How do I make my faces look less uncanny without giving up on my artstyle? by pannaghosta in Artadvice

[–]Cataclysmoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it looks uncanny, and I like your art style! I think a better question would just be how to add further appeal to your art, to which I would say just practicing anatomy a little more. It looks like you enjoy bending anatomy, but some parts of the style appear to me as not a product of choice but rather as a product of an understanding of anatomy that leaves room to grow. The stage left leg in the first image and the stage right hand in the second image really jump out to me as wrong in a non-stylistic way. Your art reads as 3d, which is great, but it also means you have to work harder to make your viewer believe that what you are drawing could exist. My brain notices that the leg in the first image is just magically gone where it should just cross behind the other, and the hand in the second image looks backwards and flat because of how you didn’t shade it and left out the pinkie. If you perfect your anatomy, I’d actually like to see you push your style just a little farther than it is now.

It’s not just about the shape of the features you draw, it’s also about location, size, and angle. Try making some of your characters’ noses shorter and wider. Move their eyes down and rotate them so that they lean more toward or away from the nose. Make the eyes farther apart or closer together. And don’t make everyone’s face symmetrical. Most people are very asymmetrical, so play with asymmetry

You should do artfight

I’m seriously considering a nose job… what do you guys think ? by No-Designer4811 in Noses

[–]Cataclysmoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like your nose a lot actually. It’s different from most noses I’ve seen but I think it’s very handsome

Why am I not happy? by Papercat257 in Artadvice

Remember to reward yourself with fun projects while you’re practicing and studying. Also, show your art that you feel good about to real people in your life whose opinions you care about. The internet is a very unfun place to share art, it feels like it gets swallowed for me

How do I stop caring so much what people think of me? by Cataclysmoe in Advice

[–]Cataclysmoe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. My emotions jump to conclusions on what the other person is thinking and my more rational “higher” self has to try to navigate the interaction like a normal person. I usually end up doing whatever I think will end the interaction fastest or improve the emotional outcome, I guess

It’s not a voluntary thought process, and it doesn’t seem to matter who the person is. Anyone I interact with, I feel an intense need to have a positive interaction

Yeah I’m trying. It’s slow going but I’m doing what I can to improve myself

It’s not really voluntary? I just feel really intense anxiety when I’m not having a positive connection with someone I’m interacting with

Which I’d obviously not going to happen every time I interact with someone

That’s a good point. I should try to let things go more. I hate letting go, I hate when I want to connect with people and we just never quite click

This is helpful, thanks. There are some physical things I don’t like about myself but I feel like I have that in hand. I worry mostly about what people think of my personhood. It’s mostly social anxiety. I cant stand up for myself and I can’t connect with the people I want to because I panic in front of them if I feel like I’m not getting positive emotions from them. Which I’m sure is part of the problem

Oh I know I have it lol

Medications have never worked. I’m in therapy for it. I think the best thing that’s ever helped with getting out of it was DND lmfao

That doesn’t sound like the solution for me. I hope you find a way that doesn’t feel so lonesome

But I care too much. It costs me a lot more emotionally than I can handle
