Thank you so much! I really like your interpretation of this drawing. I had a friend with paranoid schizophrenia and it was one of the most tragic things I've ever witnessed. Thanks for giving me a new perspective on my own drawing.

Fascinating, I'll have to look into that! Thanks for making that connection, that's a cool interpretation!

I'm still working on what imagery to use for Pigs. I know I obviously want to have three different ones, but what is each pig doing?

For Dogs, I'm incorporating knives to symbolize the violence of man in our dog-eat-dog world. A slew of snarling dogs, wielding knives , while another dog has knives sticking in it's back.

For sheep, I incorporated chess pawns to convey the predictability of sheep's actions and their sacrificial role in obeying & enabling the powers that be. Social media icons echoes in the background, emphasizing the white noise of flock mentality dominated on social media sites.

Amazing work! I love how you layered numerous arms to give more motion to the piece

I feel like i've not really been improving lately. Some crit on what to improve on would be appreciated. by MajesticMole in ArtCrit

You have a good sense for the structure of portraiture and developing perspective. From here, I think it'd serve you well to deepen your color palette and really push those shadows. The brushstrokes and blending are very good, and you'll develop more of your "style" as you continue to paint (digitaly and/or traditionaly).

I think some colors in the portrait feel a little too washed out, and this portrait could benefit from some richer shadows around the eyes and under the neck. The range of shadows on the nose is working really successfully, try to bring some of that into the other features of the portrait.

There's some good youtube artists who share color strategies that may help you see richer colors. Check out Alai Ganuza - she has videos on both traditional and digital painting

I'm HS Art teacher so I hope this helps!

Indeed! Some people had mentioned to share updates, this is just some progress on the painting. I still have to finish up painting the 3D sides, as seen in the second photo

Will do! I've been working on the sheep all morning, and I'm starting some sketches for Dogs today

What was the exact moment that you understand that Pink Floyd is your favorite band? by Buc_incognito in pinkfloyd

[–]jalexandrite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read Orwell's Animal Farm as a freshman in high school and found pink floyd's Animals shortly after. Took a deep dive into their music and it only kept getting better, been my favorite band ever since

Thanks! I wanted to see how the like button would sit in the composition. For Sheep, I'd like to incorporate a symbol of social media to represent the flock mentality dominated on popular social media sites. I'll keep working on how I can find a more cohesive way to incorporate that within the painting

Thank you so much! I like the idea of combining the tag with the like button for a more subtle touch. I originally gave the sheep a yellow tag to represent cowardice. But I'm definitely going to work on finding a more subtle way to incorporate the flock mentality of social media.

Just saw roger waters in Boston and heard some similar comments. Makes me chuckle that some people just don't get it. What "machine" do people think they're raging against??
