- Not saying this is easy, but with a massive enough canvas, it's much easier to fill in the tiny details like pores and creases.iCanHazQBN
- This is purely technical skill. Requires no imagination or artistic impression.iCanHazQBN
- I knew a girl like this in school. She could reproduce anything. But if you asked her to be creative and invent something from her mind, she couldn't.iCanHazQBN

- The focus of something like this will always shift to the technique or skill of the painter. Not the content.iCanHazQBN
- The painter isn't expressing anything but his skill. If he wanted to capture the girl's "essence" he could've achieved the exact result by taking a photo.iCanHazQBN
- The fact that he chose to paint it instead means he just wanted to show off his technical ability.iCanHazQBN
- So he traced from a photo or real life that looks just like the original. Then he scanned or took a photo of his work that still looks just like the original...pango

- Paint More! QBN Less!tap
- A photo would never have the texture of a painting.hotroddy
- I think she is exquisite. Far from boring. I am in love in fact lol.rabbit
- "glorious artist"? Hmm. How is this creative or imaginative? He's a color copy machine with great brush control. He's just reproducing what he's seeing.iCanHazQBN
- ^ what he saidfadein11
- Photo would never have the tenure of the paint? Then why try so hard to paint like a photo? Or painting would never have the same texture as photo?pango
- The texture ensures that the painting is one of a kind. No two alike. A photo can be mass produced.hotroddy
- So the advantage of a painting is for investment and bragging? "I bought this painting for how much and it's one of a kind" :Ppango
- quite how anyone can say this is boring or shes painted a crap this or whatever, just shhtaaaap, look at it! ITS A FRIGGIN PAINTINGcruddlebub

Getting older and working in design
Thank you all for your support and sharing your experiences. It really means a lot to me. (And I thought this place was just for downvoting Gerorges photo choices...I kid)
@bklyndroobeki I watched the video. I like what Brandon says about duration and weight we give to our negative thoughts. Believe me when I say I don't wish to stay down.
A little about me: I left home at 16, put myself through university and have lived a life doing what I want despite friends, family and acquaintances telling me I can't. "You can't make it as an artist, that's a stupid profession. Haven't you heard of starving artists?" "You can't get a tattoo," "You can't ride a motorcycle" etc etc etc. What that means is THEY can't or THEY'RE afraid to. People will always try to live their lives and fears out through you and I've always lived my life tuning them all out.
I live for being hyper creative, 41 and still hungry for new trends, scribbling in my sketchbook or taking photos. Shit, before digital and camera phones I'd blow so much money on getting photos of random crap that inspired me in that moment developed.
I have defined myself my entire life as an artist. The thought of working at something like stocking shelves is a Hell I'm trying very hard not to sentence myself to. NOT that there's anything wrong with those jobs at all, but I've always wanted to be passionate about what I do. I'm the jerk that goes to the movies and names the fonts while looking at the ads they show before the trailers, or cringes when he looks at a menu that's poorly kerned. Where else but our world would have me?
Having a job of 15 years fall out from under me was a huge blow. After which came constant and repeated feelings of rejection, irrelevance and being inconsequential that have been chipping away at me. I started freelancing and tried "faking it til I made it" but those core feelings of being a 41 year old out of work art director and web developer are like a cancer that have been eating me alive.
Depression is an entirely different animal altogether. I thought I could pull out of it on my own, that if I told anyone what I was going through I would be considered weak or broken. My doctor repeatedly tells me its a disease that needs to be treated, like diabetes, that you can't just will away, and I should say "Thank god, there's a pill that's keeping me from jumping out a window." I haven't reached that level of acceptance yet but I'm trying.
I'm working very hard at getting myself back to a healthy place so I can pull out of this nosedive. So my brain can work again rather than feel like somebody grabbed the emergency brake and is holding it in a vice like grip.
I apologize if I've made this thread about me. I hope some of my experiences can in some way help. If any of you are dealing with similar dark or negative thoughts, please know you're not alone and there IS help.
Again, thank you all so much.
