I'm starting to get into the shading process of my drawing. I might finish it this week. I have decided that she is the demon princess of Nreib-Shauul, the Hanging Graves of Hell. There she is worshipped by the lost souls of Hell, who make their pilgrimage to Nreib-Shauul, to gift her with offerings of the ribs of men, which is what her body is made of.

Here’s where I’m at with my current piece. I’ve got to fix the vegetation by the waterfall, finish the foreground, and a few other tweaks and I’m gonna call it finished and move on. I’ve got 30 hours on this and don’t want to dwell on the flaws. Time to start another. It’s all up on YouTube as I live streamed all of it if anyone is interested. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjMTBZQBxws3OhNur0Jqv5A

"Novice artist"

Ok.

2019-09-11 18:24:42 UTC  

@Jun Ha. That hits home because for the first 45 years of my life, I said the same thing.

2019-09-11 18:25:21 UTC  

You got this good after your 45 years old anniversary?

2019-09-11 18:28:03 UTC  

@RhinoMaxTV Because the best I could do in my... I think we'll say 3-4 years of casual drawing is this.

And when I say it's more like once every Blood/Blue Moon (This one is from february.)

The smugness mocks me

2019-09-11 18:35:20 UTC  

It was supposed to be a smirk like "I know whatcha doing there little one." but I'm cool with smug ^^

I started painting in April 2017 while I was in the hospital. They had pastels in the family room and I picked them up and started remembering Bob Ross. I became obsessed but was floundering around without any real guidance. 10 months ago I signed up as one of Stefan Baumann's coaching students. We have one 30 minute phone call per week. I'm going to make a video showing the homework from then till now. I was actually looking at the first painting he made me do which was a simple glass of water. and I can't believe how bad it is. Anyway, the first thing he stopped me from doing was youtube. No how to stuff. His channel is all about what to think about and what to work on. No demo. And it just clicked about 2 months ago. I highly recommend his channel for anyone who wants to improve. And @MS I'm not trying to be smug at all. Just humble as when you compare the work I did with the master I'm copying, the difference is very clear.

i'm refering to the expression

2019-09-11 18:37:25 UTC  

This is called "Sunset Near Arizona" by Thomas Moran.

2019-09-11 18:39:12 UTC  

@MS gotcha. I've spent 30 hours on this painting and have looked at his work longer than that. I'm amazed at how great the Hudson River painters were. Bierstade, Church, Cole, Moran. They captured the American landscape in the most beautiful way.

Generally speaking, anyone at your level who calls themself a novice can seem insulting to those at a lower level. Make of that what you will, it's just something I've observed from when other good arty people I've known have called themselves novices.

2019-09-11 18:54:15 UTC  

No no no... That wasn't the feeling I was trying to convey.

You know how artists can be... Always (and unecessarily) comparing themselves to others when in fact they should be comparing themselves with their former selves who couldn't do much to begin with.

2019-09-11 18:55:28 UTC  

I prefer making fun of it. It's better to laugh that you can't do yet as good as your peer over there than tell yourself that your art is shit.

The artist can be very infantile y'know...

@juryrigging I hear ya. That wasn't my intention. Maybe a better word would be apprentice. @Jun I definitely notice my progress from complete beginner to where I am now. I

2019-09-11 19:11:38 UTC  

You could call yourself a journeyman artist 😛

2019-09-11 19:11:55 UTC  

I've reached a level of competence with certain things however, my drawings are much to be desired.

2019-09-11 19:14:18 UTC  

haha. lots to learn which is why I hesitate at labeling myself an artist. However, journeyman does sound better than novice.

2019-09-11 19:26:53 UTC  

I'll steal that. Journeyman artist.

2019-09-12 00:23:02 UTC  

so people on twitter were complaining about women in art having waists that are too small, by saying "where are her organs" and "how is her back?" so i made fun of them in a song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vo2xa3FTsmA

Its not like men have 'unrealistic body standards' in comic book characters who are stylized and heroicly preportioned...
