tabloid- Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 alright man thanks for the advice. ive got a long way to go. if this thread is still alive, ill try to put up some new stuff and hopefully you could tell me what you think The craft of drawing is worth learning. But more important....... observation. Paying close attention to the little details in a composition. That's what will make a piece stand out from the rest. You're only 15, you have plenty of time to get good. For perspective: DeKooning used to do something like 50 blind contour drawings a night while watching TV. Picaso did dozens, if not hundreds of studies before painting Guernika. Artists call it 'work' because that's what it takes to get good.

serum Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 gooch i dont really have a clue as to critiquing installation work so i cant really help much. ricecube its fine what you have. its just a sketch and theres not much more besides being a little neater with the font that needs work. but thats more patience than i would have had. hayabusa all your animals are pretty cool. the maya guys remind me of this guy Joe in Japan. the characters look very similar. ill see if i can find a photo. im not accusing you of biting ofcourse just similar style/influence. your cartoon characters are fine but tend to lack a distinct style that would make them stand out. a style that would make it your own testicle monkey and not somebody elses. needs more in the face. bojangles thats tight. i agree i like it better than the abstract stuff. i dont know if you used spray as well but i like that the face has a 'dirty' texture.

Bojangles Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Serum, I actually got the freckles by dusting it with a splattery can of cheap pale orange and then lightly brushing acrylics over it. Good call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reskoner Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 This was the first portrait I've done in well over 10 years. It's nice, but its missing something that makes it stand out. Maybe I am missing some kind of distinct style, or something, but that's completely understandable seeing it's your first portrait in 10 years. However, i prefer your abstract paintings. Those are awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsifdab Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 ^I think there's something odd about the eye on the right..it looks a little large or maybe misshapen..The eyebrow also seems too close to the eyelid. I think it's a nice painting altogether though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawood Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 here's a few of mine. I wish I could get motivated to paint canvases more. Usually, once I get home I'm in family mode and I'm not into painting. maybe I should start bringing canvases with me to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny ballbags Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 damn da... that second one is the hot shit... ill buy it if its for sale.... no shit.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawood Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I don't even have the original anymore. Actually, it's sitting in a tattoo shop in Cambridge. You can either buy the original (painted on aluminum) or I can have a print made for you because I do have a hi res photo of it. pm me...

Poesia [ ] T Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 Tabloid i like the painting technique and your use of color is on point, but something about it reminds me of the Juxtapoz School. Meaning i think its all there it just has to distinguish itself from anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabloid- Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I've gotten " that's kind of Schultz-e" but never Juxt. Either way, the work is almost there; but not 100% dialed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poesia [ ] T Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 You can definitely see that you have taken the time and effort and that alone is respected, its just me maybe but i can flip a page or see a painting and already attribute it to a certain genre like what that magazine has done. Im impressed when i see something where i cant really place it anywhere and that to me makes a piece of art. Although i like the more painterly feel of your work compared to artist's such as Damon Soule, or Jeff Soto. It still strikes a similiar chord.

Bojangles Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hey guys, Thanks for your input on the last page. That's probably the only portrait I'll be doing for awhile. Her actual photo was kind of an obsession of mine for awhile because of her unique features. Dawood nice pieces as well. I think the last one is my fave. What size is it? Here's a few more pieces that are off track from my abstracts as well. A few variations of a mascot for a local company called Big Kid Pony: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsifdab Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Could we post letterforms in here for critique? I know paperchase would be the right section but I don't think anyone would take it seriously in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

defer Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 the collage is beautiful. the contrast between the b/w cutouts works really nice. i think it could do without the exclamations and other embellishments though. the imagery is enough to communicate your idea. it's like underlining something that is already bold. my 2 cents.
