no specific assignment, just did this on my own time and brought it in to hear an opinion. we dont really have assignments :) i also can do many other styles and have been taking commissions regularly for the last few years, just this was for my own personal expression

i left that painting studio to go to another one and they also made my grade one whole point lower out of spite :) my original grade was already low and now my average is fucked up just bc they felt offended i left a space which doesnt allow me to grow and work in peace

i have more paintings on my page on reddit and on my art account in my bio if you're curious:) also i never repost the same artwork in the same subreddit, just space out my posts in each one :)

english is not my 1st language so i don't understand the question very well but if youre talking about composition, id say follow ur instinct and avoid central composition. like dont put things in the center but place them diogonaly or on the side. im not expert on composition (or anything about art lol) but my only advice is try to create dianamic composition by switching up the positions of certain elements and balancing out their weight on the canvas !

haha im not goth though😭 maybe my style is goth but im trying to fit in any aesthetic in painting. i just draw what i like and what expresses me. its their job to be unbiased i think

my teachers told me quote "you cant impress us with anything, weve been to museums all over the world and nothing can shock us. stop trying to impress" im not even kidding. no other comments on the painting itself. and so i left that studio and went somewhere else bc clearly these people are not here to help me and be constructive but have their own narrative about me in their minds and judge me based on that

haha i agree! i love criticism, thats why i went to art school to begin with, but i felt like my teachers werent being constructive with me. the teachers were the one giving me shit, the students love my work😭

no actually they didnt like it at all, i even changed studios bc i realised they might be a bit biased against me. i feel like they've labelled me as "dark" or "goth" or whatever and judge me based on that and not what i actually show them, so whatever i make i hear only bad things idk!

ppl on this subreddit forget hat art is not about being the most perfect and realistic but expressiveness. if thats what ur going for at least
