I like it. Basically the kind of stuff I was drawing, I never combine mediums like he does, usually pencil or airbrush. I studied commercial art, then didn't even pursue it. I work as a diesel tech now. I never lost the ability, I was born with it. I can pick up a pen, pencil and just draw a random object from looking at it or memory. Of course when you do it all the time you get better. Always wondered if I could cut it as a tattoo artist, what stopped me was how many people would want a tat from someone who doesn't have any ? I'd probably be good at cerakoting but I don't like paint on my guns. Someday I'll build one just for cerakoting.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Now you wait a damn minute. I am not defending that faggoty commie bullshit that people pass off as art these days, but Monet was a damn genius. There is something to be said for adding texture and emotion to an art piece. Most of what you mention? Its just wrong. It's I don't have any talent, but I don't want a real job either. I never gave a flying fuck about Monet until I was able to visit the Marmottan. I'm not a big art guy and never really studied much art beyond what was required for school. It was breathtaking and I literally did not want to leave. I could have spent days there. I actually ended up doing some personal study of impressionism as a result. I suppose it also didn't hurt that my girlfriend was somewhat obsessed with it, and me being able to talk semi-intelligently about it at parties led to more sex There is no picture, print, or book that can capture what he did. |

Also, because the camera is fixed, our perspective is fixed. If we were in the room looking at it, unless we were viewing it from the same angle as the camera, it would look "off." Still amazing. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Hadn't noticed it until you mentioned it, but the scene is lit in the same direction as he drew it. I'm sure that does have an affect on the way we perceive it. I'd like to see it again with the actual scene being lit from a different direction as the drawing. If that all makes sense. |

I think this is confluence of two seperate, albeit related abilities, being able to isolate the patterns of single colors of an object, and also being able to reproduce these patterns with your hands. I have neither

She did normal 14 yr old stuff too. And it's good! It's cool to see their art mimics their brain, she draws like a kid because she is a kid. In a couple years she'll take off and fly. :). I was amazed at the mental jump and skill level that went with it. We always encouraged our daughter to pursue art. It's where her heart is. Thankfully in today's age, with higher end video games, advertising, animation and apps etc, she's avoiding the fine arts degrees and looking at design schools who intern at Disney, Google, Etc. Love the butterflies! :) I have posted my daughters stuff online for family so no reposting for sec reasons. |

Quote HistoryYou can't really appreciate the paintings of Ralph Goings and his fellow hyper-realists without seeing them in person. The two images shown in hammet's post are typical in that regard - Photos of them just look like photos. In person they are LARGE and look more real than real. |

Quote HistoryAmazing. I took four years of art school when I was in Jr High/High school, with the intention of being a commercial artist. By 12th grade I had lost interest in it, stopped drawing, and joined the Air Force instead. Sometimes I wish I had stuck with it. |
