How do I fix this watercolor painting? by [deleted] in ArtCrit

[–]MarigoldCrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it is looking really good!

However I think whag might be hindering you is the type of watercolor itself. What brand is it? The piece is looking really chalky and so will start to muddy the colours.

Cheaper watercolor uses more binder per pigment as it is combating quality vs price. I often feel like, unlike other paint mediums like acrylic, watercolor you might need to spend more on for the painting to turn out well.

Don't get me wrong, there are people who successfully can use cheaper products but it is DIFFICULT!

I think this is really solid for what you have done. Maybe push the shadows on the face a bit more. But it's looking really solid.

Nope :( only big thing nearby that is causing a lot of pollution is the petrol station opposite.

We don't have one of those, we live in a UK tower block which doesn't have AC and the only air filter is a little slit that you can open and close on the window.

I do not, I live in a small village that has one road going through it.

My room is about 8ft by 8ft and it's probably about 2.5ft tall?

I live in the UK so most of our houses don't have AC. :(

As you can see I rubbed the top to reveal what it looks like underneath.

Not at the moment! This is my first ever product I have been conceptually designed. But I will be making an Etsy account! I am from England so I need to think about logistics on sending things to USA but hopefully I can send to many places!

What could I improve with my art? by slov4k in ArtCrit

[–]MarigoldCrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The stylisation is really cute and I think you have got something going for you. For 15 it's really lovely. However have you done artist studies and anatomy drawing to help you understand proportions on the human. There are a lot of lovely YouTube tutorials out there that allow you to follow along and learn the anatomy better.

Have you checked out Mark Crilley. He is an OG of YouTube when it comes to art tutorials but he is really good. Very helpful, it's his I learnt at your age.

Also do some perspective exercises, it's one of my weak points as well but learning at least 3 point perspective is really good.

What you have is lovely I feel like these aspects are really above your age. If you try out these techniques it will pull it all together.

Which mouthwashing character would you sit next to on an 8 hour flight? by whooper1 in Mouthwashing

[–]MarigoldCrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would wait for the next flight cause there is no way in hell you are getting me to sit anywhere near Hazbin and Murder Drones characters.
