looking for art advice

[Masmune]

No go there guy. I don't have the capability to show you any of me work. It's all in storage at the moment. Not to mention it's been forever and a day since I've actually painted. Remind when I get back to the States though, and I'll get savvy with a camera and take some pics of me work.

Awesome bud and I really look forward to seeing your work!Stay safe Masmune!

are these pieces any better do you think? I have been very depressed and feeling very lonely again so I have created ALOT but these are my favorites and honest feedback would be perfect aslong as its constructive criticism........which you all give I just like to say that so you know thats what Im looking for!Its cool if you say its horrible in my opinion but please say why!This is how I learn I have taught myself everything about art/music ect ect and I just need honest constructive criticism feedback!

You know was sitting here thinking about whyI paint and do music experiments and I must say that loneliness is a depressing inspiration when I sit and think about it.I really wish I was better at making friends or talking to someone I would like to get to know but Im just not good at that stuff and it kills me!I have no life and its f***ing me up mentally!

The fourth one doesn't look finished at all. I would keep working in that one. It just seems like a background texture....there is no substance yet. The other ones are starting to look really great, I can see the first and last one yet, but the rest of them...I'm not going to say they are amazing or anything. But it seems like your style is starting to come out in a better light. Keep experimenting! Keep learning!!!

Awesome thanks Grim this is the type of feedback Im talking bout!I like everyones honesty on this forum and the willingness(did I spell that correctr?) to give constructive criticism that doesn't come off as a diss but honest criticism!Dont worried though Grim I will never stop experimenting/learning as I enjoy it far to much to give it up!Its about the only thing that brings me joy in life.Again thanks grim means alot that you take the time ;Q) If it would let me give you REP I would!

Would love to see your pieces Grim I have a feeling their arent bad at all and I mean this!

Also you know you have cheered me up from my down time and thats a great thing!

I would like to say though Im not trying to make anything amazing as I think I have only been doing this 6 or 7 months so its just experimenting and trying things out and if it turns out good then good and if it turns out bad back to the drawing board.I personally think it takes years of doing art to make a piece that could be considered amazing..........or atleast years of schooling or something!If someone doing art for the short time I have been doing it and knows nothing of art but just enjoys doing it and makes an amazing piece then he is an art genius.

I just wanted to state the point making an amazing piece isnt in my list of things to do at the moment and I just experiment and try things to see how it turns out and while I may like it it doesnt mean jack and I have no one to show my pieces to.It really means ALOT to me that you actually took the time grim cuz the feedback helps me know that what I did on that piece might be liked by someone other then me.I take note on what I do on every piece so I cna remember and do it again with somewhat of a plan but they still arent really planned out.........I know what Im going for myself in my mind but no clue how to plan it out.

Can you do me two favors grim?Can you see if the photos that didnt load up for you load this time so I can get some feedback on them?The second is check out Don Van Vliets art and tell me what you think http://www.beefheart.com/runpaint/index.html I personally dont look at much art but his paintings are a huge inspiration on me and one of the few artists I dig ALOT!Of course you dont have to Im just wondering what you as an artist thinks of his work aswell.

Again would LOVE to see your pieces Grim and thanks for all your feedback its really kind of you to take the time!

I kinda like what you do regarding the blending and smudge work. Something that would really improve your paintings is if you were to maybe implement something into them that you would have to look for. A hidden face or a small dancing silhouette.

ahhhh I never once thought of that!Damn good idea......dont know how I would exactly do it but its a great idea!

Im glad you kinda like what Im doing or trying to do.thanks!

Only reason I thought of it was because I thought I did see something hidden in there. (The silhouette) Of course, it was just my eyes creating images on me again. I actually do it quite a lot, just staring at my walls which have been splash painted.
