Rottenpocket: Thanks, i actually kind of avoided those artists when i found them out of this strange envy... I came to discover today, my biggest problem is just lack of technical skill, I don't really think it's the content of my work holding me back, that's gonna look however it looks, but sure; I definitely think it will head in the direction of those guys, especially after today.
okay so, i woke up today to a private message from someone who wishes to be unnamed, and well, they took a big risk in what they said to me in the form of critique. It was very blunt, very honest, and not very specific. But it was right. I was very interested, and not the least bit offended; it was something I'd wanted for a long time, but finally got it today, and i consider myself lucky in that regard.
I'd like to give a big thanks to that person, they know who they are. I'll leave you with this quote from a book they reccomended, then I'll have ya know I'm gonna be doing quite a few of these long form figure studies until they start looking "correct."
"As will be explained later, in connection with academic drawing, it is eminently necessary for the student to train his eye accurately to observe the forms of things by the most painstaking of drawings. In these school studies feeling need not be considered, but only a cold accuracy. In the same way a singer trains himself to sing scales, giving every note exactly the same weight and preserving a most mechanical time throughout, so that every note of his voice may be accurately under his control and be equal to the subtlest variations he may afterwards want to infuse into it at the dictates of feeling. For how can the draughtsman, who does not know how to draw accurately the cold, commonplace view of an object, hope to give expression to the subtle differences presented by the same thing seen under the excitement of strong feeling?"
