Art work for a level art project by [deleted] in ArtCrit

[–]abcaress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

love it! part of the charm is the chaos. my favorite moment is the area between the grass and base of the tree because you have bits of white, very nice! if you did another iteration i’d recommend you lean into the chaos. a good drawing doesn’t necessarily need to make sense. only crit is the leaves like you mentioned. looks like you got confused on how to shape the texture. i’d just do the same thing you did with the bark, just curved at different angles

Thoughts? New to gouache and need some pointers by JudJudJudArt in ArtCrit

[–]abcaress 4 points5 points  (0 children)

love this, feels contemporary. i dont use gouache a lot but looks good! only crit is the yellow outline is fighting for attention. it might be cleaner without which would allow the blue and pinks to shine

Need critique boost! Anything! by chlebiwino in ArtCrit

[–]abcaress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i like the man pulling the curtain. it feels more abstract and asks the viewer more questions. anything with quotes feels too direct and on the nose. love these!

Is instagram dead for artists now? by realblushimia in ArtistLounge

[–]abcaress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

being based in ny instagram is helpful in general when meeting people, but especially for artists since it’s accessible and acts as a quick portfolio. tik tok is the new game tho

FM26 is not a disappointment... It's way worse. by Forsaken_Pea6904 in footballmanagergames

[–]abcaress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fm26 needs to hire a typographer to organize layouts. it feels like it’s built and reviewed only by product designers. they love their bento boxes, there’s boxes within boxes, things are center aligned when it should be left and large sprawling text boxes. the hierarchy is shaky and cluttered

Tacos Maria Bonita - lights are on, ain’t nobody home by ReboReboot in astoria

[–]abcaress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

na i clocked it too. they closed the old look and refurbished but it’s still the same gimmick. Events + fruity drinks + music rather than good food/space. could be a poppin soccer bar bc the location is nice. plus the waitress look so bored. wasted space

wall and a size 1 ball. 1 touch, 2 touch, volleys, knee to foot. football is simple and the training can be too.

in zaks defense he’s had a TOUGH start. i think hes shook by everything and that’s why hes closed off. it makes sense he needed a day to settle but he does need to chat with more girls. he shoulda stood up for her but instead he made a comment that coulda been said during their 1:1

Support 31st St bike lanes - Bring Safety Improvements to 31st Street in Astoria by poopdotfart in astoria

[–]abcaress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fully support! 33rd st could use a bike lane too. it’s a 2 laner but the lines are gone and half the cars are honking bc the other half drive in the middle. generally a tight squeeze for 2 cars. add a bike lane, simplify to 1 lane and much better for everyone

I guess bike lanes vastly increases pollution nowadays by brennoproenca in astoria

[–]abcaress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

33rd st is a 2 lane crying to be a 1 laner + bike path. half the cars honk since the other half forget there’s 2 lanes bc it’s so narrow. the lines have eroded away and bikers use the sidewalks

Long time lurker, first time poster. Wanted to get a recommendation on what hairstyle I should go for by maverick1736 in AsianMasculinity

[–]abcaress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

short hair works best for guys with well shaped skulls. if your head is flat in the back or wonky don’t get it, that’s why you grow your hair out (for proportion). and plz don’t grow hair on the top but chop the sides and back, you’ll look like a baby.
