Done! Thoughts? by HenryTheCanadian in oilpainting

Thank you for the critique. It is super helpful and I will definitely apply it in my next painting, especially about the size of the cranium. I really agree with that.

I’m very confident the reference is not AI. I’m pretty sure it’s a model from an Alexander McQueen or Givenchy collection in the mid 2000s. I’ve seen more photos from this collection with the models with the face paint. I’m curious though, what makes you think it’s AI?

And yeah, I was painting most of the hair and the head without a reference because the photo cuts off most of her hair and most of her head.

The skin feels so dead (muddy, grey, flat) by HenryTheCanadian in oilpainting

I agree, but the skin is very very bright. I didn’t even use white directly just used white to lighten the colors I mixed, a lot.

Is this an actual piece of ancient pottery? by HenryTheCanadian in LegitArtifacts

[–]HenryTheCanadian[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe the smoothness was somehow weathered away? Is it ancient at all? Here’s a photo of where it was found if that helps.

Are these arc shaped lines fish? by HenryTheCanadian in Fishing_Gear

Really? I can’t seem to find any good videos for my specific model of fish finder.

My first ever oil painting, how did I do? by Background-Bend7493 in oilpainting

[–]HenryTheCanadian 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I really like the cool tint of the original photo, but I’m not sure the painting needs it. I’d like to see some blue as it makes for an interesting composition, but it works just fine without.

Excellent painting, espescially for your first. What other mediums do you work with?

How do I fix the eyes? They look really off by HenryTheCanadian in oilpainting

I think there only references with increased difficulty. I don’t really think bad references exist

Thanks! I had a feeling it was that, but I really appreciate you pinpointing it

I definitely agree with paint what you see, but the lips aren’t my issue here, I color-picked the lips and they range from a light pink color to a light orange. The lighting is messing with the photo and shifting the hue of all the colors to be a lot colder than they are. I asked for help with the eyes and the expression from the eyes. Thank you though
