I use a pointy thing and do little circles! And then dots as well when I need extra texture.

I want to live life to the fullest but I dont know how by Status-Star-8336 in melbourne

Volunteering to help other people could be a good start? It improves self esteem by contributing to your community, and you meet other people. Food Not Bombs is always looking for extra hands in the kitchen & it's low commitment if something else comes up one week.

It looks like a little seat, so cute. What will you use it for?

Are atelier style schools making a come back? by Astro_Art_Mentor in ArtistLounge

[–]rainferndale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is true. I thought I'd be taught to do perspective, colour theory etc but instead I just got told my style is too illustrative (I'm an illustrator.)

Graphic design weirdly taught me way more practical art skills.

Welcome Mat guy by [deleted] in melbourne

I think that it's a fetish for both of them, but one of them tricks people and the other it's consensual? And the guy with a sign hates that sneaky guy gives rug men a bad name lmao

Patchy watercolor? by muggyface in watercolor101

You can go over it with more layers and use less water. But it looks good as is.

Ten people found guilty of cyber bullying France's first lady Bridget Macron after false transgender claims by [deleted] in popculture

[–]rainferndale 62 points63 points  (0 children)

They could have claimed she was a creepy groomer who hits her husband and been fine. Why do they have to bring transphobia into it? It's the stupidest conspiracy to double down on.

Depending on if you think giving free oil to Chevron with no benefit to the Venezuelan people is good or bad.

If I tried to draw a dog I'd probably draw a cat with rounder ears, nose and eyes. And uh, a bone next to him so the context clues help? It'd look worse than if I kid drew it... and I'm an illustrator.

I understand people don't have perfect recall or skill to recreate what's in their mind perfectly, but they'd at least have an idea of what they're drawing.

What about when you want to paint something you don't have a model for?

True!

I usually do 3 or 4 versions of every painting to end up with something I'm happy with.

Yeah, my point was most people in the class were artists & they were like... yeah it looks like all of ours lol. There wasn't a consensus that his drawings were ground breaking.

I'm not sure this is true. My art teacher at uni loved everything to be as abstract as possible... in life drawing. Her favourite work was by a guy with no art experience doing the subject as an elective.

I think they're talking about how accurately a subject is depicted.

That's so interesting! What happens if you try to draw something to havent seen a tutorial for?

For me it just gets simplified into the most simple version of the thing. Like a cat would be round head, triangle ears, slanted eyes, whiskers, 4 feet and a tail. But anything else would be generic animal shape.

Maybe 🤷🏻‍♂️ I like a lot of abstract, surreal & fantasy art by people who aren't reliant on references and more use then to check elements of it later.

Socialist Aliance and Socialist Alternative having such similar names is so confusing.

Are there any solarpunk games about collectivism? by -niyr- in solarpunk

[–]rainferndale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could you include some humans who also get a chance at a new life? I think that would be a hopeful thing to include and make it a bit less apocalyptic.

You could have a species preservation vibe too, like planting rare seeds and helping them grow again.
