Do any anons paint like this nowadays? I constantly see cartoonish stuff, pixel art, anime, but where is the realism?
>>7405407Realism is fucking boring.
>>7405409by all means, grace us with your distinguished taste
>>7405407Looks like chinease knockoff of Bouguereau, lmao
>>7405417I already did, moron. Want realism? Take up photography. It does a better job than you. Painting transcends reality.
>>7405431>I already didhardly. there are plenty of styles and movements beyond realism, so simply saying>Realism is fucking boringdoesn't give any positive indication what you do happen to like. do you have the balls to do so? I doubt it.
>>7405424M. David was a real and talented painter.
>>7405433>do you have the balls to do so?
>>7405443Dobsoooooooon!
>>7405443fuck, you win. egg on my face. fuck Courbet, I'm gonna exclusively draw furry inflation now.
>>7405443>>7405449>>7405433what even is this conversation? what exactly is happening here?
>>7405407Hey OP, ignore the trolls and check out ARC (Art Renewal Center), an organization that aims to support realism in art. They hold a yearly competition, the "Salon", you can see previous editions' winners, find some names you like and check out their work.https://www.artrenewal.org/Salon/HomeShare your thoughts! Post some links of artists you liked.
>>7405407this isn't a good painting, its not a good example of the genera, it might well be one of those fake old pictures mass produced in chinese art factories
>>7405435$189 at auction, doesn't see to be very well regarded
>>7405424The face is too phased out to allow looking into the soul, and the background is too blocked in and abstract. Still mogs me though.
>>7405409Post one painting in the style you like.
>>7405407We left realism in the 19th century where it belongs. Really you should be complaining about the lack of early 20th century styles like cubism, futurism etc. Seems like 80% of anons want to learn to draw so they can create cute anime girls, which, same, but there's more to art than that.
>>7409596>you should be complaining about the lack of early 20th century styles like cubism, futurism etcwhy?
>>7405453Just keep pumping anon, you don't want to miss the BOOM
>>7409596Here you go, anon
>>7409639Miku fags go way back huh
>>7409642when Picasso said it took him a lifetime to learn how to draw like a child, this is what he meant
>>7409639kek thanks
I would like to, but the cartoons and anime are just what come out of me anon. It's instinct I've trained since me teens and now I'm stuck with it.
>>7405409It's a case of subject matter. Blaming something being boring on the technique is like saying that all photos are boring. Sounds like a skill issue to be honest. You'd be glazing OP's image so hard right now if it was an anime character painted in a realistic setting and style. Take a closer look at OP's image BTW, it's essentially well rendered anime girl.
>>7405407Realism is too hard, why bother when you could paint an abstract abomination in the cubist style or tape a banana to a wall and have it valued at gorillion of dollars by a corrupt and degenerate establishment? Pic related, a 80 million dollars painting.
>>7409859>why bothersome people don't have low expectations and find accomplishing difficult things fulfilling.
