How big of a deal is ego with getting better at your art?
I've found that some of the worst artists in my class have some of the biggest egos around and are incredibly touchy if you give any kind of advice, actually, most art students I know are like this to some degree or another.
On the other hand, most professional artists are humble to a sometimes disingenuous degree, I'm not sure how much is genuine humility and how much is just to avoid looking braggadocious.
In my view you have to come to terms with considering your work as mediocre or average at some point early on in your progress or you'll never be able to see what's wrong, and consequently, never make it.

In my opinion, It's not about their ego. It's about their attitude. Everyone has to have some flaws and mistakes. It's unavoidable; no matter how skilled they are. and there's two ways of dealing with this. either work hard to improve, or ignore it.
That why most of pros always tries to see criticism as... well, criticism. because their main focus is to improve. not reinforce their feeling about their problem. however, some people just fail to see that. they react emotionally, cuz that's exactly how they convey their flaws.

The more humble (i.e. beta) you are, the easier you take it in the ass when it comes to critique. You git gud in attempt to stop the d/ic/ks blasting your boipussy.
Its really just a way of dealing with it [social experiment]. Either ignore everything or succumb to the mighty d/ic/k (following which you baptise yourself with the sticky and turn into a humble, obedient cumslut). 'Post your work' is also a device used by those who feign ignorance but never get good. Pick your poison

This has nothing to do with Artwork nor Critique.
Go ask Work Safe Requests, or maybe Int

Do you ever "embellish" a portrait by getting rid of acne, scars, uneven pigmentation, etc... I don't mean anything too noticeable, just small touch-ups?

Your goal should be to capture the likeness of the model, not a snapshot of minute surface details - especially acne which varies day to day.
Minor imperfections would have to be very prominent and defining to warrant inclusion in a portrait, and even then it seldom improves the piece.

That makes sense, anon.
I'm asking because I got a commission from a woman in her 40s that I'm acquainted with enough to know she's self conscious about the slight droopiness on her cheeks (because she's a bit on the chubby side) and two semi-dark spots on her face.
I'm very conflicted on this.

hi /ic.
i´m sure some of you know what is shown in the picture. does anybody know which artist actually painted this piece of blotter art? and when has it been on the streets for the first time.
no acid thread - i´m just curious about the art.

Respost of the last pic, since it was the last one in the thread and I'd still like some feedback if possible.
>>2348569
The view on the screen is the one on the phone, so yeah, the one she sees is the exact same pic we see. I hope you are trolling, cause if you are not then I'm very stupid and I don't even realize it.

I'm having problems with her pose, making her feel like she's actually in leaning on the floor.

You say she's on the floor, but her pose suggests she's standing and leaning on the wall.

Do you think of your drawings as one of your children?
If you had the power to make your drawings come to life, what would you make?

At a basic level, probably a portfolio and some contact info. It all really depends on what you're trying to provide to the public.

Apple product. Painting on glass.
>>
Requires an iPod to use
>>
I tried one briefly the other day in the apple store. It's quite nice and if I already owned an iPad pro I'd get it in a heartbeat, but getting the iPad and the pen doesn't feel worth it.
I didn't like the feel of the screen (as the other anon said - painting on glass). I dunno if there's any textured screen protectors around which might help.
The software also seems limited, particularly not having an easy way to use shortcuts and stuff.
If I got one, it'd basically become a glorified sketchbook, I don't think it'd be any good for finishing anything. A grand on a sketchbook isn't worthwhile to me.

Pretty simple thread, i would just like to know your opinion on art schools. In the future i would like to be an artist and i've heard some popular artists say that they just wasted their time in art college (I'm talking about drawing and painting). The thing is i feel like a shit, because everyone else plans to go to college(I'm at final year of high school now). I had a vision that i would work in some electro shop or helpdesk or something with computers that doesn't include programming or networking after high school and i would still focus on my art, spend money on some courses and with time i would try to make money with my artwork. What do you think about all this?
