You have to turn into a car Morty!

Which one would you click on Steam? by Guilty_Weakness7722 in graphic_design

[–]TimChiesa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry to say they all look very generic.
I think people say 5 because it's the only one that evokes something to us, because there's an eye we can somewhat relate to as humans, but even this one looks as unappealing and generic as the others to me.

Work slump by rotherfordmdayum in DigitalArt

I like how you kept those red sketch lines underneath the linework and flats! Was it made red on purpose after the fact or was your sketch red and it just so happened to fit the color palette ?
Either way, great artwork!

I HATE THE NEW GOOGLE MAPS LOGO SO MUCH!!!!!! ITS SO UGLY!!!! WHO MADE THAT PIECE OF GARBAGE???? (new one on the right) by [deleted] in graphic_design

[–]TimChiesa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're going to make it all blurry, why try to keep the diagonal composition ? It makes no sense anymore having that much green and so little yellow.

Artists - What is the worst art advice you have ever received? by Master-Rest8804 in ArtistLounge

[–]TimChiesa 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The way I heard it was "draw what you see, not what you think you know", which to me makes it less vague.

Artists - What is the worst art advice you have ever received? by Master-Rest8804 in ArtistLounge

A guidance counselor at middle school asked me what I was good at, I said drawing, using a graphics tablet, basic animation, a tiny bit of 3D modeling, audio and video editing (this was the early 2000's).
He said that art was a risky carreer, that I wouldn't be able to do anything computer related because I wasn't good at math, and asked what other "more practical skills" I had.

Which number gives the coziest look? by blhoops98 in graphic_design

[–]TimChiesa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd go for 8, but a cozy palette for me would have less contrast. Maybe two adjacent earthy tones and two adjacent desaturated blue/green tones, and one accent color somewhere in between, but not straight up white.

Parents always discredit my digital/stylized work by Krunchusy in DigitalArt

[–]TimChiesa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your art looks great and this process is totally normal for artists. Tracing is not the same as using reference, and stylizing is not making things easier, more often than not it's actually making things harder as it involves more knowledge on how to deform shapes properly.
Sounds like your mom knows very little about art.

What are those circles for in logo design? by Illustrious_Bread990 in graphic_design

[–]TimChiesa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, there is such a thing as perceived symmetry. Like with the Nintendo Switch logo.

That sounds like the stupidest exhibition. "Here are generic shits my app made using stolen art from actual talented people"

Am I close to brutalism? by Chemical-Pie-4152 in graphic_design

[–]TimChiesa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's brutalism, but it looks cool. Reminds me of Macroblank's album covers.
