try to find some patrons my dude so that you might stop with your current "art" and enjoy your work to the fullest extent of your abilities

I'm and art pleb I just come here to look at shit, but these are very nice. Some others ones are unpleasant. Some of them just look very depraved which some people may like, just not me

>>3610574
I really like the first image. It deserves to be in a gallery
Tiger approves

>>3610574
I don't know what style this is but it isn't pretty anime girls or demonstrate real technical skill so I don't really like it.

The state of "modern art" is pretty disgusting baka.

>>3610921
>doesnt demonstrate technical skill
Anon, please.

>>3610574
None of your paintings are "resolved", im sure they are done from your perspective but they seem to be stuck on phase 2 or 3 out of 5. From this perspective, they are incomplete.

I would suggest to keep going over them - adding and subtracting. The painting with the female figure on black. The only reason that looks to be the most complete (still not) is because of the figure which you probably borrowed from Egon Schiele.

i really like your work, particularly:
>>3610599
and
>>3610602 (reminds me of king crimson)

/ic/ will tell you it's shit but i think you have a chance at galleries

my advice would be just keep doing what you're doing, and try to be more ambitious with each piece.

don't listen to trolls or literal nazis like >>3610887
>>3610921

There's no reason you made any of theses. You did a figure study and used faux abstract techniques to make them colorful. The only reason to make them that big is to impress people who don't know it makes it easier. Think more about what your making.

pyw

>>3611068
this is what it ended up looking like, the incomplete picture was to kinda show progress/technique i guess

>>3611414
You're bad and should accept that you're not doing art because you love it but because you wanna impress people and have that "artist aura" you think artists have.
Do more ( a hell of a lot more ) and start showing your art again in 10 years, if you're still doing art by then.
You can't master painting in a year, hell some people never do.
So stop seeing painting as white bored housewives over 40 see it, a cool hobby that will make people think they're interesting.
Ask yourself why you do art, if the answer ins't "because it feels good and I genuinely love it" then please don't.
We don't need more artist-wanabee in the world.

Based.
This kid is only doing it to fuck some artsy dumb bitches

>>3611423
post your work already

>>3610598
TITS LMFASO

>>3611423
nice projection

>>3611158


i make these cause i have to i guess? some are about a really dark period in my life as of late and they are in a way a projection of how mental illness and addiction have affected my life

>>3611423

wow, i didn't start making art this year, i said i start painting in a year. i wanted to know if anybody can see growth in my work. But yeah i make art because i always have. Now its changed into a way to channel all these overwhelming emotions i deal with daily. Im bipolar and the mood swings are very severe at this time, but im also dealing with my first heartbreak. right now im getting sober again as i went back to heroin this month. all this to say the painting is like a form of meditation to me, true i start aimlessly and most of the time i dont finish but sometimes it dont feel good at all but i need to get it out of me. i dont know if that makes me art wannabe

>>3611442
oh no whats wrong with the tits

>>3610574
Looking good, anon. If you find an audience for your work, that's awesome. It's a little too busy for me but I can see why people will like it. If you improve your figures, add more fidelity and realism to them, I think they will be much better. People will be able to appreciate the technical aspects more as well. Your work reminds me of Phil Hale. Check him out if you haven't. And best of luck to your recovery.

>>3611611
>Phil Hale.
You must be joking

>>3611574
You basically describe any art wanabee I encounter on a daily basis

>>3611452
No projection, just my opinion based on what I see in this thread

>>3611430
I mostly draw comics so my painting skills are bad and that wouldn't be relevant to the thread

>>3612042
so what makes a real artist?

what area of art do you think you would fall in

>>3610777
trips of truth
happy you found your niche Anon

>>3610574
maybe /ic/ is not the place to ask

>>3611574
Where are you working there? Nice space

I'm gonna refrain from posting my opinion because I don't want to hurt your feelings. Ironically.

Keep it up, they are good.

Now I sage because my post adds nothing of substance.

i live in atlanta, and work at this design studio, my boss lets me use it to do my own projects in which is the only reason im able to do them so big

>>3612335
Work ethic, balance between logic and emotion, business strategy.
The moody, I have emotions/I have a voice/ I'm unique and will express my harsh life to the common folk approach never works out. The only art students that I see succeeding and all of the art teachers I've ever met are well balanced between expression and market appeal. You break a leg? Keep working. You feel down or depressed? Doesn't matter, keep working. Have your child commit suicide? Keep working, then make a art exhibition showcasing your works that do not talk about your struggles and at best show a bit of melancholy and end up selling all of those works out.
I don't think it matters what you do but you need to view it as a job. If you don't do it then your bills wont get paid. The "artists" who see that as selling out now work in pubs or do commercial prints for toilet paper commercials and at best show their #toodeep works at the local cafe.

>>3611414
It's annoying, it's filled with a disgusting tannish color that reminds me of spoiled milk and it fights with literally ever other color on the canvas. You made the eyes as realistic as you could while leaving the lips and nose to look like clipart. And why is the face almost tucked into the top left corner instead being in the middle of the canvas? This could be a good piece, but you really need to work on the colors

>>3613846
Could not have said it better.

>>3610574
Pretty cool.
Do they give off the “expensive vibe” irl?

>>3610574
>id also like to know if its good enough to get into galleries

galleries of modern art, yes.
for the "classic" ones, you need a bit more realism and practice.
overall, not bad :\ for the first time.

>>3611574
I honestly feel like it's just empty emotionally. With the background of drugs and mental illness you speak of, i'd think you'd have something interesting to say with your paintings, but it's all just unfinished female bodies. I can't paint personally so I can't comment on your skill, but it's miles better than what I can do paint wise.

>>3610602
all these are dope but this one is kino

>>3611574
keep on keeping on bud.

you got any suggestions on how to to do or get studio space? What are you in a fucking warehouse?

You've got so much room for activities. Or is that a university situation.

Regardless stop doing heroin probably. Have you considered microdosing lsd?

>>3613566
there it is. coolcoolcool

>>3613846
ill buy that for a dollar

always the same with you undergrad snowflakes.

>>3617335
art consumers like the conversation point. If you can sell your muh issues in your work it adds more meme value and stuff. Art has been about feelings since we figured out how to capture light on film.

>>3613846
I can partly agree. we had way too many "i'm so troubled" students at my uni. in fact, a friend of mine went abroad (Israel) and at the final years presentation, one kid was just presenting the worst shit from his lazy term. teachers were trashing him and out of nowhere, he said: "yeah but we had the holocaust", with no connection to any of his works whatsoever.

this kind of deflection is only found in insecure ngmi students. the menstrual blood painting troubled lady, the depressed angsty kid with the difficult family background, the rich family kid with too much money and no skill …

another case, my experience. ugly, fat short-hair feminist is doing her finals presentation. shows a bunch of boring, amateurish frontal studio portrait photos (black and white, what else?). she put another person at 50% transparency on top of each portrait. "yeah i have a birth defect and that's my way to deal with it!". no connection to the topic, tutors and professor silent, afraid they hurt her fee fees. gets an A. this shit is fucking cancer.

ayy at least you're a namefag now. That a polack meme?
>>3617345
the irony of this post is that you're incredibly troubled and apparently refuse to come to terms with it, and instead spend a lot of your time shitposting on 4chan and stalking people and acting like a faggot.
>this kind of deflection is only found in insecure ngmi students.
you're the hitler castle fag right?
>another case, my experience. ugly, fat short-hair feminist is doing her finals presentation.
notice how you reflexively think of reality in terms of the radical political strawmen that exist in your head. You got mind cancer ratto.

Nice rant about the 3 meme things you're vaguely aware of dude. Glad you're finally a namefag.

>>3617346
honestly friend you have actual mental health issues. You have a personality disorder. You'll never not have a personality disorder. Might as well incorporate it into your work.

Be a lot better than doing nothing and bitching at everyone that does, like you compulsively do.

Great paintings, really like your works, keep going
