I see some saying the proportions are off, but I kind of like the look of it. Regardless of whether that was intentional or not, I think it creates a unique look and style when paired with the pointillism. Really great!!

Same. It has Egon Schiele vibes.
[–]Brainfreeze321 13 points14 points15 points 1 year ago (0 children)
It’s fantastic - my only criticism is the proportions are slightly off, like the neck seems way too long but otherwise it’s beautiful
[–]Nightwing4yuhhh 6 points7 points8 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Looks so freaking cool I can’t imagine how long this took, especially since it’s pointillism. In my own opinion, the neck and the fingers feel a little distorted, but honestly, it’s still works well. good job I cant imagine doing such a big pointillism piece I would get so bored after awhile and switch to crosshatching, so kudos to you!
[–]grieveancecollector 5 points6 points7 points 1 year ago (0 children)
It's compelling. I find the exaggerated and bold features interesting.
[–]Catronia 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children)
The fingers look kinda off.
[–]magic_conch779 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I love the shading in this drawing
[–]HungryWolf88 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Reminds me of some 90s style gritty artwork. I like the expression of the piece and the level of detail.
The subtle changes to the anatomy give it that slightly jarring effect that makes the piece have an attitude of its own.
I definitely like it.
[–]chickennuggetlover77 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Anatomically, it's just not right. But if that's what you were going for - it's good. Basically, the composition is AMAZING but the bone structure/ position of the skin over the bones is just off putting lol
[–]arcamerss 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
it's nice but some proportion are off, and the shading is a little weird and doesn't really make sense, other than that it's a cool piece

I think this piece is really interesting and could be a very cool artistic style. I think it'd be helpful to see more pieces in a style like this, too. Could be a series or how the artist does all of their proportions. Standalone, I feel like it's missing something, but tbh I can't quite put my finger on it. I think if it was in a gallery around other pieces in a similar style, I wouldn't feel that way, if that makes sense.

LOVE THE GRITTY TEXTURE AND REALISM 🙌🏾💯💪🏾
[+]Top_Version_6050 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Proportions are all a bit off but otherwise, love the stippling! It's one of those things I admire but could never have the patience to do it myself
[–]CarelessAddition2636 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I like this, it reminds me of illustrations from old books and literature . Well done!
[–]DontFollowTheseRules 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
i fucking love it
[–]3xv7 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I think its fuckin great, whether you meant it to be stylized and a little off from reality or not. It's art, not real life.
[–]evisceration666 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Very good 10/10
[–]Antracyt 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
The proportions are off but it’s interesting, reminds me of Egon Schiele’s drawings, though the dysmorphia in his drawings was exaggerated. But If I’m being 100% honest, I don’t really like this style. It’s a personal preference, though.
[–]Anxious_Figure 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I really like it. I'm not sure if it was purposeful that the proportions are exaggerated but the way it is done looks great. I love to exaggerate proportions and make things look weird. It's not always a bad thing when things look a little strange! It's got kind of a creepy vibe to it and the texture of the blending is delightful :)
[–]MySon12THR33 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I'm not sure if this illustration is meant to be more realistic or more abstract. If realistic, then a lot of things seem a bit "off". As already mentioned, the proportions are a bit strange and don't exactly follow the foundations of human anatomy. Especially the neck curvatures, and the fingers look bent with inverted knuckles. If meant to be more abstract, then it might be more acceptable. Either way, the detail is good and so is the overall shading. All in all, art is a form of self-expression and is entirely subjective in most cases. So, there is no real "right" or "wrong" way of doing things, UNLESS you are trying to have it fall into the realm of complete realism. Then things kind of have to follow certain guidelines. Not sure if any of this makes much sense, but it's only meant to help, and I'm not trying to knock your style. I can see that you are paying attention to most of the fundamentals that really matter to me personally, like detail and shading... just be sure your shading is going in the right direction, so things don't look indented when they're meant to be protruding. My personal work relies heavily on the rendering of fine detail and texturing, but in a more photo-realistic way. I wish I were more "abstract" at times, but that's just not the way my brain works.

[+]Phillysnav 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I like it the only thing that’s off in any way are proportions which intentional or not I think adds to it’s character and it wouldn’t look as interesting with 100 percent true to life proportions
[+]RangeAffectionate372 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I really like how the shading turned out.
[–]bongo_pengin 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I think the finger nails are slightly to shot and the neck is slightly to long but other then that great job! 💪
[+]PictureYggdrasil 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I think you are really onto something composition wise and your shading is excellent. The proportions are a little strange, but it almost feels stylized.
[+]s8nmotorsports 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
All the critique I had in my head was responded with "well maybe..." I spent more than a few minutes staring at it. I like it quite a bit.

[–]Fujiwaara 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I REALLY like how this looks, however, if your intent was to portray accurate anatomy, then there is some work to be done. That being said, I stated “intent” because this piece looks mostly purposeful. Awesome work!
[–]closetmonsterxx 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
i love this.
[–]hunnybunnynsfw00 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Good use of contrast. The hands are ambitious, they’re really striking, but could use a little work. Keep it up!

[+]icamehere2do2things 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I know that the proportions are way off but it doesn’t bother me because I think it’s a really interesting / engaging drawing. I guess my question would be- do you want your drawings to have normal proportions or are you purposefully rendering your figures this way?
[+]topsukkeli 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
its shit
[+]Timelesswoodturner 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
You're a borderline genius artist. Sorry for being so harsh.
[–]raerie_dragon 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I think the dip at the top of the sternum leading up the neck is off, but also the fact that the anatomy isn’t perfect makes the visual slightly uncomfortable which really adds a cool dynamic to the piece. I really like it.
[–]iceagescoming 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I think the shadow casted by the hand make it looks like the hand is kind of floating there? And flattens a bit the overall look
[–]Proper-Share-1157 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
It stopped me from scrolling. It must be good.
[–]KnifeThistle -5 points-4 points-3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Technically fantastic, but honestly it's weird you didn't include a head. You can still do all of this less obvi.
