    This is so amazing stan, really happy you brought the man himself here. There's something very beautiful and gripping in listening to the masters who knows what they're doing and are so good at doing it. Absolutely loved this

  • @sociallyresponsiblexenomor7608

    This is fantastic critique work btw. This is how you do it; he breaks down what they did right, what could be done better, and touches politely on how they might go about that- and even explains when it isn't necessarily the art itself but something outside it like the reference itself.

  • @BluemazeWesley
    @BluemazeWesley Před 3 lety +6

    Almost all the drawings issues come from not working from large to small. Meaning working on small muscles before understanding the large images. That tends to happen to me because I’m trying to fly through the process. Sometimes I have to set goals and walk away from the piece so I don’t skip through the process.

  • @NotSoMax
    @NotSoMax Před 3 lety +3

    I was in the video for about 40 seconds but I really respect how many submissions Jeff was willing to critique, I wish I had more than a couple hours to work on my piece very informative and interesting to see which decisions he values and what technical advice he has to offer, excellent.

    This was wonderfully done! I almost couldn't see the difference between the two images at 3:18 until you criticize it yourself. This is the kind of eye that I need for my artworks.
    Been watching Stan for more than a year now and I recently just started my own channel as I verge to have my art as my fulltime job. Will keep coming back for more! Shout out to all the new artists here! Don't quit! Keep working!

  • @carlkligerman1981
    @carlkligerman1981 Před 3 lety +1

    One thing I noticed, and this is common to all good teachers, is that the more he likes a study the more thoroughly he hammers at it with his crit. So if you were one of the artists who he spent a good couple of minutes pulling to pieces take heart!

  • @BonafideShaunDent
    @BonafideShaunDent Před 3 lety +1

    In regards to the figure with the stick I feel that if you are going to turn that into an action pose where the figure is interacting with another person or creature then lose the structure the one leg is resting on and do a slight adjustment to have the figure look like it was running or sgifting weight in order to deliver the blow with the stick.
    It just seems odd to be in action but one knee is casually resting on a cloth covered box or rock.

    Scumbling (answering my own question)
    "What is Scumbling technique?
    A little known but simple oil paint technique, scumbling is the application of a small amount of neat paint from a stiff brush to create atmosphere in a broken glaze. Scumbling can be seen in any expressive painting such as one from the impressionist movement." Source: rachel shirly paintings

    • @sociallyresponsiblexenomor7608
      @sociallyresponsiblexenomor7608 Před 3 lety +5

      I don't think that is quite what he means. I think he means he felt it looked very photo accurate to a point of having no character, that's a dangerous slope because you may as well use a photo at that point; but that he was also unsure of what digital tools or tricks might have been used in it's process, and that if he knew what/how things were used it would affect how he approached critique of it.
      Still, it is a hell of a piece. I examined to see if they used a color picker or something but I don't think they did at all.

    13:35 I also feel like there's a general shape and color problem with the figure here. Where certain blending of light and shadow translates poorly, creating confusing tones, volumes, and highlights on the right side of the body.
    If the artist stuck with the light background and fabric stool, it would've definitely help in finding certain errors.
