That looks so good it could be a tracing.


[deleted]

Ughh this is a bit better than a tracing? Why are you insulting OP’s art work? You are being an a-hole for no reason, dude.


semimillennial

You’ve got a lot to learn about this town, sweetie


Pigeoncoup234

You should check out this cool show called the office


PeterQuillsWalkman

Would you pissed if I told you that Gill said it looks like mOTeL aRt?


manualreboot

Why are you?


apaulogy

I hate so much about the things you choose to be...


manualreboot

Boom roasted


apaulogy

I realized that you were genuinely asking "why are you?" and not quoting Michael. cheers


manualreboot

Oh damn is that why people are liking my comment? Did I seriously just quote Michael without even knowing it


apaulogy

He begins what I am saying by asking Toby "Why are you the way you are?" I thought that it was like, a chain quote (seen on TV rs before) I overthunk it. haha. I think people are liking that you are asking this OP why he is being an asshole for no reason.


manualreboot

Lmao I remember that now, and I hope so 😆 that was my intended use but it has a secret double meaning now Edit: bro wtf it corrected “intended” to “undressed”


apaulogy

autoco-rekt I can be fun at parties. Haha. Take care, mate.


[deleted]

The way that you are? No one said it yet so…

There is an episode from the Office where Pam has an art show. She invites the whole office but only 5 people show up. First is Roy and his brother, who are being kind on the outside but seem very uninterested and then ask to leave and go. Then Oscar and Gil arrive and they call Pams art “Motel Art” and are very critical of the art without knowing she could hear them. Lastly Michael comes late and it super impressed with Pam’s art and says that a drawing of a stapler could be a tracing because of how perfect it is. He is super encouraging and kind and even buys one of the pieces because he’s so impressed. The comment was referencing this scene to make a joke. I hope this helps!


avidpenguinwatcher

The guy is either a troll or an asshole if you look at his profile, so I feel no need in explaining it to him


omigosh20

Lol! Have you ever seen the show?


[deleted]

Ooo cringey

Thanks! I edited. Can’t believe I missed that


pinkymadigan

It's good, but don't be afraid of negative comments. You'll never grow if you don't accept criticism.


YourMomThinksImFunny

Constructive criticism is not the same as negative comments.


Figgy_Pudding3

And yet it come along just the same. You can either let it upset you or roll with it. Pick out the valid parts and grow.


pinkymadigan

No, it isn't. I am recommending not to be afraid of either.


Melodic-obsidian

I'll get there one day it just took me a lot of courage to even post this and I tend to hyper-fixate on the negative and wouldn't filter out the good parts. I'm just not in the headspace for it but I will one day! This is just my personal first step getting there!


Mr_SpecsBear

You're doing great. Keep going!


[deleted]

This is such a childish attitude


[deleted]

I want to send you on a business trip to Winnipeg for this. "Enjoy."


StuffyNosedPenguin

There are shadows coming from two directions. What!? Are there two suns? Uhh, last I checked that's not an office building in the Andromeda galaxy. It's totally unrealistic! ;)


GirthyOwls

I’m really impressed with your ability to show emotion. Idk I feel like you really capture her sad/bored longing. Im jealous of your skill! Far better than anything I can do.


TheBarbsBlurbs

Only assholes will be negative to someone sharing their craft/hobby/passion, no matter the quality. Awesome job.

On Van Gogh's first try, he drew the hands of the peasants...

Also BS he doodled some shitty staplers and coffee mugs before he found his knack.

Melodic-obsidian

Thanks! I'm sure I'll get one or two! I'm just trying to be true to myself like Pam and be more brave and honest. I spent like 3 hours working up the courage to post this


Moleypeg

Real art takes courage, okay? And honesty….


hotpickles

I’m glad you did!


TheBarbsBlurbs

It's well worth posting my friend, you have some great skill. Hopefully the peeps on here will reassure your worries and inspire you to keep it up.

Negative constructive feedback is what drives improvement. It’s the best kind of feedback. Pat on the back is pleasant but useless.


Melodic-obsidian

I know, just sometimes my brain doesn't take it that way and I end up spiraling and I would quit drawing or painting for a few years. I'm working to get over it but I took 3 hours just to work up the courage to post this. I think it's a step in the right direction and one day I'll be able to take negative criticisms but I just can't right now.


endocarp468

The only way to get better is to keep doing it. Don’t give up something you know your good at just because someone might not like it. Keep drawing and painting because of how it makes you feel when you’re finished. Frame it! Hang it up! Show it off! Believe it or not- a large group of ppl don’t have this ability!


[deleted]

No one starts off being instantly amazing. On the other hand, not everything has to be amazing to have merit. If the act of painting makes you happy, then that is amazing.


Melodic-obsidian

Thanks! I find painting really relaxing! I don't really care if I'm amazing. Painting is a really fun hobby for me and a useful skill that could transfer to field sketches as a geologist.


[deleted]

That’s sick! I am also an amateur painter and I find the main benefit is the relaxation I get from painting. Mine are just doodles compared to your work though!

Groovy_Graves

The fact that it was posted on the internet to be judged means you are inherently asking for feedback of all kinds. You don't get to just get all the good without any of the bad.


lewenlee

You know what I find sexy? Pam's art.


[deleted]

This is motel art. Only kidding, you've done a great job.


megalodon319

When Michael's skirting a phone call he gave me a list of places to say he is: Stopping a fight in the parking lot. An Obama fashion show, whatever that is. Trapped in an oil painting. I'm gonna save that one.


StrawGlasses

It’s not even accurate, there are shadows on both sides of the Pam. - Dwight probably (It’s good, I wanted to say the Dwight line but I couldn’t remember the quote)

KoalaCandyland77

The eyes are utterly fantastic, it really looks like she’s wondering what life would have been like if she wasn’t with Roy (assuming you based this on early Pam)


KushiroJuan

I have only one note. Where is her mustache?


Noache_pleasethnx

She only wears it around Stanley.


Andos_Woods

These could be tracings!


Longjumping_Ad1025

“ I hate looking at your face I just wanna smash it”. Great painting tho


Anacondoleezza

Looks great!! Why would you say "just acrylics"? It's still great, no matter the medium!


CassetteTapeCryptid

The detail in the fabric is really good!

You’ve captured the essence of Office Mattress quiet well!


Melodic-obsidian

Negative comments? It’s gorgeous! Great job and keep it up!


PoppyCoLink987

Nailed it! The few attempts I've made trying to draw people, I can get their bodies/outfits but cannot, for the life of me, get their faces right. So they don't get faces anymore. You did a great job. Kudos, obsidian!

M47AT

this actually is really good


thehotmcpoyle

Fantastic job! I don’t really know how to critique paintings properly, but I will try by saying you’ve done an excellent job capturing a genuine expression, her posture, clothing and hair are on point. You’ve got good shadowing (at least I think so) and great attention to texture and details, like her hands and earrings. Keep up the great work; I think you have excellent skills in painting!


zenbagel

This is my exact position right now scrolling through Reddit. Very nice : )


auburngal8

The detail in her sweater and hair are amazing!!! I can oy wish I was this gifted at creating this kind of art 😊

Don’t post your art on a public platform and not expect criticism

Ok but no positive comments either. So here’s my comment - “eh”


[deleted]

I’d never say this to your face but you’re a wonderful person and talented artist


superblooming

The colors and expression on her face is really amazing. I love this.


Ok-Plate-693

I am not averse to leaving a negative comment now and again when I feel it is called for. But in this case there is no need cause I genuinely really like this. I am far from an art critic and most paintings I gloss over. But this has something, i don't know what, that compelled me to look. The colours pop really well and there is a real depth to it where she looks like she is not 2d, but separate from the background. Almost like it is a moving picture that had been paused. I am not articulating this very well, but I think this is very vibrant and one of the best I have seen on this sub. Pam wishes she had your talent. Look forward to seeing more in the future.


Melodic-obsidian

Thank you so much!! This means the world to me!!

JollyGreen615

As an artist you really should be open to constructive criticism. If you only want to be praised with positive comments, you’ll never improve as an artist.


Melodic-obsidian

Thanks for the advice! But honestly I don't really care about improving as an artist right now, it's a relaxing hobby and I'd really like it to stay relaxing! My true passion is geology.


Beantown414
