No More Negative Artist Memes Everyone Only Positive

What I’ve been working on.

I finished some character designs I made for my Graphic Storytelling class.

I also made a speed paint video to go with this.

A painting made for my Media and Methods class. I had to make a watercolor painting based off a children’s story. In my case, I chose the Itsy Bitsy Spider. 

Why do artists refuse to use references why why why.

It’s not a contest to see who can get by without them. It’s not cheating to look at a thing in order to know what the thing looks like.

You don’t get stronger or better by pretending. Nobody is impressed by the awkward whatever-it-is you just drew. Use references.

This is a painting I made a couple of months ago and I just got it back from my teacher.

The original painting is titled, Seville Orange, Silver Goblet Apples, Pear and Two Bottles Painting, and the artist who made it was Jean-Baptiste Simeon Chardin. His painting is placed after mine. What I had to do as part of my art history assignment is to make that painting and have it look as if it’s a Cubist painting.
