    But what makes his style so attractive? Studying his art helped me figuring out an efficient way to develop your own art style, which I’ll be sharing with you in this video.

    This is a fascinating concept. I tried analyzing some art that I like, and it mostly falls into the Soft and Confronting quadrant. Which, when I look at the art that I've been making recently, I'm finding that I'm really enjoying my work when I lean into that quadrant rather than trying to be in the Hard and Confronting one. Thanks for this!

    A factor not addressed was "representational" versus "abstract." I think one factor that works for James Jean's style, is that we can identify the character (be it human or animal - hence, representational) while the other artist shown (the abstract piece) might work in a more interpretive way, or for people who think along those lines or appreciate abstract art. I think this also goes along with what Dr. Draw said about Comics being culturally appreciated.

    • @thedrDraw
      @thedrDraw  Před rokem +4

      That's a nice perspective! If we think hard enough we might even find more scales. I just hope we use more than 'good vs bad' or 'skilled vs unskilled'.

      Also, he didn't cover any neutral art, only art with polar opposite emotional response. There are many realistic paintings that don't fake any extreme emotion, but rather show calm reality. I also thing detail is an important factor, how comlex the artwork is. Plus, what level of skill is shown, basic or advanced. Many assessments could determine style, but it surely isn't a childish divode like it was presented in the video. Dr Draw better start thinking rationally and not repeat some ВS he learned in kindergarten or some other immature place.

      @@thedrDraw I think it works! Playing into your strengths and background in psychology as a means of breaking down why art is impactful and how to apply it in your own work is not something I've seen elsewhere at all. I think if you can keep highlighting the strengths of other artists, maybe extend the videos and go a bit more in depth - as well as highlighting your own work and how you have applied these principles, you got a recipe for a great channel.

    What a Great video!
    for a long time i was working on my technical skills but still seem to see a huge gap from my heroes, recently i started to add color and themes around my artwork and saw a huge jump on the impact of my work.
    its really cool seeing how you breakdown this subject, you definitely helped me understand what are the underlying skills in order to make great art. thank you!

    • @thedrDraw
      @thedrDraw  Před rokem

      Yeah art is part technical but also about the impact you make. And that can be done regardless of skill. Great to hear it helps. But it also makes me curious: what part of the diagram is yours?

    I might have a preferred style that's soft and a little confronting. Leaking quite a bit into the sweet spectrum and into the hard spectrum.
    But I might be wrong, it might change overtime.

  • @mikesamovarov4054
    @mikesamovarov4054 Před 11 měsíci +1

    So, I don't fall into any of these categories (sweet, confronting, dar etc). I like detail, so I'm attracted to OCD type challenges. But it's neutral, doesn't have any specific feeling, except it's representative and complex. I think you need to consider other ways to classify style, because those two axes don't cover every art style (for example, photorealistic architecture and cityscapes). My question is if extreme emotion even necessary, or we could paint attractive painting in a neutral fashion? Is it too boring?

    • @thedrDraw
      @thedrDraw  Před 11 měsíci

      Nah it's not boring. Honestly this framework is just a way of looking at art but if it doesn't suit you, don't use it. If you like details and hatching for example you might like this channel: www.youtube.com/@KEEZOOsketch

      Good question. How is this for you? What is your art style determining the frame presented in this video? And what do you like? I think they can be different and the same. Depends on the person.
