#critiquewelcome — Public Fediverse posts

I saw an opportunity and did a thing. ... Huh. Or maybe it's the "everything else" green triangle: centred but unspecified?

Been painting outside and studying/sketching but it’s all very frustrating and bad results. Here’s another portrait from the archives that I was quite pleased

Here are some portraits I made of another very dear artist friend of mine over the years. I appreciate the time she allotted every time I depicted her so I could come to some sort of conclusion with whatever task or vision I set upon myself. She is herself a very successful painter and I am always baffled as to why she wants to sit for me but I’m always grateful :)

Some more life drawings from today and yesterday. Trying to work more and get to control the medium of charcoal better. Specifically the use of hatching in order to create edge and value hierarchies.

This is a portrait of an artist friend that was so nice to sit for me. Wanted to have some paintings of my friends to hang on the wall but he wanted it very much so I gave it to him instead :). Direct en face portraits are very hard to execute for me and the drawing has a few issues. Looking back it kind of adds to the charm though.

Went outside with a fellow artist today and painted a castle that’s not too far here. It was very cold but I got my gloves and warm clothes. As always, I hoped for a better outcome technically, but it good to have room to grow too I guess :) I am happy about the light effect I was able to create though.

Making the first allaprima portrait painting of the year. I feel very privileged to have a model sitting for this on the regular.

First painting of 2024! I’ve struggled whether to post this but I decided that I’m not a professional artist and as because of that I can freely post things like this too.

I wanted to paint some of the flooding over here at the river and got cold and frustrated quite quick. I think I’ll return tomorrow and paint something else to gain confidence and patience. I feel like these two go together. At least I hope so :$

A pleinair painting of the local church. When I started I was offered coffee by a nice shopkeeper on the street I was standing on. Boneheaded as I am I declined because I don’t drink coffee. Felt bad because I think it’s rude to decline hospitality. Sadly I didn’t see which shop they were from and eventually I packed my things and left, embarrassed.

Posting the head of a young Romanian lad. Was working very academic in this one, both with the limited color palette and the design of lines and shapes.

This is another older painting (starting here gives me much of an archive to post from). I was fortunate enough to sell this one.

Digging around some more in the archive of 2023 paintings, this was another allaprima portrait of a young woman. I’m attending a little portrait painting group and she graciously sat for us.

Happy new year everybody! Here is a tree painting

#pleinair #pleinairpainting #oilpainting #painting #allaprima #impressionism #critiquewelcome #MastoArt #artistsonmastodon

A portrait painting that I liked.

This was my last painting of the year, done in the rain :) it’s not so bad if you’re dressed right. Also helps that oilpaint doesn’t mind too much getting wet

Painting at the edge of a lake

This painting was part of an exhibition a couple weeks ago where it actually ended up winning a prize! It felt very unreal and I was a bit proud. It sold too! :D

Some 3D practice from years back that I dug up for someone recently. I took some photos in the amazing Landschaftspark in Duisburg and then tried to apply what I knew about linear perspective by determining vanishing point etc. Then I just drew the lines. Should probably do more of this.

This is a pleinair painting from a couple years back

For #FeedbackFriday, I wouldn't mind some feedback on the short story linked below. Specifically, I'm curious if you're drawn in, and if you can suss out what the rest of the short story is going to be about by the time you finish the first scene with Elise. (Also I won't stop you if you want to read more!) What I'm hoping to achieve is in the replies below.

Trying to push myself outside my comfort zone a bit, working on a larger canvas with a larger palette too. This is Alex Bone, and he is certainly not based on any copyrighted characters. Certainly not.

Looking for C&C on what I could improve.

I feel I kinda lost it at the face, so I just decided to have fun with it instead.

#mastoart #pixelart #critiquewelcome

Maybe when posting #art, for those of us who welcome #critique for the sake of improvement, we should use a hashtag like #CritiqueWelcome or #FeedbackWelcome.

That way we can considerately apply it towards people who want it, while being considerate of the people who would probably see this and feel anxious.

@tuatarara maybe it's an idea to use a hashtag for it? Something like #CritiqueWelcome or perhaps more specifically #ArtCritiqueWelcome?

Could also create a Guppe group, but I fear that having to rely on another instance/service for it could be another barrier to enter, as well as another potential point of failure.

I wouldn't call myself a professional, beginning nor otherwise, nor do I have formal training, but I wouldn't mind some constructive critique on some of my work. Getting boosts and "that looks pretty" is nice and all, but constructive feedback would probably help more in improving my work. :)

A short #story (or is it a #Vignette?) in-between #ScienceFiction and #Fantasy based on a prompt from Critique Circle about dreams.

It's short, but still too long for a single toot, so I put it on my website: https://albert.aribaud.net/en/2021/04/13/dreamland/

Comments/critique welcome!

@Curator Didn't know if you meant 200 words total or per scene, but I guess either is good as long as something comes out of it.

After looking around a bit, a first draft of my future #satyr #OC #drawing. Much to fix as this is a rough #sketch just to get thjngs rolling, and I haven't drawn for months. Also, got to think up a punny greek name.

Anyway: #CritiqueWelcome

#MastoArt #Art

Hi all,

I'd written this little #story in French quite some time ago, and now here it is in English. It's more light-hearted #SciFi than serious #ScienceFiction but there you are.

This is where you will learn "How the Seirangs did not invade Earth thanks to General Coleman" :

#AmWriting #CritiqueWelcome

Started my vacation activities by revising my Guardian Angel story following the critiques I received at #CritiqueCircle. No major upheavals, but many small fixes.

If you haven't read it yet, or have but would like to read the new version, there it is:

https://albert.aribaud.net/en/2020/07/04/guardian-angel/

Of course, #CritiqueWelcome.

Now onto The Benefactor. That one will have to undergo *serious* surgery.

#CreativeToots #AmWriting #Fantasy.

Alright, so my urban-fantasy-ish short story _The Guardian Angel_ (not sure if I'll keep "The" in the title) is up on #CritiqueCircle for critters to lash, since yesterday and until next Wednesday!

If you're not on CC but want to read _Guardian Angel_, you can find it on my site too:

https://albert.aribaud.net/en/2020/07/04/guardian-angel/

Freel free to comment, there or here!

(Previous submission, _The Benefactor_, was quite fruitful, so I'm hoping this one will be too.)

1st round of #colouring!

'course I'll have quite a few shadows to fix... Starting with the hand(s) and scabbard.

#MastoArt #Art #CreativeToots #AutodeskSketchBook #CritiqueWelcome #GirlsWithSwords

Before #colouring, I did some small fixes and then created the color masks.

(I almost lost this one. Thanks to whoever invented the recycle bin concept.)

#MastoArt #Art #CreativeToots #AutodeskSketchBook #CritiqueWelcome #GirlsWithSwords

Cleanup -- well, actually, #LineArt extraction done.

Now on to #colouring.

#MastoArt #Art #CreativeToots #AutodeskSketchBook #CritiqueWelcome #GirlsWithSwords

Alright, cleaning up the Seyès lines is out of question so...

Let's trace this and redo it digitally.

#MastoArt #Art #CreativeToots #AutodeskSketchBook #CritiqueWelcome
Also, #GirlsWithSwords

Added some shadows and started thinking of a setting. Did not like serious ones, so I thought I'd go for "cheesy metaphoric" :)

#MastoArt #Art #CreativeToots #Krita #CritiqueWelcome

Ok, so for some reason, in my bowwoman #krita drawing, I put the bow and quiver in one layer, and the arrows and bowstring in another one. 🤔

Anyway. Started adding shadows to my sylvan bowwoman, but it's nearing 1AM here so I'll go to bed and continue tomorrow
