[Anonymous No.2706731]

Hey kids! Now you can go to school with lots of depressed chinks in semi-rural china and become that identical (read: somewhat sub par) copy of RJ that you always wanted to be! And tuition only costs about $5000 a year. I hope you brushed up on your ching chong, because you have to speak communist moon to study there.

What do you think d/ic/ks will you be studying in the east?

I wonder what the /ic/ of the east is like, they probably don't have incredibly shitty memes about sparks, gesture battles, natural talent, need more loomis, post your work, flash me, symbol drawing, ligamemes, neuroplasticity, and aphantasias

[Anonymous No.2706831]

But they still have all the same dicksucking threads about Mullins/Jaime/Ruan. It's probably not all that different from here, I'm sure they also have their own memes and negativity. Human nature is pretty uniform.

No one cares about the hordes of RJ ripoffs in China. The scary thing is that some of them have started going to Art Center now...like I am scared to see what this guy will be doing in 5 or 6 years: https://www.artstation.com/artist/lucaxu

So he only did a month there? Other anons made it sound like he was studying full time in their main program.

Also his lack of drawing skills really shows in his traditional paintings way more now that he can't hide it behind a million digital flashy techniques and rework it endlessly.

And a piss-stained, glowing, cross-eyed painting that is well into kitschy Jesus territory is supposed to change my mind? He's literally hiding half the drawing behind saturated colors and soft edges, and he still made him cross-eyed.

Sure he's skilled, much more than I am, but he's still not a god and has lots of mistake in his drawing, and he also has some shitty taste.

For their summer program like that they mostly are filled with foreigners I think, so the level should probably be at least mid tier but you don't need to be as good as if you were getting into their full time program.

If you're that critical about anyones art, whether or not it's Ruan Jia's, god knows how you must feel about your own art. Good luck with whatever you're doing, you'll need it.

I'm critical about all art, and I believe it's necessary to maintain a highly critical eye on everything regardless of what name is attached to the artwork. You're right that I hate my own artwork, but with enough time and work I hope to hate it a bit less.

What? What's Repina? Is that supposed to be the Repin Academy or something? Never seen it written like that, and if you really were attending that then the teachers there would like the images I posted.

>>2707027
Any decisions in how you depict something come down to taste, but a lot of his decisions are stock formulas like adding in lots of unnecessary hues or soft edges. Each decision should be made in a case by case basis so that it has the most impact and is effective, but he isn't doing this. He's not following a strict direction with his art so it comes across as tacky and cheap.

[Anonymous No.2707039]

>>2706933
Wait, what exactly were you trying to prove with that paintover? That using shitty brush strokes, fucking up the edges and getting rid of rich broken colors makes it look worse? No shit it does. Are you retarded? You're basically saying if you remove 50% of the skillful elements of the painting it doesn't look as good anymore.

In that year his schedule would be to get up at 10am, workout in his home gym for 2h (including shower and breakfast), then draw from 12am to 12pm with one hour in between for sleep and eating (food would be made).

That guy is around thirty years old.

Would he become at least employable and good enough to switch his career to illustrating / animating or CA depending on what he chooses?

Thoughts.

Why you think your taste is good? Who are you to talking about "hues or soft edges" as some professional artist or art teacher? Do you have art education in one of the best fine art school? Did you study art history? Are you part of any art academies? Can someone competent like members of Royal Academies confirm your good taste? Can you show some other proofs? Oil panitngs? Fine art collection? Claiming about superiority of taste is very provocatively and snobbish

[Anonymous No.2707093]

>>2707077
A few problems:
-it takes longer than a year to go from amateur to professional, so he would run out of money, it's best to say it will take at least 3 or 4 years, but for most people it would take over 5
-almost no one has the discipline to actually work 10 hours a day every day like that cut off from everything
-if someone did indeed do that they would likely burn out
-even if by some miracle the artist gains professional painting skills at the end of the year, they haven't been making connections or marketing themselves online, so it would take a while before they could start to make any money or get any jobs
If you're already 30 then you're going to be "late" to the game anyways, so just take it slow and don't try to rush to catch up. At that age a couple years extra makes little difference. So if you will quit your job then maybe get a part time job instead so you have some income and can stretch out your training period to be several years.

Those are literally some of the most basic terms and ideas in painting. You don't need to be a teacher to use them.
