Is there a light source we're supposed to be working with?

Alright I'm gonna get all touchy feely on you nosefriend.

Commercially, as a beginner, probably nothing sets me apart, nothing stylistic or technical. I'm just chugging along with basic exercises and occasional little goof offs where I try to apply what I've learned. I hope that in the way I'll find my own language, but for now, it's not anything original at best, or not anything decent at worst.

But for me, it's just mine and I own it. So it'll always be different in my eyes simply because it came for me. Just like baby garbles and gibberish sound are recognizable to nobody but the parents, my art is different cause it's mine and I've nurtured it to where it is now and want to nurture it into something successful and unique.

So the short answer is, for now, it's only different to me, and I hope to develop it to the point where it's different for other people too.

So excuse the gooey bullshit, but I'm feeling good today.

I'll follow by saying that my art is different because I plan to write my own comic with it and as of yet im unsure my art could be recognized within a large enough sample size.

feelings are fine friend!

I was one of those weird kids that drew hundreds of faces and weird shit on my notebook and spent all my free time doing that too since I was a little kid

Not intended to be funny. I'm convinced that other "abstract" forms only exist as other artist's excuse to compensate for their lack of abilities to draw realistically. Most "abstract" art like pic related has no meaning. It takes no effort at all really and is only known because the composer was an aristocrat and generally gained credibility by his nobility, not for any sort of talent. That's how it has really always worked in the art field.

needs loomis

not gonna make it

>>2425371

Why?

>>2425368
Well, you still can make a living without being a marketing whore. You just have to be good enough so people actually cared about your stuff, and not your persona. Sure, you can get yourself to a better jobs with a shittier skill level, if you know the right people and don't feel any shame in self promotion. This doesn't mean that it's impossible to get those jobs by being good. It is slower though. You will build up a network of clients naturally over time, just by being an okay person and having good work ethics.

>>2428112
I guess I do.
Maybe that's why I'm so bad at color mixing

>rare condition

fuck off before everyone on ic start to claim they have an obscure condition as an excuse to being shit

>>2428112
Everyone have it, if it's so bad you can't see, then go see a doctor.

>>2429389
Show us the teachers and student's work first, this will tell much more.
Probably not worth it, I don't see anything there that can't be learned or too hard to learn on your own.

>>2429398

I can't, I'm too embarrassed to post it. It's really awful. Basically picture 90% of it being pretentious self-portraits.

>>2429409
Well, there's your answer. Pick another school or just buy yourself time for selfstudying instead of going to school at all. If you need a school purely for motivation and discipline sake, then try to find real life art friend and just fuck each other up the asses like all the artists do.

It would look a lot nicer if you used the darker paint make out the forms. Right now it's a bit of a mess to look at, but you can make out that it's waves and cliffs if you try. Otherwise it looks like random paint.
So don't consider it finished yet.

Generally people here don't start new threads for critiques, but instead go to a drawing thread or a beginner thread.

while it was loading, from top to bot, and it was showing the top half, it was nice to look at. so I would say using a knife for objects far away, and for light colors is actually good

the bottom half is where I would say it needs some details, ad another layer of objects. this time with something better for details, maybe a smaller knife if that's your thing

tldr: I like the top half, not the bottom one

you should be ashamed of yourself to be so proud of showing this around these parts of town

>>2426957
you seem douchey, fuck off

b-bamp...

Since you're just starting out without supervision and will doubtlessly make mistakes, I would highly recommend taking classes/attaching yourself to an established studio. Molten bronze is nothing to fuck around with, it's not like sculpting with polymer clay and firing in a convention oven to a few measly hundreds of degrees. Learning even just the safety procedures and having a professional helping you through your first few castings will be worth every penny.

What needs to be done to melt that shit, even the process for lost wax casting isn't something I would recommend doing in a private home. You will probably need an outdoor space to work with bronze, or at least a detached shelter/garage which you have taken steps to fire-proof. Even if you have a basement with a concrete floor and are willing to invest in a very good ventilation system, I personally wouldn't risk burning your house down.

Suck it up and take classes. If you can't afford the time or money to take classes, you most certainly can't afford to make a home bronze-casting set up. It is not something you can do on your stovetop.

if you're at fsu today i'm the autist with two laptops out in the lounge

>>2428429
Why do you have two laptops? I can't even bring myself to bring one with me because lugging that around, and my supplies, and my portfolio, and my purse would strangle me.

>>2428460
one for schoolwork and one for professional

my non-school laptop can't connect to the wifi here but I need to it finish work so extra baggage.
