fgt 1,210 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Idk anything about art movements really since I've never taken an art class, but I love Beksinski. But my absolute FAVORITE painting ever is The Flagellants by Carl Von Marr. It's absolutely breathtaking in person. Every time I go to the art museum back home I just stand in front of it forever and stare while my mom checks out the rest of the exhibits haha I even have it as the wallpaper on my computer. >_< Ooooooo didn't expect you to like that sort of stuff to be honest! I like it... and yes, that is a marvellous painting. Yep...HUGE Monet fan. I've seen his work in person and was really impressed by it. The brushstrokes...the use of light..color...Just...perfect. Surrealism is also fantastic though. Good choice. Beautiful work. Carl Marr's piece is gorgeous. The only famous artwork I've seen in person is probably just Van Gogh's Olive tree. It was underwhelming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fgt 1,210 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Haha seriously?! I basically live for morbid art! Actually my mom hates The Flagellants, and when I told her it was my favorite painting ever she got so mad at me like "ALICIA THAT PAINTING IS PEOPLE WHIPPING THEMSELVES TO GET BACK TO THEIR GOD IT'S CREEPY YOU CAN'T LIKE THAT" It's my favorite painting ever just for that reason. Because the first time that I saw it when I was 8 and the guide at the museum explained it to my class, I got so fucking scared. And that was the first time art ever made me feel sort of powerful emotion. So I stare at it today and it's like going back to that day staring at it (when it seemed much bigger because I was so small and that thing is 25 feet tall and yea) Haha yea random anecdote there. O_o yeah.. I expected you to like... pretty stuff? If that makes sense haha - morbid art is love, though ahahaha nawwwwwhhhh... it is such a nice painting though... the technique, composition and everything technical about it is pretty great I don't really have a favourite painting or artwork by anyone... I'm really indecisive :( ---- hello... art prep^ haha (tilt your head) art planning: [spoiler][/spoiler] concept so far (WIP): [spoiler][/spoiler] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fgt 1,210 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I actually really like that it's on notebook paper. It definitely doesn't hurt the piece. This was about 3 weeks ago...I finished the hair but haven't taken a photo of it...and...I'm kind of stuck now...I don't like it! Damn this pencil practice, I'm getting lazy with it already. Oops... http://instagram.com/p/lS5br_DwMw/ In the meantime, I'm playing with my mannequins.

fgt 1,210 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I'm working on a drawing right now (not even gonna bother saying who it is because it's probably so obvious) but it's been taking me forever because I have restarted and reshaded stuff maybe like 40 times. I'm surprised. Usually by now I'd either be finished with it or have given up. I also went home for the weekend and found a mixed media pad I was going to use as an art journal in my room that I still haven't had the courage to bust open. How does one just start one of those things? oo I wonder who it is... and ahh, that happens when you do less and less of it. you'll just need to re-adjust again. I've only ever drawn 6-8 actual portraits, so I'm basically re-adjusting (but learning) every time mixed media pad... that reminds me, I need to buy mixed media paper some time. I'm hoping to sketch up my art onto my canvas tomorrow! I'm on holidays now but I'll basically be doing 5-7 hours of school work each day ehhhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fgt 1,210 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Guys, somebody from this thread has proposed the idea of sharing advice and techniques for our art? totally up for that I'm alright with critiquing as well... but I usually don't like being critiqued unless I ask (because I usually already know 98% of what I need to fix/improve on)... our resident art teacher Ducky should be able to deliver us with all sorts of useful infos :hurr: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fgt 1,210 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I've been told by friends and fellow artists that I'm too brutally honest when it comes to critiques. Apparently I'm mean. *shrugs* I'm not sure you want me to critique. :._.: I can always give pointers though. You all can critique my work though, I can tell exactly what's wrong with it as soon as I'm done with it...but I'd love fresh views and thoughts on it. yeah, ehe... usually I'm just like... 'you're wasting my time, I already know...' but that is true. sometimes there are gaps and when I know there is something wrong but I can't tell, I'll look for advice. or, there are other times when people have such a different view of it they'll suggest something that'll completely render the piece (positively). so I always have to keep my eyes open~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fgt 1,210 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 :chu: :chu: I like making icons. They are nothing special and there is a lot of room to improve but here.

fgt 1,210 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 so nice Alecia~~ such a cool angle I think my eyes keep getting attacted to the completely black parts around the neck though, since the other parts are smoother with tone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fgt 1,210 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Your apple paintings are really neat btw. For some reason the thick one is intriguing to me. I think it's the texture. You guys both commented on the angle, and I find that interesting. :chu: I don't even know I just saw this picture and Seyong pretty much screamed ALICIA DRAW ME PLEASE! But I mainly just wanted to draw his collar bone freckles... The more I look at it, the more I don't think I did a very good job. >.< hehe, apparently the thick one looks like a rotten apple... :s HAHA, nawh. yeah, the angle is nice! usually we all draw just normal, face up portraits. a change is nice it's good,and you can always go back to make changes and what not - no fuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fgt 1,210 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 It's so... I can't think of the proper word I want to use to describe it because nothing seems adequate rn ;A; It's very emotional though! I love the look in your eyes! I...like it. It doesn't have to look pretty, it's reality. :) thanks you two! and yeah, it's just, photoshoots, this and that... so much skin edting is involved. in some instances I understand, but I really disagree with it, regardless of how poor the person's skin is. only minor retouches are allowed for me, because completely editing one's skin is like editing their features (facial, size, etc) and promotes a false image. I was supposed to attach something regarding that to the images but I forgot aha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fgt 1,210 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Photoshop is getting out of hand nowadays. People just don't even look like themselves anymore. I find it interesting when people say "so and so has flawless skin." Uhm, probably not, they're just photoshopped. I had severe acne since the age of 10 (worse than the photo of you), the only "photoshop" I got for my senior year of high school was heavy make-up so that it didn't show. LOL...even now, even though I don't have acne anymore, I have scars and dark spots all over, but I don't give a crap about it when it comes to pictures. I'm old and I just don't care what people think anymore. So I applaud you for this series. A lot of people wouldn't dare post things like this. It's reality though, so no need to hide from it. yeah, my acne isn't so bad anymore. I got teased a lot about my acne as I began to get it at around that age too, but no one else did. life is unfair?! and yup. just seeing the comparisons between the original shots they take for magazine covers and the final product... :twitch: --------------------- @fkjohnny (what's your first name??) - my other friend said that too, hahaha. thank you, you weirdos :lol: <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
