PARABÉNS PELA CRIATIVIDADE E HABILIDADES !!! QUE TALENTO EXTRAORDINÁRIO !! SOU PINTORA DE AQUARELA E DESENHISTA HIPER REALISTA DO 🇧🇷 BRASIL !!

Don’t be so hard on yourself. Just remember, artists paint from live models (nudes and portraits) all the time! Is their art less valued? If a landscape artist is painting what he/she sees in front of them aren’t they copying what they see? Does that diminish their skill? I don’t have a photographic memory but I too like to replicate, as realistically as I can, what I see. I think many artists who think that art is only valuable if it’s created without looking at something, probably can’t paint or draw realistic art! I love art that looks like a photograph. It’s a real challenge to be so accurate that someone can’t believe it was painted! You have to be “really able to see”what you’re looking at in order to paint realism. But you also have to have the talent and skill to paint what you see! It also takes real skill to be able to mix paint colors to capture the colors in nature so that they don’t look garish or cartoonish. Many fine artists can’t “see” the colors or replicate them and so they work in black and white. Are they less of an artist? So, don’t be so hard on yourself for copying a photograph. You only have to be careful not to plagiarize someone else’s work!

Mr. Gurney! OMG! Thanks for stopping by. And thanks for all your teachings. I'm a great admirer of yours! Greetings from Yucatán México, there are many dinosaur fans here because of the Chicxulub crater. Muchos saludos maestro!

👍🏼👍🏼

Is this sarcastic😭

@@buttercroissant1278 Only if you think you’re better. I’m not.

@@DrJones-nh4my u misinterpret my comment lol u said "all of a sudden" so maybe ur implying that he doesnt show the steps🙄

@@buttercroissant1278 Got you

This teacher belongs to the many who kills creativity and imagination. I had a similar experience, decades ago with my son at school, 2 nd grade in art. They should be fired ! This country education needs to foster thinking and creativity.´I’m so sorry . Your daughter is lucky to have you. It is so damaging. The teacher shamed her. Unreal! I have been an art teacher and made sure to always support, guide, encourage from the place the child is. Enthousiasme, good self esteem follows, regardless of the results. It’s the process, that counts anyway. Thank you for sharing.

That happened to me with my own father (he's actually an artist and his work gives us food and everything we needed) but please, make that teacher never go near your daughter again. I abruptly stopped drawing at all, and when I give a shot and got recognized (basically every time I give a shot to drawing I got recognized by some artist friend) I just can't handle that recognition and got really sad because I just can't belive them. I'm a comic soul maker, but I just can write the story and point how the panels should go to my team, because I CAN'T DRAW without thinking I'm a failure to my father. Please make that man never go near your daughter again, creativity could be killed in such hurtfully way.

Shame on that teacher. A comment like that can scar a child for a long time. So glad she told you about it and so glad you are helping your daughter through what must have been a devastating event

Hmm.. I also have few paintings.. please support..

Hmmmm ...... What if my parents were like you , my parents are not allowing me to be Painter , even if I had learnt everything by my own 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Hola

everyone feels this way at some point the ability to paint from imagination comes from years of studying real life.

it is called Aphantasia .

@@hedgy369 you are absolutely right about it. Many people has it and they are not aware. New studies are being conducting about it and it is so interesting. Thanks for mentioning the terminology. Blessings.

You can make a sketch of an idea in your head. Then take pictures of yourself or friends (like Alex Ross would do), make models on silly putty (like James Gurney) or even use 3D applications. Anything goes, and most commercial artist would do whatever it takes. Reference is a resource to bring life to your ideas not a shackle. And I believe there are people capable of drawing things from imagination, but not before soaking up tons of reference. To be honest, to me that's more of a party trick than an actual merit.

@Sumaya Ben Saad there are online tests which are good because you can find out exactly your strengths and weaknesses , I found i am good with faces but really fuzzy with everything else. 'How to draw' (drawing and sketching objects and environments from your imagination) by Scott Robertson helps me with objects and perspective.

Hola

Yes I saw them, so we have both skills, the realistic one and the accidental gift, it's a perfect exemple

Creo todos los que vimos el vídeo pensamos lo mismo.... jejeje

When you do portrait painting, you are using a reference, the model. When you do plain air, you use reference, the scene in front of you. Art is not simply from the imagination. Artists have always had to use "references" in order to paint, even the greats.

@@Nazareth434 yes!! :) references help u grow as an artist it’s great

My art teacher let us paint what we want and present it to the other kids (this was in elementary school) and I used a reference to draw a human face and my teacher yelled at me and she got fired for doing this to a lot of other kids :)

Beautiful!
