beauty is in the eye of the beholder
>>2806001
>>2806947
C'mon anon. We are artists
Are you gonna tell me you don't think there is objective beauty?
>>2806956
you are not as smart as you think you are.
>>2806957
There is such a thing as objective beauty because it is tied to our biology. We have always found symmetry and certain facial relationships attractive. At the same time there is also the aspect of cultural variation where certain aspects such as big behinds are more praised in certain areas. There is no conflict between these two. If you think beauty is completely arbitrary you are brain washed by post modernism.
>>2804010
Love food art.
>>2803678
all of that effort to paint a girl that isn't attractive.
fucking lol that's what you get for needing a model to paint a face.
>>2806968
Either certain object can be structurally appealing to the human mind, and are in that sense objectively beautiful. That assumes that humans are pretty similarly wired and thus like similar stuff.
or
beauty is social construct and as such subjective.
It cannot be in the same sense objective and subjective because those terms are exclusive of one another. We might have 2 different concepts of beauty, one cultural and one "biological" but that doesnt mean the same concept is at the same time objective and subjective.
I feel stupid for arguing on 4chin about the semantic of aesthetics. Btw, I am not the "beauty lies in the eye of the beholder" idiot
>>2806980
>social construct
Getting tired of hearing that word
>>2806980
>I was only pretending to be sexy and gorgeous
>>2806980
Think of it like food. There are cultural variations and people have different preferences but there is still a logic to why certain foods are generally perceived to be better tasting than others. Nothing is purely nature or nurture.
>>2807000
my point is that nature and nurture bring about 2 different concepts of beauty, no one concept that is both objective and subjective.
>>2806980
Sure, empirically speaking there are aspects of what we think of as beautiful that are culturally determined, but whether or not you believe beauty as a concept can be reduced to those things is a metaphysical question.
Beauty relates to our structuring of the world into what is and isn't true true or right. Something is seen as beautiful either because we feel instinctively that it expresses a truth, or that it portrays an ideal of how things ought to be. The question whether or not beauty is subjective essencially boils down to whether you believe that true/false and right/wrong are social constructs, which is to say, whether you believe in an objective or a subjective reality.
>>2806947
R-really?
>>2807015
>Something is seen as beautiful either because we feel instinctively that it expresses a truth, or that it portrays an ideal of how things ought to be
Whether something is beautiful and whether it appeals to us aesthetically has not necessarily something to do with deeper "truth" or meaning.
I would argue we don't know why something appeals to us, we try to rationalize and make up reasons after the fact, but at no point can one know for certain why they like a certain painting.
Kant said (roughly) that the structure of the object in question in some sense appeals to the structure of the human mind and that this constitutes beauty. That seems reasonable for me. What in the structure however exactly is appealing to me, I have no idea.
>>2807017
>>2807024
Kant had some important insights, but his philosophy falls apart the moment he tries to make the leap from analytically-descriptive to analytically-creative. His concept of ethics is just as flawed as his aesthetics, and Schopenhauers critique of Kants conception of space and time, which seems pretty spot on to me, shows that these problems already exist in his metaphysics.
Your comment also reminded me that this video exists:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7M-cmNdiFuI
>>2807042
Yea, all in all, Kant just doesnt work, nobody is disputing that. I was trying to reconstruct some of his good points. This idea that beauty is, how the structure of the thing appeals to our structure as humans for example sounds, though not all that useful, reasonable to me.
>>2804009
not to comment on the painting, but i've sometimes noticed these colors on the edge of some shadows, rarely, but I did, what causes it ? is it just the edge of the shirt that let some light pass through or something ?
>>2806940
those characters are too close, it feels so out of place
>>2806916
>>2803678
This isn't that good at all. There seems to be little understanding of structure, it's a mess. wtf is with her boobs?? It's literally just a thin line.
>>2807112
Subsurface scattering, the light kind spreads out under the skin and makes that glow, usually orange and more visible in ears and nose, leaves and other thin surfaces.
kinda like it does on the ear

He applied the kr0n filter
>>2807431

>>2807365
>>2807112
That is not subsurface scattering. That happens when light passes through an object or diffuses inside an object that is not opaque. Skin is pink because of subsurface scattering but this is not it.
This follows the edge of the shadow, and its not because of the surface. If you have a strong directional light you get those cast shadows. Everything not in the shadow will be lit more than half tone and get lower saturation, and the shadow also has lower saturation. You can get a stronger saturation along the cast shadow's edge because it's closer to half tone. If the more diffuse the edge becomes the more gradual the gradient becomes. Most of the time you do not notice it strongly at all.

Dunning-Kruger is one hell of a drug
>>2807456
>>2807611
i am 100% sure that it its not light diffusing through a non-opaque object
diffusion is the spreading of light due to a non-even/flat surface, e.g. a matte surface
this however is due to diffraction of light. since light has wave properties due to the wave/particle duality, light bends around corners or edges. an example would be how you can see light from the sun around the corner of a building even though the actual sun is not in front of you.
as such, the light shown on the skin pigment has a high saturation and it looks more 'burnt'

>>2807365
>>2807456
>>2808325
except its neither. its just a shitty meme and doesnt make any sense. The red tint goes from the leg to the swimming suit, so its not subsurface scattering. it also goes from core shadow and then inverts when it hits the suit. its really just a shitty understanding of what sub surface scattering is and knowing where your shadows are, and that artist obviously knows neither.
>>2809188
I didn't ask for memes, just tell me his name.
>>2809848
Normally I don't care for that sort of shit, but that is fairly interesting.
>>2809916
Personally I would assume it's meant to be light diffracted by the edge of the fabric. Doesn't really make much sense being so exaggerated though, as it's quite a subtle effect in real life.
>>2809924
It's literally Loomis you dumb fuck. If you spent literally half a second to reverse image search you'd find out.

fuck off ferri, that leg is horrendous and making such claims on an anonymous person is pathetic
>>2810007
He's very good at cars and ortographic-style perspective, but it gets pushed a bit too hard and appears flat and photograph-like. Colors are always dull, everything kinda gets rendered the same, no vibrancy or stroke variety. I'm a fellow swedecuck btw, and know plenty of folks who worship him, never any distinguished or interesting artsy people, just nerds and gamers

>Doesn't really make much sense being so exaggerated though, as it's quite a subtle effect in real life.
w-what?
>>2809916
Why do you people assume artists go for a practice in photorealistic rendering and accordingly fail if it is not that?
The artist exaggerated the effect, because to them, and others too, it is aesthetically pleasing.
And I think this anon described it best >>2807456 , though I don't see how sss is not involved in this. The halftone can only be this saturated because of it.
>>2809848
The direction used to place the dollops of paint makethe waves look backwards which is a shame.

i started following this guy on instagram when he was doing a lot of stuff in ballpoint pen
pretty cool stuff
>>2811511
Judging by the visible distinct brushstrokes on the edges, I don't think it was done completely in black and white and then colored.
I'm familiar with his gallery though and he often posts a lot of different, edited and tweaked versions of one image, so he plays around a lot with blending mode and changing colors.
So it's probably both, direct painting and editing/overlaying here and there.

What i meant was this kind of thinking encourages justification of low quality artwork as something you "just don't get". Subjective in art is fairly new concept, and didn't really exist pre 20th century, it became merely a toll for galleries to produce artwork with low effort for richest fucker to invest their money in, simply to avoid taxation.
