What's a controversial statement that could make artists go up in arms to?

im kinda planning on ruffling some feathers in the art world

28 Jun 16:41

OtherMuzz

--

But the focus is on draftmanship which lets me detatch it from most of that stuff anyhow

28 Jun 16:41

OtherMuzz

--

I also want to use it as a forum for debate, and discourse. Not the usual, anything goes in art sort of thing

28 Jun 16:40

OtherMuzz

--

Yeah that is a lot of what i want to talk about. How learning art is probably more about reinventing yourself and challenging and actually changing your approach than it is the practice itself

"The great irony is that of all the things that an artist or designer needs to learn, the ability to objectively self-criticize their own work is probably the most important, and yet up till now that’s the one thing I’ve NEVER seen a tutorial in either a magazine, video or book format teach.

28 Jun 16:25

Brian Hermelijn

--

"Group" part is something I have been trying to cultivate for quite some time now that scott's speaks about

28 Jun 16:24

Brian Hermelijn

After watching that video, I can see now why you said that.

28 Jun 16:24

OtherMuzz

WTF is a concept art site doing recommended this to anyone? There are no fundamentals here, just copying a "manga style".

Shitty even for high school.

The spectral form of Feng Zhou just whispered "high school art" in my ear. XD
