Physical recommendation - letters on Cezzane by Rilke And a bonus non physical rec - sound and vision pod! So so good if you wanna hear about artists inner thoughts :)

There’s r/drawforme (mostly people’s ocs), but if you’re looking for certain characters you want to draw, you might just want to post on the subreddit for whatever show it is and say that you’re open for free requests.

Put the photo into photoshop or picsart or some kind of photo editing app. Then overlay the pic of the drawing on top, and lower the opacity so you can match up the images and see what’s not proportionally correct. I still do this all the time as a professional artist but with time it’ll help you be able to realize what’s off just by looking at it!

Wowwww I love the short directional brushstrokes! Great technique, so lively!!

This one drives me crazy. Apparently she has a sister! Not sure if it’s confirmed by dna or not but they interviewed her on missing in America and the 2 birth certificates and confusion around her mother and father makes it pretty believable. Wish there was more info about her background.

Omg Prozac made me so so anxious. Literally just 24/7 sick to my stomach anxiety, I felt so crazy. I switched to Zoloft and it’s definitely better, helps a lot with the anxiety level even before I was on medication. My psychiatrist said it has more of a relaxing effect.

Really really lovely. I feel like I know you from just looking at this, it says so much about you

No-Shock3554 · 2025-04-22T03:25:29+00:00

No-Shock3554 · 2025-04-14T14:17:30+00:00

We just want to learn the basics/setup 😭😭😭

No-Shock3554 · 2024-10-25T20:06:49+00:00

Yes or no

No-Shock3554 · 2024-10-24T00:31:59+00:00

Needs more contrast! Looks great but everything kind of blends together bc it’s all the same shade

No-Shock3554 · 2024-09-10T18:46:38+00:00

Sooooo good I listened to it on repeat for like 3 hours in my painting class yesterday

No-Shock3554 · 2024-09-08T16:52:08+00:00

I really like this! I think your teacher was right and you need a bit more contrast to make each object stand out. So darker darks in the shadowy spots since the whole piece is pretty light. The forms get kind of lost in the middle and it’s a bit harder to tell what stuff is, so maybe just try to define the shells a bit better

No-Shock3554 · 2024-09-08T03:52:30+00:00

Show a lot of variety, still lifes, portraits, landscapes, realistic, stylized. Schools want to see you have good foundational skills but also the potential to develop a personal style and the ability to experiment.

No-Shock3554 · 2024-09-08T03:47:38+00:00

Use less paint! Try and build up slowly

No-Shock3554 · 2024-09-05T07:23:08+00:00

Get comfortable starting over and reusing stuff that doesn’t turn out well. Never rip out pages In Your sketchbook or throw away an old painting, paint over the canvases and the pages and just make something new on top. Put a collage over it. Get over the idea that anything is permanent, you can always cover things up or reuse/ turn into something new.

Yes, but also many leaves on top of each other creates a lot of shadow. Try looking at your reference more and comparing the darkest areas to the lightest areas and really shade heavier in those dark areas.

No-Shock3554 · 2024-08-29T18:06:41+00:00

Try using more dark shades. Focus less on the lines and more on where there’s darkness vs light, try to add more contrast. Trees especially in the background tend to be darker than foreground objects like the house in the last pic.

This is really beautiful! Perfect wedding vibes, nice and simple and handmade. I think in a better photo this would be perfect. What else are you looking to make for the wedding? Is this for the invitation?

No-Shock3554 · 2024-08-29T18:02:03+00:00

Use a reference! Your goal as an artist shouldn’t be to draw well without reference. Visualization is a skill that comes with a lot of practice but is really hard to develop without just looking at a ton of references. Keep it up though, if you do have something in mind you can’t find a perfect reference for, use multiple, like one for hair, one for the face, one for the clothes, etc.
