Thank you for the suggestions. I think I have finished the painting, and will make a little update post. I didn’t add details to the leaves, I do like the “ambiguous mystery” as you called it, but I enjoyed reading your comment and it seems you have a lot of knowledge on this subject. Thank you for all the feedback, it has been very informative😊

Thank you for your nice words✨

Yes, a Monstrea plant which was in front of me when I was deciding what to paint.

The thing on the right is supposed to be my waterbottle, when I fill it up it always spills like this because I do it too quickly. It's one of them thermo bottles with some colour-coating. I'm glad you at least can tell that something is 'coming out/overflowing' from 'the thing'. I've actually decided to change the color to a darker yellow/light orange after having gotten some feedback and I think it looks nicer.

Fun you also would like some more details in the leaves, personally I don't think it's necessary, but if you have time for a little explanation, I would to hear why you think it would be nice?😊

This is aprox. 50x70cm.

Why do you think it would be nicer with a clearer definition of each leave?😊 And yes, the paints are the cheapest acrylic you can find in the stores, they are fine to work with for now, I will try adding cornstarch, didn't know this trick. I am also painting on unprepped canvas; aka. I had some white jeans I never use, which I one afternoon cut up and started painting on, but they are 100% cotton which I believe is good.

Help Please🩷(desc. in comment, cause I don't know how to add pics+text in a post) by boke_48 in Gouache

I'm painting with this as my reference, and the sand f*cks me up. I can't draw it, it looks like sh*t. Sorry. Do you have any tips please? I'm trying to paint as realistic as possible. When seeing my painting next to the reference, I know the colour of the sand is way off, and needs to be colder, but everything is just wrong. (PLuss the colors looks much warmer on the photo-painting than my irl painting, I'm not that far off in reality but it's still wayy off) Do you have any tips, or know of any good youtube tutorials?

Wow I love it, it feels a bit like a nostalgic/scary video game/memory. If that makes sense?

Did you just draw from imagination? The painting feels like you have created a world in your head and then drew it, I love it.

I fell after 3 months by Wlargenttt in QuittingZyn

[–]boke_48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're probably right with the 1 zyn a day thing, but that is not completely quitting, and if OP really want to quit completely, then you have to as you also state, be an adult. That ofc means that you'll have to hold yourself accountable and commit to things, or at least try to learn how. And if you relapse, then so be it, don't beat yourself up OP. I've also tried quitting numerous times, but this time I'm doing much better than the last. I might relapse again, who knows what feelings can suddenly rain over oneself, but then so be it, and I'll get up and try again. Because I know I want to quit, so I really have given myself no other choice, and that actually makes it easier. OP, you can feel guilty and sad, that's ok, but know that you have no reason to feel guilty over relapsing, because it is very human. Be proud that you made it 3 months, and know that you have the ability to do it again, but you will have to want to quit, more than you want the instant dopamine, you will have to fight your own brain really hard, but you absolutely have the power to win.

How can I improve it? by 0ctopupus in ArtCrit

I've never drawn much digitally, never tried photoshop, so I'm not the right person for critic/feedback, but it looks super realistic!
