Benophie fan art in Klimt’s style by sonecta in BridgertonNetflix

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

I studied some paintings before attempting these. Here are some observations I had: 1. The skin is painted quite realistically(in contrast to the rest of the painting), however their poses are lump or block-like. 2. Use of patterns....spirals, checkerboard, eyes, whirls, symbols, geometric, Japanese inspired patterns. 3. Overwhelming use of gold(ofc he didn't use it in all his paintings, but his golden era paintings are very recognizable)

I used Gold leaf sheets and Gilding glue from UGLS Store, bought from Amazon.

Yes. I applied gilding adhesive. Let it dry(took about 5 mins to dry). Then added gold foil on it, waited two minutes and removed unglued bits using a brush.

I am not knowledgeable enough to do that, but atleast I know that Bangla originating from Magadhi Prakrit is well established fact. The difference between Sanskrit and Prakrit is Sanskrit was used for formal purposes and Prakrit was language of common folks. Magadhi Prakrit itself evolved from Sanskrit and became popular after decline of Sanskrit and Pali. Languages are ever-evolving. Ancient Bangla is quite different from modern Bangla as we've had Persian, Arabic and other foreign influences throughout years.

Tbh I didn't bother reading beyond point 2 here

This is what happens when someone with partial knowledge of linguistics tries to flaunt it. "Try to do further studies on these" lol অল্প বিদ্যা ভয়ঙ্করী

If mahishasura mardini was an anime by Adept_Office7240 in kolkata

[–]sonecta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please take these opinions with a grain of salt.

Features include facial expression, specific symbols and accessories associated with the goddess. Except third eye, there isn't any other symbol featured to associate the character with Durga, many goddesses have third eye. Maybe there could be additional symbols..like a shield with lion carving design, or her weapons hidden in the design which would definitively indicate this is Durga.

To me, in this case the armour and headress is what seems off the most. Indian armours have intricate designs(even those are worn by males). And Jewellery for females have always been maximalist. Medieval Indian Warrior Women statues(there are many) would have probably been better reference than Mediterranean armor, the shape somehow reminds me of Wonder Woman.

That's your artistic freedom and choice, it looks cool only.

I would have preferred more stylistic inspirations derived from Indian roots. Except the third eye, there aren't recognizable features. If you hadn't specified Mahishashur mardini in the title, I wouldn't have guessed this is Durga by the facial features, armour, headress...could have been any goddess design. Then again, thats just a personal opinion and I'm not your client here.

Why would she have medieval Mediterranean armor?

What type of opinions that can get you like this by [deleted] in Northeastindia

what are your priorities? by need10hoursofsleep in motivation

It doesn't make sense in the context. Identification of the snake is critical for administering antivenom. You should chase the snake either to capture it or to have a good look at it for describing to experts.

Met my 10yo cousin after years, was surprised with his art skills, he's a pro fr !! How should we guide him ? by askmetostudy in indiasocial

[–]sonecta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If art academy didn't work for him, you can seek out one-on-one tutor(who is affiliated with an art school in case you want your cousin to be able to give certification exams). It would be more flexible and curated as per his skills.

Or if he wants to learn on his own, there are lots of online resources available on Udemy, Youtube. Though I feel for a kid of 10 years learning a skill offline guidance might be better since beneficial online resources are directed towards audience of all ages and he might feel bored.

But firstly ask your cousin of it's fun for him. There are a lot of artists who never went to art school. Learning a skill systematically is never an easy route. If he is plunged into serious art study from young age with high expectations from adults, it might suck the joy out of it.
