd just ruin it.

>>2389088
thats cool! dont let these fuckers get u down. i envy the freedom having art as just a hobby grants you to stay in your comfort zone and make a bunch of kitschy shit. no offense

>>2389237
i like the way the light plays on the figure alot. the rest of the piece doesnt really seem developed but its nice!

>>2389996
>fucked up face
you know how many famous artists painted faces like that in the past? im not that anon i just dont see how /ic/ can be so hypocritical to hold said artists in such high regard and then condemn other lesser known artist for basically the same shit. i fucking hate that painting too. its just all this pretentious elitism which surely stems from pure ignorance that fucking pisses me off. we need another holocaust.

>>2393120
>>2420546
okay i dont hate the painting. i guess its kinda nice. but that nigga can do better and everyone knows it. including him. i fucking hate artists like that for real. its like put some fucking effort in. its not enough that their shit looks totally different from everyone else but they gotta not even fucking try just to show how little they care what other people of their art. its fucking bullshit. but just keep chalking it up to finesse i guess

>>2421996
Are you joking? I am not very impressed. Sure it's abstract but there is no harmony in colors, and composition isn't great either.

If you are going for abstract and grotesque, do something like this -

>>2422018
if you were going for "greatest artist ever" maybe you should've stopped having orgasms before I did. Oops. too late. beat ya to it. keep whackin off to your wonky anatomy asian ladies.

>>2422023
I reply kindness with kindness and belligerence with belligerence, my lad.

Maybe you shouldn't have written that condescending comment, then I wouldn't have criticized your art, which, by the way, is my honest opinion.

You wanted me to do some academic studies, and I did just that. I have another painting waiting to be dried before I can photograph it. You obviously aren't happy with it.

This is a jealous and hypocritical place. When I do beautiful Asian ladies, you want me to do more fundamentals. When I do fundamentals, you say that's not a real painting. What do you want?

I am not trying to claim to be the greatest artist ever. But definitely I will rebut any insults and condescension on me or my art.

>>2422028
>I am not trying to claim to be the greatest artist ever
if thats not your goal you're either lying or retarded. why wouldn't you want to be the greatest artist ever?

>>2422028
You are wrong on two levels - claiming to be greatest and trying to be greatest are two separate things,

and I respect the giants that came before me. I am going to stand among them, but I am not going to try or claim to be the greatest artist ever. That's a foolish goal.

You walk into MOMA and see the painting by Picasso of the women of Avignon, and you can't help but wonder how amazing and brilliant he was - his painting has massive presence and figures and curtains fill up the whole painting with such vigor and finesse. Same for van Gogh - his instinct in colors were impeccable. He produced about one painting a day.

And also Frank Auerbach.. when he wrestles with massive paint on the canvas, he earns my utmost respect.

>>2422034
you don't seem to understand what im saying. if you aren't the greatest artist who ever lived, why should i EVEN BOTHER RESPONDING TO YOU. have some fucking self worth. do something that makes me care about you. stop masturbating you fucking idiot. its not and has never been about the paintings themselves. its about what you learn from them

>>2422045
If you are only gonna respond to the greatest artist ever lived, it's already too late. It was Picasso, and he's already dead.

I kind of like your paintings. Too bad you're insane.

>>2422139
>Huh? 90% of adults masturbate.
why is it always 90% whenever u guys talk about statistics

>>2422147
It's a rough estimate, pretty sure kinsey report says 90% of men and 75% of women, or some such thing.

>>2421944
i like this even if the shadow makes it seem like there's a spooky ghost behind him.

i think the painting was hung a little tilted though? or the perspective is off.

>>2422075
>not masturbating

i mean sure most people aren't particularly well adjusted when it comes to sex but holy fuck dude that is a whole new level of issues. see a therapist and maybe they'll help you deal with your uncle touching you?

Crits appreciated on ma birds

>>2426021
the feet are a disaster, and the feathers range from passable to "i know these are feathers because i was told this is a bird"

i do like the kea(?) with the headphones though

>>2426087
Thank you. Did not think about it while painting, but you're right, the feet definitely suck.
The feathers especially on the right bird or on all of them you think?

>>2426021
Btw, whenever i paint it seems to me that the canvas shows through a lot.
Anyone know why this is and if it can be fixed?
I use acrylics.

>>2426116
more paint is the solution to this. either you're using too much water and so it's a very thin layer, or you're not diluting it at all and just drybrushing. either way, more paint and more layers will solve this problem if it's not what you want.

wowsers

>>2426183
painting takes time and /ic/ is a slow board

>>2426087
*kiwi, not kea

>>2426107
i think the one on the right is especially egregious, but the ostrich looks like a blackish blob mostly.

getting back into acrylics

>>2393844
>that water
>those rocks
i came

>>2393844
>shadows on the water...
holy shit I feel like an unevolved primate before your talent you fucking dick.

>>2426228
painted this too

>>2426735
comfort zone: the painting.

>>2426757
god forbid someone draw what they like to draw. anon fuck off

>>2408629

Hey guys please don't be too harsh! This is only my second portrait. Any thoughts on it?

18x24", need to rework some areas on here. Apologies for the shine, photographing wet work is difficult.

>>2426930
Can't really describe it but I just love the dark tone to this man. This is my kind of art! Great job!

>>2426908
ego damage control: the post

>>2426925

is that nathan explosion

>>2426985
Hell fuck yeah it is buddy!

Started this yesterday, oil on gessoed board..

I just started oil painting. I haven't painted anything in years. I've already fucked it up though, and I'm currently in the process of fucking it up even more through overworking.
>>2389208
Hey, your apple looks like my apple. I wish I had the balls/skills to paint that loose.

>>2427063
>dat depth
I wanna eat it

>>2407067
nice skully

Here is one I worked on back in November,
4'x4' on canvas.

Typically I like to paint in more of an illustrative style.

sorry for quality

The Bearded Warrior II

>>2393844
texture sucks
busy trees
too saturated
shit shadows
too many people going woahhh

>>2429082
don't understand why it posted it sideways

In the Shower

>>2427063
It's >>2389208 again, I'm actually pretty new to painting and trying to do things more realistic. The loosness is not intentional, I'm just a scrub. I really like your apple.

>>2429718

Lol how horrible

>>2429718
truly tragic

>>2429718
i bet your art teacher loves you

>>2429718
the colors on the skin make me uncomfortable, but they look good

First time working with acrylic paint, just starting to block in some colours.

Its a little shitty but I think i can get it to work. C&c welcome

>>2389237
Arm hair.

>>2393844
Ony thing off (majourly), Is tht the water needs some white highlights. the sun IS out right?

>>2418251
Call it Roxanne

Untitled

first ever oil painting

first time oil painting
it was horrible

>>2430122
Why don't you actually paint something faggot?

>>2430122
Too derivative of Pollock. No matter what you bring to the table, drip paintings will always be seen as copies of Pollock's stuff. You need to find your own gimmick.

added a butterfly

Unoriginal abstract painting, but they're fun so

>>2421872
mo progress

>>2426937
The word I'm keeping in mind right now and trying to chase is chiaroscuro. There's a lot of stuff you'd probably like if you searched that. Also check out Michael Borremans and Victor Man.
Thanks a lot man!

>>2427063
Almost ready to leave it.
>>2429733
Wow, well you got your values down. That's what I'm struggling with, I've always got snowed in on details and either ignored values completely or just fucked them up in the progress.
>>2421573 I like the ink. It ties it together nicely.
>>2427049
I really wanna see this finished.
>>2427201
Thanks! I think it looks flatter now, not sure how much is on me and how much is just the paint drying.

bit off more than i could chew with this one but it was a worthwhile experiment

Just learning with watercolor. Just a wip.

washed out pic. second time working with oils.

>>2390872
Nice

>>2390839
It's ok. The only thing that really bothers me is the blue ship recklessly painted at the left center.

>>2406834
garbage

>>2430122
garbage

>>2405603
what a waste of paint

>>2431048
Another wip. I've spent way too much time on it but I just can't stop

>>2405603
not fantastic but I like it. It looks fresh.

emm, guys, what else do I need, besides an easel, to get started? what different types of paint there are? I wanna paint some bauhaus but am completely new to using anything beyond a pencil or charcoal.

>>2436392
I would probably start off with acrylics. And pick up a copy of Color by Betty Edwards to learn colour mixing and painting basics. In fact, here's a pdf: https://134fundamentals.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/color-by-betty-edwards.pdf
There you'll also find information about all the tools and paints you'll need. Study it well and you'll be able to paint Bauhaus to your hearts content.

>>2436459
cool, thanks! I'll give it a look.

some shitty paintings (more like studies)

>>2437644
and another

>>2431048
Bit slow to post it here, finished it now.

>>2437697
It took me a but too long to find the dog in the foreground, so you could bump up the values on it. Also: the blue in the water towards the background is very saturated for being in the background.

How to improve this - especially the background

>>2434428
I love this

Complete, final

Still rough but I'm not sure if I'll actually bother finishing it.

>>2390717
Good use of rthyme.

>>2438322
stoooooooooooooop

>>2438322
>>2438138
Holy shit this is better than comedy.

>>2438322
I'd make the background a bit more subtle. Or less messy in other words, but i do like most of the colors you've used in this one.
also, changing the color of your signature was a good move. it was kinda distracting

>>2438322
Pretty cool. Have you tried any where the black outline is more subdued? Does that take away or add to it?

>>2415408
the most interesting painting in this thread

keep it up

Any advice?

I mean this in the least offensive way as possible: You really suck. You're completely missing the mark in all categories. My best advice would be to stop and seriously consider what you're doing. There is nothing compelling or interesting or pleasing to look at in these works.

>>2439287
Stop lying and brain washing. Truth is self evident. You wanna believe sooo bad that they suck when they don't. It's embarrassing. My art rocks period.

>>2439214
I don't want to lessen the black outline because that would take away from the contrast of the work. But thank you for the suggestion.

>>2438370
Looks good, but rough as you said, keep at it!
Im assuming the odd colours are left there from previous layers? Try glazing once you've finished it up a bit, great for making things uniform, if you didn't know that already

>>2426116
apply a couple layers of white acrylic before starting if you want to get rid of the canvas texture and still get a flat painting.
or just use more paint

Self Portrait IV

>>2440072
i think you may have ever so slightly improved. keep going in this direction and eventually youll have actual anatomy.

>>2438141
thanks dude!
I've done some more work on the chest, currently tweaking some bits and I'll finish the grass, then I'll add the whiskers and call it done.

Alright so this is actually my first time posting my own work here. I've lurked on and off for many years, but I basically stopped doing art years ago. Now I have my motivation back, with a vengeance. My previous work has been utter shit, but I've never had any constructive criticism, just asspats leaving me a crippled dA-tier wreck. I knew I was bad, but I wouldn't have been able to handle criticism if I got it.
I have successfully deflated my ego, and I'm ready to have it laid on me.
I got really carried away with this rabbit. It's my second painting since my new start and I expected it to be as shit as my old work or worse, so I painted it on fucking Canson Figueras paper. I couldn't bring myself to risk ruining a canvas. I can tell you it's a huge improvement from my previous work, and I attribute that to not trusting my eyes, instinct or "talent", realising the importance of values, and just constantly checking my reference.
I will be posting my upcoming work and I expect you to be brutally honest, I crave it.

>>2438141

I like it

>>2440115
Well, this is not the harsh criticism I expected.

>>2440106

This is really, really good mate. Not even lying. Is it gouache?

>>2440152
It's oil paint actually. Don't think I've ever used gouache. I've mostly used acrylics in the past and never truly enjoyed it. Oils just get my creative juices flowing like nothing else. The smell alone is intoxicating.

>>2440115
>>2440152
I hate nice people on /ic/. I wish I could say something really insulting about this piece of work.

>>2440159
Yeah, it reminds me of all the good things we will never have.

>>2440159

Credit where it's due, anon.

>>2440156

I feel the same as you about acrylics. I recently started to attend a course focused on the medium and the teacher assured me that nowadays oils and acrylics are on par with one another when it comes to pigments and such. I'm still not really convinced, the medium just feels really clumsy to me and I just can't seem to get all the nice subtleties I can get with oils. I do want to crack the code to acrylics though, they're a lot more practical opposed to oils. Gouache is nice, I think I consider them a happy middle between acrylics and oil? Like, all the convenience of acrylics with the nice subtleties of oils.

>>2406834
Burn and start over, but this time actually paint something.

Wip, working the gradient and studying Mikey.

>>2395942

Beautiful. Teach me your secrets.

>>2395942
Heres another one

>>2440159
>something really insulting
The eyes are fucked up, the mouth is off (esp in the coloration)...
Yeah that's all I got

Self Portrait IV revised

Started painting last year September.
I call this 'Me, You, & Them'
I really wanna get good someday.
Someday...

>>2441410
nevermind i lied you havent been improving.

>>2441410
Amateurish stroke layering

>>2441410

Ahahahahaha

>all of chunbum parks posts have been deleted from the thread
>thead is like 20 posts shorter than it was yesterday

ty based mods

also i broke my easel painting too hard, any recommendations for a new one? i want something relatively cheap ideally, but not flimsy

>>2443130
>i broke my easel painting too hard
...how the fuck?

>>2445033
Easels can be annoyingly flimsy.

>>2445038
true dat
i ended up getting a nicer h frame (i had some shitty a frame previously) for like 60% off at michaels, pretty based tbqh. also new thread when

Acrylic and Ink
A serie I am working on

i did a self portrait and it was popular on another website so tell me how terrible it actually is

>>2446073
a good pose to hide your hands since i'm assuming you can't paint hands. anatomy in general seems a bit off (figure's left arm is too long i think, shoulders are both iffy for 2 examples)

i like the way you denoted fabric,shadows are inconsistent tho

palette perspective is a little wonky but i can forgive that. background perspective however looks radically off, and that is a big nono.

the face looks pretty well done.

I hope "another website" isn't reddit because someone will inevitably make fun of you for it.

>>2446096
ill accept every critique except "can't paint hands"... i draw hands constantly

>>2446073
Suffering from chunbum syndrome

>>2446128
>>2446130
I don't get it, I see no critics just whiny ass bitches...

>>2446070
Everything is pretty good, except the bottom left which is absolutely retarded

>>2446330
Can you please explain ?

>>2446334
The missing child posters just seem ridiculously excessive. Imo it would've been far more impacting with just the crying women.

>>2446347
Thanks a lot, I appreciate the critic

>>2446283
That nose looks really long and skinny. Almost like a floppy dick hanging between your eyes

>>2446242
good work dude
where r you from?

>>2446430
Thanks man, I'm from palestine

>>2446242
>>2446246
i really like the beach scene, but i feel like the mountains leave a little to be desired? i dunno, just not feeling that as much. good work overall though, keep at it and post more!

>>2440724
Your so-called "insult" was valid critique and I changed the eye and nose, as well as the ears. You'll have to try harder than that.
Still a bit to go but getting there.

>>2446242
>>2446246
Very nice. I can't wait to try my hand at plein air painting myself.
