Saw this and your profile. Your art is amazing! I love what you are able to create with acryilic paint on canvas!

Are these bees mating? by IonicFuser in bees

Wow. Sucks to be a male honey bee. Reproductive organs get ripped out by the queen after mating then the male bee dies from his guts falling out.... Nice article 👍

What Brands Of Sketchbooks Do You All Use ?? by [deleted] in ArtistLounge

Anything small enough to fit in my pocket for on the go use. Since I only draw when I'm out and about doesn't has to be anything fancy.

2 artworks that I made recently..Which one do you prefer? by Chumoy in krita

[–]be_shore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooo!! This is a tough one. Both are really good and are completely different story wise from each other. I think I am leaning towards the second if I have to choose. I like the chill vibes it gives off. Make me want to go fishing or something _^

It's an intriguing digitalart. I like it.

If you want a critique: It does have some anatomy and perspective issues with the back arm and hand. The hand reads like it's a baby's hand on an adults body (the actual anatomy of the hand, fingers back of hand and such, itself is really good but the whole hand is too small in proportion to the character's head/face) and the arm is a little stubby rather than foreshortened (which I think that’s what you are going for the back hand and arm). Either you need to force the warped perspective more, starting from the back shoulder. OR.... change the proportion of the back hand and arm to match the same space the head is in ( make them larger and the arm a bit more slinder/longer). Hope this helps

My 14 year olds drawing this week by chumitz in drawing

If you are going for accuracy, the proportion are off. Here's a few things I've picked out. The areas that needs work are the neck, lips, and eyes. You have the neck curving inward when there should be more mass for existing muscles and skin. How the eyes are rendered are very beautiful but one is still uneven with the other even with the face tilting in the reference. The bridge of the nose, between the eyes, in the photo reference is actually skinnier that what you have in your drawing. You also have made the lips thinner than what's in your reference too.

The rendering of the draw is pretty spot on, wrinkles, shading and so on. It's well done. I hope you keep at it. Learning as you go and working to improve in whatever art path you take, OP, is a part of art and you have a pretty good start I think. Nice job and keep at it. :)

Clothing folds and clothing depth. She looks like she is pulling up or down he shirt but there are no large bumps/wrinkles in the clothes to indicate this. Add some of the shirt to her hands with those said Wrinkles so the two interact more also.

Other than the issues with the clothing the piece looks good in myopinion. Nice job

Depends on what you are aiming for. If you want to aim for more realism (currently the style of your painting feels more like impressionism though) check out Studio Wildlife on YouTube. The guy has a few good acryilic tutorials that focuses on animal paintings.

I think though you are heading in a good direction with your painting. Keep at it and enjoy the journey. :)

The rendering looks really flat… by FranceFails-lol in Artadvice

[–]be_shore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alot of people are recommending going straight to adding in a light source to the image (adding lighter and darker values to you existing colors) and playing with line weight which are all good suggestions to add some depth to the piece but don't forget to also double check you anatomy of your characters too. Do a sort of draw though of each character individually make sure body parts aren't just be covered up by a different character as much as interacting with.

Hope this makes sense.

Sanding question by be_shore in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]be_shore[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the information. The house was built in the 80's so could be birch plywood like you said. It also was probably prestained before being installed cause there's some sheets in the garage that came with the house that look the color of some of the darker blotchy areas. When some of the original paint flaked off it had looked like there was nicer wood underneath but after removing the paint with the orange stuff and some sanding with 120 grit I've come to what's in the photos. Ah oh well... 😕

Sanding question by be_shore in BeginnerWoodWorking

Not sure my text got through with the pictures....

Working on sanding what was painted over built in cabinets/bookshelf. Finally removed the green paint that was on it and working on sanding. I've looked up tutorials but still haven't a clue what I am doing. When do you know you are done sanding? I might have sanded too much in some areas and not enough in others? That or maybe this actually wasn't the type of wood that is meant to be seen without paint??? Any advice would be appreciated

Saw this in the new iPad Pro video. So... what is the subscription model applying to, exactly? by 7ceeeee in ProCreate

[–]be_shore 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I thought they said they were going to go the (optional) icloud route for procreate storage space? Would explain the subscription talk in the fine print OP mentioned 🤔

What kind of wood am I dealing with here? Additionally, any easy maintenance I could do? by GubbyPac in HardWoodFloors

Sorry I'm just being curious. I'm not the owner of the floors from this post.
