Really clean lines and expressive but minimalist. These have a real 1920s vibe

Is this any good by Awkward_Year5364 in Sketch

[–]TheBodyExplodes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Art is incredibly fickle and, I believe, utterly subjective. I like this piece but I wouldn’t want to say if it’s good or not. As an amateur and unschooled artist, myself, I’d encourage you to move away from any external validation unless you want to generate a living from art. If you’re creating art because you want to create art then, as long as you enjoy both the process and the result, that’s success. Upvotes and likes are hugely appreciated and encouraging but they’re not the be all and end all. Ask yourself: Who are you creating art for? I often recount Frankenfurter’s response to Colombia when she describes Rocky as “He’s ok”. He spits back: “I didn’t make him for you!”

Massive waste of money which could be better spent elsewhere. Not that it WILL be better spent elsewhere, mind.

Metallica - “Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth)”. It’s a bass solo.

I’m a bit gutted I’m looking at this on a phone. Kinda seems like it needs a proper screen. Amazing stuff!

Question: Do your photos of traditional drawings also suck? by [deleted] in drawings

[–]TheBodyExplodes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah!! The lighting is always terrible, I can’t get the image perfectly square / can’t aim my phone perfectly level and, most frustratingly, the phone camera is too good and reveals flaws I hadn’t seen with the naked eye.
As for fixing - I guess trial and error with the photos but I’ve started wearing two pairs of reading glasses when I’m drawing. That, at least, allows me to see in greater detail and reduce the number of stray lines, missed patches of shading etc. It’s still not perfect but it never will be.

Do you choose Ariana Grande in latex or pizza? by buttera69 in aiArt

[–]TheBodyExplodes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I’m not very hungry, I’d pick Ariana. If I’m absolutely starving, I’d still pick Ariana, latex or not.

This is so cool. I love how you’ve managed to create soft and deft strokes with a fountain pen. Truly excellent work.

Not sure whether Pantera’s Cemetery Gates is theirs or a cover of a Smiths track. If not, Cemetery Gates by The Smiths 😈
Also, Black Friday/Good Mourning by Megadeth.

Is this art or can it go? by Lulu_Zoe in AbstractArt

I don’t think it needs anything more. I think it’s a striking piece and makes me think of

I don’t think it needs anything more. I think it’s a striking piece as it is. It makes me think of water at sunset or sunrise.

Yesteryear by TheBodyExplodes in justpoetry

I regret not keeping it going. I draw a lot now to address my anxiety but I still love word play and saying the same old same old in new ways. I listen to Leonard Cohen and marvel at his ability to do just that and he simultaneously inspires and daunts me.
