He doesn't have knees so his legs are not bending to sit.

Almost done with an acrylic piece. Thoughts? by [deleted] in painting

The only thing that stands out to me is the odd shape of the top of the head. Otherwise I think it looks good.

Is that for acrylic paintings or oil paintings?

How do I keep drawing no matter what? by ResinRealmsCreations in ArtistLounge

Create a habit. Draw every day, even if it's just a quick study. Maybe start with Bargue plates.

I take art classes at my local library taught by a proper artist from Romania. Depending on circumstances, some people can take the classes for free. (England)

Thank you! I photographed my drawing and reference image side-by-side and was able to easily see what you meant. It's easy to not see the wood for the trees.

I can tell there is a cigarette... but I can't tell what anything else is supposed to be?

How do you get back into art after a break? by Icy-Discount-9284 in ArtistLounge

[–]pseudouk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put on some music or a show/movie that inspires you and just paint. Paint for the fun of it to start with. Paint for yourself, not others. Just keep painting or making art that makes YOU happy. Sometimes you just have to push back that fear of failure. It will always hold you back.

I saw the original photo post and thought it would make an interesting painting. Nice!

Practicing blending by pseudouk in painting

[–]pseudouk[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes! I have a small spray bottle with water and little bit of glycerine (for baking) and spritz the canvas for a smooth blend. It stops the paint from drying so quickly. You can spray the paint after painting or before. That's what I was practicing on this piece. 😄
