Solitary Pursuit of Realism Edition

>>7781453 (OP)
Anime is a memetic cancer predicated on the basal manipulation of the reproductive signatures of our primate brains. I'm sick of seeing this shit

A woman. Painted in oil in 15 minutes from life, I wish I had a little more time but I guess it's still a good exercise to stop thinking and focus on doing. Still I need to find a place that does longer poses, 1-2 hours would be ideal.

>>7781458
Then kill yourself.

>>7781458
If you are feeling anything about seeing it you are prey to it's memetic effects all the same, if anything you are the biggest victim of it. Just let it go already and stop suffering by your own accord.

>>7781473
you will never be japanese

>if I just ignore it it isn't true!!!!!!

We are talking about the mind here, anon. There is absolute nothing it can not accomplish if you schiizo yourself enoughj, literally nothing.

I'm partially conviced that I probably could call every star down from the heavens and burn out the sun if I tried, I just don't really want to do it because the idea of me actually accomplish it scares me more than me not being able to do it.

In 100 years anime artists will be the old masters everyone looks up to and the likes of Sargent will be considered primitive cave painters.

every day I grow more convinced that focusing on longevity was a mistake

Galkyd gel i very good, use it exclusively for a year or something. But ive never tried the original lead recipe.
Before i tried so much, oil, medium, liquin impasto was decent. I mixed my own mediums with eggs.
But now i just use the gel. It could dry faster. Besides that, its nearly perfect for me.
But i try to use straight tube paint as much as possible anyway.

>>7783092
this guy florent has some good ideas (I like his color analysis, the 60/30/10 rule) but man does his art suck. It's like he's painting cheap 80's action comic books in large format with oil. Ridiculous.

>>7783269
overthinking is positively correlated with sucking, it is what it is
I appreciate the suckbros putting out info on materials and the like
people who can paint are just like "hmm yes, put some shit on it, rub it in or something"

Tell it the reanissance masters, onions.

>>7783295
the renaissance masters were literally calling each other retards for painting in oil and making humans look like bags of walnuts with muh anatomy

What gay ass shit is that, i came here for a taste of the sweet burgerland freedom (tm) but get treated like a goy.

Fuck i get war flashbacks.
I entered an art competition and i had to submit an artist statement and a description of my work. It was a still life.
My body refused to write this shit, it was just too cringe. I couldnt even force myself. It was the first time i used ai for anything other than translation, and the last time.
I googled a Chinese ai i let it write. I had to tell this thing more than once to tone down the cringe shit.
So, no i cant even laugh about this. Its soul chrushing.
Its a humiliation ritual, postmodernist hold a stick and you have to hope over it.
I live in eurostan for a while now. In this fucking anarcho-tyrany dystopia and i know a thing or two about humiliation.
But at least its not North Korea i dont ever have to sing the anthem, i dont have to write a love letter at school to the mighty Manager.
As long as i am a quite little bitch and i pay all my bills, and i dont write mean thing on twitter about my overloards they let me be.
Its a quiet humiliation, i can pretend as if i dont care.
But those fuckers made me hope over the stick. Like a dog. That was grim.
I i would write a 100% truthful artist statement and make it public i would go to jail. Funny isnt it?

Anyone wanna post art lol

>>7783587
I did and no one bothered to respond.
Not falling for that again.

>>7783344
>I i would write a 100% truthful artist statement and make it public i would go to jail. Funny isnt it?
I don't have a website yet, but when I do, I'm gonna write 7 artist statements, all completely different from each other but all of them hitting every single buzzword out there, and I'm gonna have my site cycle through those statements, presenting a different one every day of the week.

>>7783659
What a postmodern thing to do.
>>7783632
Have you asked for critique?

>>7783700
>Have you asked for critique?
I thought by posting work you imply that you want replies or critique.

>>7783704
No, you have to state what your goals are. Nobody wants to waste time to critique a postmodernist, like Brian.
>i painted a harbour
>it looks nothing like a harbour
>reeeeehhhh, i dont care, as long as it looks like AnYthINg
If you express your desire to paint figurative and tell what your goals are, im sure people will help you.

>>7783716
Help?
Some anon said "wanna post art". So I just said, I did but no one bothered to respond, then what incentive is there to post art?

>>7783718
What have you expected?

>>7783718
you're replying to the postmodernism retard
yes, by posting art you are inviting critique, that's literally the sole reason for the board

the image is literally riddled with jpg compression to the point I can't even tell if it's a painting

Last time i mentioned it, the whole tread turned crazy.

>>7783826
what you were sperging out had nothing to do with what I'm pointing out, never reply to me again

It's that good huh?

It's been through snapchat and messenger and cropping, I didn't consider the quality.

I'm the one who asked you to explain exactly what you meant, and I did it just so I could learn. I think you're being overdramatic.

How do you even photograph your shit? I've looked at some guides and they're basically saying to buy an $800 camera

My practice exists at the intersection of trauma, ecology, and post-capitalist healing. Through a decolonial, queer-feminist lens, I interrogate the invisible architectures of privilege that permeate both the body and the Anthropocene. My work destabilizes binaries -human/nonhuman, digital/organic, absence/presence - in order to generate a liminal space of radical becoming.

Drawing from intersectional methodologies and embodied epistemologies, I situate my gestures within the expanded field of social practice. Each mark, each trace, is an act of resistance against hegemonic narratives of productivity and the Western gaze. By centering marginalized knowledges, I aim to unlearn the colonial matrix of power and reimagine a pluriversal future of care.

My installations are participatory yet intimate, collapsing the boundaries between artist, viewer, and ecosystem. Utilizing found materials, recycled narratives, and community-driven affective labor, I invite audiences to decenter the self and enter a dialogic exchange with more-than-human entities.

Ultimately, my work is not about answers, but about holding space - a space of unknowing, of dismantling, of radical softness in the face of systemic violence. It is within this ongoing process of deconstruction that I locate hope, resilience, and the potential for transformative, post-disciplinary healing.

>My practice exists
lol

>>7783980
Im just joking.
>>7783985
Realistically, without spending too much you have to find a place where you get soft daylight. Thats the trick. It cant be direct light and you should not be under the sky, it would shift the colors towards blue.
Avoid glare at all costs.
I have a place with white walls and an overhanging balcony, works perfectly form me.
I have a modern portrait objective with sharp rendering as well, which helps a lot with details.

If you want to use lamps, it makes everything way more expensive and complicated.
>buy an $800 camera
No, if you have 800 bucks invest it in clear glass.
You are making photos of a static object with a camera on a stand. An old, used dslr will work fine.

>>7783990

All of this is just verbal diarrhea with words that hold no tangible meaning. PYW, let that speak for you instead of WORDS WORDS WORDS.

>>7784594
such a fascist thing to say

>>7784653
Cat?

>>7784594
No shit retard. I asked chatgpt to come up with the cringiest artist statement full of ideological cliches.

>>7784664
Getcha, now show me a good one.

From the guy who bought a gallery in New Zeeland and sold 0 (zero) paintings.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyUe_DP7u6U

>>7784735
no, no, no
he bought a fancy historic building in a town of under 500, on the southern island, separated from 80% of the population by water, some 70% of the farthest distance he could get from all relevant population centers

for reference, it takes 5 hours to drive from christchurch to the gallery, one way

>>7781458
Any competent artist can draw a variety of styles including anime. It's not the style's fault if an artist is incompetent.
Stop being a retard ffs.

>>7784688
To he frank ive never seen a good one in my life.

>>7783826
Vermeer avoided JPG compression using his camera obscura and lead white paint.

Soft pencil drawings looks awful when scanned
