So you wanna learn art...

Let me teach you in my brand new DISCORD ART SCHOOL! Hey there, Slimeo here! I've been a digital artist since 2010 and a freelancer since 2017. Now I'm beginning my journey as an art teacher! I'll be bringing forward things I learned from my 3 years in an intense visual arts college as well as many more years of experience working independently! What may make me stand out from other teachers is my commitment to positivity and encouragement, as well as determination to provide unique guidance for a variety of challenges different artists face. I could go on, but you'll just have to listen in and see for yourself if I'm the teacher for you. :) ⚠ (This space will be for 18+ individuals ONLY) ❕ Anyone who is unable to attend lectures live will have access to public archived videos on Youtube, whenever I get that rolling. 💲 Support myself and the school on ko-fi https://discord.gg/EMwTwQtD4N

For my artist friends who also want to get better, I have this entire playlist of anatomy lessons that’s free. I haven’t watched it yet but it was recommended to me and I know I personally don’t know where to start with learning this stuff.

Art Lessons

I'm just dropping this here because the idea keeps floating in my head about revisiting something I did back in the SAMS server (yes, hi, I was there, some of you probably know me from art chat) that I really enjoyed and I've been considering trying again to provide accessible resources to young or under-skilled artists.

So, back in the day (early 2023) when I was there (SAMS), I held a couple of streams where I tried to explain anatomy and breaking down bodies into shapes and how those lessons overlapped into other subjects like non-humans. I felt there was a moderate success, as I am and always have been, self-taught and thus I don't have the formal knowledge that comes from university classes (though I would like some one day); having been online enough I've seen the biases in the art community with the agism and such where older people who "missed" the window of opportunity are often pushed aside because they're expected to "know" by now how to Do The Thing when they weren't given the same opportunities then.

I've also seen how most how-to books, videos and classes, in many countries, seem to lack general fundamentals as part of their criteria; the number of 'students' who professed that their teachers or the instructor seemed to assume they had a basic idea of how to draw already before starting class was... staggering to say the least.

"I didn't know what [this] meant, I was just told to do it."

"We were never taught how to break this down, we just had to copy [this]."

Etc.

Nevermind the style biases; I despise the "Anime isn't art" arguments and how they try to force a style onto the learners as if they're superior for being 'traditional' or 'realistic'. I'm a person who does push for the fundamentals because they can be applied to all styles in some way; learn the rules to then break the rules and all that. Technical skill is not the same as style, in my book.

So, that being said, I would really love to revisit those streams one day soon, if the interest is still there. I'm planning to open a discord server for it where I can host the small-scale streams until I get a platform open for larger audiences; I'm thinking Twitch, but my set up isn't really good for that, and I need a certain amount of watch time/followers on Tiktok and Youtube (for some stupid reason) so while I figure that out, discord is better than nothing. VODs could be made or uploaded to Youtube later for review until I make proper edited stuff, but that's much later.

I just really miss offering help because art should be accessible and no one should feel isolated in the "you should know by now" bubble simply because their living situation or environment didn't afford them the time or resources to sit and draw all day, every day and teach themselves where classes failed or assumed they knew what they were dong already. Also, that live feedback can help a lot and allow others to run at their own pace instead of getting steamrolled by the 'natural talent' as I can repeat or revisit something and answer questions in real-time (as much as I'm able).

So if that's something that seems fun or interesting, I'd leave it open to any age (behave yourselves) to come learn; if I get enough interest I'll start making the discord and think of a schedule plan, but for now it's an idea!

Thank you for dropping by!

back to art class — I can haz Cezanne?

(Original painting in Cezanne's style below cut)

Study1

Study2

(I love that I had to squint to make sure the bottom right was my copy. Note that my faint reference lines are drawn on a transparency, not the book; we draw the same lines during an initial pencil sketch to help.)

Original still life using what I learned from Cezanne:

Not quite done — I ran out of time — but this is surprisingly fun.

Except it's surprisingly difficult to keep colors from mixing and going muddy: i'm beginning to see why real painters pre-mix all of their secondary colors (purple, greens, oranges), even though it looks like they would be wasting them. 

I used only cad red, cad yellow, ultramarine blue and white pigments (out of the tube) for my own painting with just a dash of crimson; for the first two I guessed Cezanne was also resorting to viridian green, raw sienna, and/or crimson for certain patches of purer color.

To start on my mission to improve my art, I looked at what I wasn't satisfied in my creations: Mainly Color, Shading, and lighting. So I drew a quick sketch and then filled in it's lineart. (of a humanized Venus De Milo from 'TMNT- The Next Mutation') and made three copies of it, before filling them in after taking notes on online art lessons.

NOTES BELOW

-I started by coloring and shading it the way I always have, and like most times, I was far from satisfied.

-Second, I listened to, and annotated Marc Brunet's art lesson videos 'HOW TO COLOR YOUR DRAWINGS (in 5 simple steps)' and 'HOW TO PICK COLORS FOR YOUR ART (easy)' and recolored and reshaded the drawing, using four main tips from the videos

have a plan for the colors, and use color harmonies, helped in finding them by color.adobe.com

softening my lineart, by making two layers of it (one let so a slight gaussian blur, and a solid one at 80% opacity)

found and noted a light source, and included light in the drawing.

included four shading layers, each one finer and more detailed then the one before it, instead of my usual one layer.

-Third, I took what i learned, and experimented with it, and followed a photo tutorial from Pinterest about facial coloring (I can't tell who originally posted it, unfortunately.) and put it all together.

Changed the light later from 'soft light' to 'overlay'

softened the shading on her face, and added colored facial shading and contour, as well as blush to make her look more 'alive'

added a layer of small highlights, set to Lighten

Exciting Plans Ahead......

It's already April and I'm so excited to be busy preparing for my next art project, it's going to literally be a big one. LOL 😉 Plus this summer, my art business will be in full swing with available in-person openings for The Visual Arts Worship Workshop and Drawing 101 lessons. I'm Super Stoked!!! 🤩❤️

I'm simply amazed how God is affirming me on this business endeavor! He's constantly reminding me how much He's totally in favor of make this dream to startup my own art studio business into reality. I feel like practically everything has been falling into place without me needing to do much. The financial needs to start a business continues to be resolved and provided. My volunteer work at my church, using my artistic talents, have already been a huge promoter. Which has lead me to my first paid commission offer which will be my next art project. What I receive from that commission will so straight toward my small business. What's even more exciting to me is that my town will be having a Neighborhood Block Party next month, which I hope to have a promo-table to advertise sign-up for the my summer art workshops and lessons. God is seriously providing alot of opportunity for my art business to become known in my community. Thank you, Lord! I couldn't have gotten this far without you! 🎨

Finished! I really enjoyed this assignment.

oil painting: Still life in the style of Cezanne

compare it to my last still life after I'd been studying Velazquez and Rembrandt:

The biggest thing I learned is how to make different objects "flow" from one to the next to make a more dynamic and unified whole.
