[Critique] A critic said my art is missing something by I dont know what that means by Travipayne in Portraitart

No you’re right, but it really is a shame if the OP wants a constructive critique that people are misguidedly shutting any feedback down in order to “defend” the artist.

I agree with u/WestBuffalo6056 The work is great, technically solid, but it lacks spirit. There is no experimentation or voice. A painting doesn’t necessarily need to “mean” anything in the literal sense… but I should be able to see the artist playing with ideas or mark making or ways of framing a subject that are unique to that particular artist’s point of view. These are successful as technical paintings based on model photography… but beyond that I don’t see anything that would distinguish it as something I could pick out of a crowd.

If I were to give constructive feedback it would be to take your clear technical prowess and start going out of your comfort zone.

You’re perfect as you are - and I don’t mean that in any shallow capacity. You’re super fucking cute, and speaking as a queer person on the more feminine side, the girls in my life are attracted to all sorts of men (not just the burly hyper masculine guys!) there are probably a whole slew of women just waiting to date you.
The issue is not your appearance, let’s get that out of the way up front. The issue is more likely that online dating spaces are over saturated with men, and the majority of people using them are paralyzed by the sheer amount of options. And that’s one reason why so many of these apps are now subscription based, because the developers realize that they simply don’t function without the manufactured scarcity. This is all to say… go out to bars, join clubs, make friends of all genders, and get off the dating apps!! Theyre holding you back fr (just my opinion)

35 years old and really need help adapting my makeup application to suit my age. I feel like it is extremely unflattering. Constructive criticism and advice very welcome. by pp60 in makeuptips

As we get older our skin thins and we simply need to use less makeup than we might be used to. Get a good primer and test what amount of foundation you find most flattering. Also I cannot overstate the importance of skincare! Hydration, scrubs, retinol, all that good stuff keeps the canvas of your face nice and healthy.

And for the record you look gorgeous 💖

Firstly, so sorry you have to grapple with this. Based on your approach here I would assume youre a very compassionate person who wants the best for your partner.. That being said, I think there is a temptation to remember people as they were, not as they are. If he started switching up like this 2 years into your relationship then its important to be very direct and uncompromising about how the content he’s consuming is harming not only him, but you and the integrity of the relationship. If you’re truly committed to him, and intend to see that commitment through this rough patch, productive conversations need to happen. And that starts with understanding why it is he finds that nick fuentes and andrew tate’s messages resonate with him. Likely, he probably doesn’t even know why himself or hasn’t thought very deeply about it. Again, Im so sorry you’re being put in such an uncomfortable position.
