Unless space is an issue I'd say just put it in a different folder.

It's kinda fun to look back at the shit I used to admire, and it gives me some perspective.

There's sooo many ripoffs of him, but that's always been the case. There's plenty of guys who rip off Jaime, Mullins, Sparth, Rapoza, basically any famous artist, and you had the same in the past where people copied Frazetta and Syd Mead. Even further back you get guys who ripped off Sargent, and further back you got guys who copied Caravaggio. It's human nature to try to follow in the footsteps of someone who is a hero to you. Most grow out of it in a decade or two though.

>>2705162
they're not rip offs, maybe some are, but let me point out that people can naturally have similar styles too.

>>2705217
Sure it's possible to independently develop similar styles, but the difference between that and someone copying/imitating another style is really obvious. Some artists leave a strong imprint on others when they are an influence. Like it's easy to pick out who looks at Phil Hale a lot for example.

no seriously, why even live? I'm 24 and realizing that even if I pull together the money to go to an atelier A. they're not as good as they used to be B. There's no market so I won't be able to support myself/dedicate all my time to painting. There is no course of events where I will ever be that good.

>>2706845
>There's no market so I won't be able to support myself/dedicate all my time to painting
That's probably true for some academic painting especially genre pictures, but something like landscapes still sell well today. It's a pretty universal subject and is always relevant and will always have a market for it if it is well done.

how long did painting like this take to do at the time ? I can't imagine those paintings taking a few days or even weeks.

>>2715642
Yes it could easily have taken months. For complex historical paintings with many figures it may even have taken years once you count all the time spent doing research and preparatory drawings and sketches. I don't think that landscape would have taken that long though, he probably did a few colour sketches and drawings on location and finished it up in his studio later, but it would require less time than something with architecture and many models needing to pose and get in costume and stuff.

Hey guys I'm looking for this one painting by a russian guy, it has an old orthodox christian man with a hood, he's holding a bucket and resting on a branch, it's older but it almost has that ruan jia low saturation painting style.

I'm like 90% sure this is the painting you're talking about, though it's not that low saturation and the guy who painted it actually just died like a couple years ago and was pretty young so it's not some old master painting.

Your goal is to draw like a retard?

Are quite honestly the 3 most mimicked artists by kids in art schools. Ringling, Savannah, Art Center, Sheridan, those illustration/animation schools.

They are all around 28-34 years old.

>>2722962
Could be worse when it comes to artists to mimic

>>2723030
I mean yea, those guys are amazing but they are so very distinct that the best you can hope for is to be an obvious knockoff.

>>2725032
I don't think it's a big deal if it's young students still in school. Being some other artist's copycat tends to get old pretty quickly if they're inquisitive enough as individuals and have basic self awareness.

>wasting time with cleaning it out
just name the folder ''random 1'', stop saving in it if you consider it big enough, and just scroll it whenever you need inspiration
if you found something else you like, make a folder named ''random 2'' and there you go

>I am currently at random 57, in the case I also have folders which are not random

Let me guess, you're 14?

>>2715662

Monsted was indeed one of the earliest painters to implement chromatic abberation into his pieces

>>2729201
>chainlink brush
Is this a recent overused meme that /ic/ is butthurt about?

>>2700162
This is amazing, who's the artist?

She's someone who thinks is edgy and secretive, but just another 'muh satire' narcissistic attention whore.

>>2730302

If it is I wasn't aware of it. Do you think it looks good?

>>2708969

I legitimately thought he was dead already.

>>2730548
It obviously looks like it the artist slapped it on and called it good. Perhaps didn't know that brush Shape Dynamic settings exist.
