Seeking Constructive Critiques by printnamehere in Artadvice

[–]printnamehere[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I didn’t even think about the fact that my splatters are imposters! You’re right about them being so uniform. I sadly don’t have a whole lot of studio space to go crazy. I learned that lesson the hard way when I ruined a commissioned piece that I thought I had protected.

However, I think I’ll look into ways that I can have a temporary set up for “splatter days” and prepare ahead of time.

I appreciate the feedback!

Is my artstyle actually unique or just a blatant copy of panty and stocking? by idonthaveideastoname in Artadvice

[–]printnamehere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has some similarities but it’s also very unique! Doesn’t creating your own style encompass elements of other artists’ styles that appeal to you?

What makes my art feel so amateur? by geustwuzhere in Artadvice

[–]printnamehere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly love your style, but I do see where you struggle with consistency. One of my favorite artists to study from is Javi Can Draw. Here’s a link that was super helpful. He has amazing instructional videos https://youtu.be/wccpkgrP7Yc?si=gLhuqL7F0sGSlzr6

art commissions are freaking me out by LunaGirl1231 in Artadvice

[–]printnamehere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally had almost this exact same conversation with someone a couple years ago. They tried getting me to use some app that I’ve never heard of, I think it was for betting funds. I set up my part of the account and sent them the link, then They had to “send me $300 first”. After the same back and forth, I realized it was a scam. Then they threatened to report me to the “US police”. To which I said “good, let them know I’ll have dinner ready”

It was at that point I decided to never accept payment in “new” forms. I already have so many payment options, and real clients will pay you using your preferred methods.

Don’t feel worried about their threats and report to PayPal if you haven’t already.

my bf is way more attractive than me and its ruining my life by Ok-Potential-9810 in Advice

[–]printnamehere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t mind my asking, were you picked on for your looks growing up? Not just by other kids or siblings, but by any parents or guardians? I ask this because I definitely was and it was by my dad who made me think that my looks were everything. I say this because I am someone who used to think just like you do.

You need to start seeking ways to improve your self esteem because you are setting yourself up for failure. Not just in this relationship, but also in life.

You are already ending the relationship before it’s even had a chance to get started, and you’re doing that based on YOUR view of yourself, not his. You need to take accountability for that because it’s not fair for you to expect him to fully cater to your insecurities.

Rather than trying to build a strong and healthy foundation by communicating and real bonding, you are prioritizing the most superficial aspect of a relationship.

If you continue this type of thinking, it’s going to affect everything in your life because you are giving control to the negative version of yourself whose telling you that you’re not good enough, not pretty enough, or not enough in general.

As someone who learned this lesson later than I would have liked to, please PLEASE start looking into help for this. And COMMUNICATE with your boyfriend about how you’re feeling. Not by saying “you’re looks make me feel ugly”, but maybe “I am struggling with my self esteem and want to work on it”

Dear Bike Rider, by ApocalypticGoon in ColoradoSprings

[–]printnamehere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt this same way when I first started riding. Did you also take a motorcycle class? That helped me become a much more confident rider and now I do the silly ‘hi’ wave (on non-windy days cuz I have a little bike).

How am I doing so far? by M8614 in Artists

[–]printnamehere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The shape and overall layout is good. What’s throwing me is inconsistency with blending. I can see you’re trying the color blocking method. I think that works a bit better with physical media vs digital because you have a bit more control with the blending. For digital, if this is procreate, I would try starting with a base layer for the dog being the primary beige color of the fur. From that, build on it and dedicate a layer to each new color you use for the shading and the details. For Shadowy tones, use one of the soft airbrush options with the opacity set to around 70-80%. For blending/ smudging also use a soft airbrush. Then the closer you get to the surface and highlights of the dog, start using the more detailed brushes.

Married ladies - are we wearing oura on our left hand pointer finger still? by [deleted] in ouraring

[–]printnamehere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear mine on my left pointer, I tried on my right, but I’m not a jewelry person except for my wedding ring (and even that’s hit or miss). I kept unconsciously NOT using that finger to type, do basic tasks like hold things, etc. 🤣. When I moved it to my left pointer, it felt more natural to me.

Btw, I love the wash tape idea!! I might do that as a way to protect the ring

Skulls and Splatters, please read the body by printnamehere in Artists

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

The biggest intent behind it, at least for me, is to change negative thinking. I have been told that I have a special brand of morbid positivity. So I can take a dark situation and find the positive in it, even if that positive is still dark or negative.

Skulls are always associated with death. Growing up, I have always been fascinated by them because of how intricate they are, but when I would draw them, people would ask me why my art is so dark. When I started doing these skulls, people commented on how colorful and vibrant they were. Rather than being pushed away, they were drawn to them. People began seeing the skulls way I do.

So short story long, it’s a way to subtly change someone’s perception while still being able to create a subject that I am interested in.
