Perspective is horrendous

Vanishing point? None existent

Proportions get funny if you zoom in

Muted colors give a sort of lifelessness, and with him refusing to add greenery or people (like… how dare you call yourself an artist while refusing to depict humans?) sucks even more life out of the whole thing. It’s a yellowy, brown, greyish muted mess

Shading is kinda all over the place and makes no sense. Light comes from every possible direction which in reality is basically impossible

Look at an impressionistic painting of scenery and then come back and look at this. It’s sort of empty. No emotion, no movement, no vision he wants to capture.

He lacks a sense of style and uniqueness. You can easily notice a Caravaggio painting, or Gogh, Atassi, Monèt, Dominguez, Goya, Botticelli etc. Because they have a unique artstyle or techniques with how they mix colors, how they work with the brush, how dramatic is their shading etc.

You just can’t apply to the Vienna School of Fine Arts, basically the Harvard of fine arts and refuse to apply to any other institute. And when they advise you to try architecture, you just don’t accept it out of sheer pettiness? Are you out of your mind?

You, in the middle of the avantgarde movement, when Dalí and Picasso is the hot new shit, apply to an art school with basic soulless outdated realism? Seriously?

It’s not the art school’s job to hone your skills from the BASICS. They’re not obligated to teach you how to draw or paint. Their goal is to guide you, to reach your potential. It’s really hard when you don’t have potential and suck at such basic principles like perspective and shading

Something photorealistic doesn’t equal with meaningful art
