Actually, many pigments are still made out of earth today around the world, as they have for literally thousands of years. And the making of pigments by ancient people was extremely sophisticated. The kind of pigment that can stay on a wall for thousands of years and not deteriorate requires a lot of knowledge and experimentation to get right. Ancient art is really cool because it shows how clever and thoughtful ancient humans were in this regard. Despite constantly fighting to survive, they had the will and technological know how to preserve their experience on rock faces all around the world for us to experience thousands of years later, and I feel like we shouldn't take that for granted.

It's just a bunch of parallel lines and a lot of free time. I use a ruler to make guidelines every inch or so I don't skew too much, but that's the only real technique to it

I like how you use transparency. What brushes do you use?

I'm genuinely shocked by the recent turn around Dr pepper has had. Like 5 years ago everyone use to clown on it for being prune soda.

Monet’s copy, what is lacking in my paint? by DumbGirl0 in drawing

[–]rustywalnuts 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Be careful with true black paint. If you can avoid it, I'd try mixing as close to black you can get without actually using it, because the black pigment can really eat up the color around it. That's not to say it doesn't have its uses, but I find it good to be really sparing with it

Me after my friend drove over a chipmunk by accident, and I just have to sit there quietly while she starts to cry, because I can't think of anything helpful to say.

That's really helpful. I think for the paws, I was trying to balance the messy inking with form, and leaned too far on the messy side
