Oh wow nice! I've been trying to fix my record player for a couple of weeks, the turntable stopped spinning.

Awesome! This is exactly what I wanted, that mans voice is fantastic and King Gizzard really evoke that western film sound, similar to Ennio Morriconne (The Good the bad and the ugly soundtrack composer)

I've had bouts of that, its no better than the late night insomnia because you still end up tired all day.

Could someone more musically competent than me explain the chords played on piano? I mean in the sense is it in minor key or something, this song and a few similar evoke a great emotion in my AI can't rightly name. Kind of a everything-is-fucked-ehich-is-sad-but-im-happy-about-it.

Same reason I gave up on Ultimate Guitar. Used to be the best site for guitar tableture, now you can't load tabs on mobile without having their app forced down your throat.

Ah yes!I forgot about the blackcurrant!

We must have a different recipie for snakebite; as a teen I was taught it was half a pint of cider mixed with half a pint of lager. I wouldn't recommend my version outside a morbid curiosity.

What I've found with them, is that you don't feel bad, but you also don't feel especially good. You just feel kind of..middle of the road. It's good, you'll be alright with things, and that feeling in itself is a great relief.

FWIW, I was on mood stabilising drugs, which I think are what antidepressants are here.

Personally, I hate a lot of modern and post modern art. Some of it, like the silent composition, or a completely blank canvas, intended to make a statement, are purely stupid to me. Picassos guernica to me, is nothing special, it looks like a childs attempt. The concept I get, but II feel I only enjoy art I can appreciate on a technical and aesthetic level. Yet there are technically brilliant pieces of art that I don't even get a reaction to, I find them boring.

Your own personal life experience will shape what you consider to be "good art". Which sounds like I'm arguing in favor of subjectivity, yet you can still make bad art, in my opinion. It's just not binary, things can have redeeming features, ita a rare piece of art that doesn't even have one.

I'm unable to take a compliment.

Lately I've been getting more involved in art, something I've loved my whole life. I'm not bad, per say, but obviously improvements can always be made (that's the main reason I drawing something every day) Its impossible for me not to feel like an imposter, someone will comment on a picture (Literally just now I got a bunch of "wow!" And "that's amazing!" Comments on Facebook on my latest one) and I immediately think 'are they being sarcastic?'

That's why I've been posting some stuff here on hubski, part of it is getting myself out there, trying to learn to take praise, and actually be proud of what I do. I still prefer when people tell me "its good but x is wrong/could be done better if you try like this". I'd rather people criticise my faults so I can improve than just outright compliment me.

Just Westeros for this one, with the heraldry for the major houses on the corners. I'd love to do a full map of the world with everything from the summer isles across to the shadowlands, but its a huge undertaking!

Fantastic track! Part of my brain was expecting tambourine in there and clapping rhythm, I'm not sure why. It reminds me a lot of Alexander Ebert (Of Edward Sharpe &Magnetic Zeroes fame)

I love it hats! If I had to give any critique of it, I would at the blue is "too blue" but beyond that I love it! Clean lines and a distinct style. I find myself in a similar situation sometimes, stress or overwhelming anxiety, and drawing near ordered patterns as a kind of meditative release.

Keep doin what you do!

Looks great! To me it looks like a cross section of a 'brain' in the center of the canvas, flecked with these spots of black like some malady creeping into the thought process. I imagine it's a good representation of the kind of feelings that lead you to strip naked and venture to Starbucks.

Overall to me I get the impression of 'raw sensory input', the colours are the brain interpreting the environment, green blobs perhaps as the people in Starbucks (whom the subject sees as jealous of his freedom) the burnt orange of the fire that burned his clothes, the bright blue as the sky, as he looks up seeing helicopters approaxhing, the creeping black sitting on the back of his mind symbolising the darkness of mental illness overtaking him.

Nice job dude!

It's actually quite small, ( I drew it in a notebook, smaller than a5) so I don't think it would work great in a frame unfortunately. Still thanks for the compliment!

Thanks! That's a huge compliment and definitely goes towards quashing the impostor syndrome :)

Thanks for the feedback hats! I'm still figuring out perspective and figure drawing so the dimensions are a little wonky at times (his right foot will haint my dreams forever) I haven't used oil pastels but I'll pick up a set and give them a go. Playing around with acrylic paint at the moment, I hope to put up something soon.

That looks awesome! By all means feel free to remix and edit what I post. No title for it yet, not sure what to call it, but I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks for the input! Still learning image composition, I have to actually start planning ahead of what I colour because I still haven't grasped it entirely.

Thanks! There's a lot more variation in the street colour than the picture shows, but I should have added some trash/flaming barrels for that cyberpunk noir vibe :)

I thought maybe it was the camera/lighting that did that, anywhere you'd reccomending for uncompressed photos?

I definitely had a cyberpunk vibe when drawing it, I was thinking Neuromancer by William Gibson. Don't look too deep into the Asian letter though, its more "the spirit of Asian lettering" than anything specific.

Thanks cedar! I'm a dredmore fan myself so perhaps that was part inspiration for this, I've found my favourite thing to draw is weird and fantasy landscapes and pictures like this. I've done a few still life drawings and things but just found them kind of..dull.

Hot damn I got a shoutout! A shitty day becomes a great one :)

Probably, but organisation is key, you could talk to your local librarian about things like this, organist support from other interested people and fundraise to buy the needed equipment. I'm sure they'd be delighted in helping more people have access and a reason to use a library.

Thanks tla! I've got a few more pieces I'll put up shortly, didn't want to spam the #art tag since it seems to be mostly art world news. Any suggestions of a good tag to use?

That made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck! It was frantic and intense and then around 6:30 it drifted into the slow mournful tune not unlike what I had in my head from the story. I loved it, and now I need to reread it :)

Sample Answer - Good Boy

Heard him on the local radio this morning. He's Irish and just putting out an album. I've been whistling it all day, love that haunted sound

I think it looks great, only issue been what you've pointed out yourself, that the eyes are bigger than normal. Really great colour choices though! In regards to the comic, I like the style of black on white, especially the second last panel, maybe consider adding more white to each scene for a better contrast with the shadow?

Overall, keep it up man! I know how hard it is to appreciate anything you do yourself but its a barrier to cross, like learning perspective or shading techniques.

I've gotten great feed back on my last two posts with the #art tag, its inspired me to draw more and more, I hope it does for you too!

No direct reference photos but just working from memory on things I've seen before. I'm still getting the hang of blending and consistent solid colours with watercolours. Thanks for the feedback!
