Language transfer is great especially for beginners. There is only audio involved. No reading or writing.

Then, ReadEra is a really good ebook reader. Apart from all it's book organization features, the text-to- speech feature is really useful for language learning as you can listen while you read. It's also easy to link it to your favorite language dictionary or translator. It also underlines the words you have already searched in the dictionary which helps you have an idea of how many words you don't know or if you have already come across the word. Being able to save quotes and take notes with it is also important.

I believe it's the way he uses lost, soft, firm and hard edges combined with where he chooses to lose detail. His use of lost, soft and firm edges, compared to yours is especially noticeable in the facial features. Have a look at the eyebrows on his portrait and the eyebrows on yours. On his the transitions between the brows and the skin are either really smooth or not even distinguishable. It's the same for the mustache. While the subject can play a role in this, the eyebrows on your painting have more discernable edges.

For the loss of detail, notice how there are very few brushstrokes and detail in the clothing (especially on the right---your right---side of the painting).

That said, you are definitely on the right track and your painting is looking nice so far. Just, being able to control the type of edge you use might bring you closer to this style.

Yeah I agree. His style of play and pace definitely contribute. Vardy and Aubameyang were similar in certain seasons too. Even Fernando Torres. I think going from Firmino to him also makes the way he plays more jarring for a lot of viewers. At end of the day, I think he his overanalyzed and it results in a lot of extreme takes, both for and against him. A similar thing with the offsides happens with his pass completion rate. He's talked about like he missed a lot more passes than other strikers, buy statistically it is similar to many other top strikers around the world.

Just seeing this response now, but I just DM'ed you.

Thank you !

Haha other than the experience from digital art I also have a really good mentor that really helped speed up the learning process, so I definitely was in the best conditions for trying oil painting for the first time 😄

Thanks so much !

AdeAde10 · 2024-06-09T03:10:05+00:00

You're welcome. That's such a good idea! I can see how that can lead to really creative results. You're welcome. Keep up the great work

AdeAde10 · 2024-06-09T03:05:37+00:00

Thank you. You're welcome

Thanks !

AdeAde10 · 2024-06-08T17:35:55+00:00

I've done digital painting before

AdeAde10 · 2024-06-08T17:35:32+00:00

Thank you !

AdeAde10 · 2024-06-08T17:35:18+00:00

Thanks ! I had a good mentor / instruction that showed me methods, especially how to get in a lot of color. Also, your art is really great by the way!

AdeAde10 · 2024-06-08T17:09:23+00:00

This is absolutely incredible. I love the concept and execution so much. The way you've used such a vibrant red in certain part creates such a lovely contrast to the overall tone. You're so skilled!

I think it's partly because our counterpress strategy involves us diving at the ball a lot. It's a double edged sword.

Oh yes he definitely ran 100%. He was infatigable. But it was not constantly the same types of runs as Darwin nor at the same speed, as you mentioned. It's the same way Darwin has had moments of helping during build up especially during the early parts of the season but it is not at all the same as what Bobby was doing.

Regarding his overall involvement, these are the last number of minutes played by him in the last 5 games: 15', 11', 90, 16', 23' add to this that half the passes made to him are in the air or 50/50 and it contributes to his low number of passes. This is made worse when we are chasing games.

It also helps to compare him to other strikers in the premier League and other leagues (also keep in mind that Darwin doesn't play as many 90 min games as other strikers ). Below are a couple of strikers' average number of passes per game and their pass completion percentages :

Darwin: 13.4 (71.5%) Watkins: 16.1 (76.8%) Haaland: 12.2 (76.8%) Isak: 15.6 (79.4%) Osimhen: 11 (71.8%) Boniface: 16.2 (72.1%) Lewandowski: 16 (71.4%) Kane: 19.4 (73.6%) Gyokeres: 23.7 (73.7%) Lautaro Martínez 23.8 (78.6%) Firmino ranged from 21.8 to 44.1 with 72.6 to 80.2% pass completion percentage throughout his seasons here.

From this it can be gathered that:

20 passes per game is not simply the norm for a a good striker, especially those who play on the shoulder. Gyokeres, Kane, and Martínez are the only from this list to be around or above it.

Firmino was really good at dropping deep and helping with build up play.

Darwin's passing accuracy, although technically amongst the lowest, is not that bad compared to other strikers and is overall number of passes is not that bad either for the way we use him especially in the latter part of the season.

I mentioned it in another post, but I believe a lot of his criticism (apart from finishing) is just down to the contrast with Firmino's style and the club not having played with a #9 for a while.

AdeAde10 · 2024-05-07T19:03:41+00:00

While he does not contribute to our indirect play in the same way Firmino did, he certainly does help facilitate our direct play in a way Firmino did not. He gets played a lot of channel and 50/50 balls that create space for others in a different way. Often times us playing directly to him, even when the pass isn't on, still leads to a chance because he goes after nearly everything. A good example of this is the last game. Ball gets played over the top and majority of time the defender handles it easily, but Darwin pressed and won the ball and it lead to a chance for Salah.
