Most of my posts will probably be about the human figure

I will always really enjoy surrealism and distortion of the human body

Love the variation in color in the skin tones

Could not find medium, pastel or oil pastel maybe?

The reflections in the man's back MWAH<3

Also the mood, feels like I just got caught looking when im not supposed to be.

I find the subject matter to be really powerful, an elementary school teacher, Gloria White, was murdered by her own son who is suffering from schizophrenia. He was turned away at every treatment center his family took him to.

Shows how dangerous mental illness can be when it is left untreated.

I find Gloria's sister's forgiveness to the son and the situation to be substantial.

A devastating story turned into something beautiful, spreading awareness overcomes hate.

One area I find particularly satisfying is the folds in the pants and how the form of her back falls over the pants somewhat. The form and skin tones are so gorgeous

Super interesting mark making, its expressive but also lively and detailed.

Great balance of dense etching vs areas devoid of marks

# data[].attributes.body
Again with the contrast of the light and dark, there is so much going on in this panel and some how nothing gets lost

The large patches of white provides enough break from the chaos that the hatching gives off

# data[].attributes.body
I watched the video process of this and the scribble technique is so cool, i want to try it

# data[].attributes.body
The tone shift between the two guys is really awesome, the back figure really recedes into space. Adds alot of depth

# data[].attributes.body
Cool way of applying color

Very saturated and somewhat distorted

The way the marks are directional gives a very fascinating texture

# data[].attributes.body
Body morphs seemlessly into eachother, evey inch of flesh and muscle was handled very delicately

# data[].attributes.body
Its not quite the movement that intrigues me, its the fingerprint patter.

There is some connection between the body as a whole and a finger print. This looks like a smudged fingerprint

# data[].attributes.body
This portrayal of the human body and nature as quite grotesque

Despite some distortion, the bodies hold a kind if realness to them

# data[].attributes.body
Environment have a more unfinished quality

# data[].attributes.body
I like how the wires arent exactly bound to the body

# data[].attributes.body
Perspective and a lot of interesting posing

# data[].attributes.body
I think this particular drawing took 70 sittings

I love how it is ask patched up, its covered with atleast 3 layers of paper

# data[].attributes.body
The way the skin is rendered and the purples that are brought out in the skin are gorgeous.

The ghost lines on the body of previous or even future positions are so interesting. Gives a sense that time is passing by.

As an artist, Lydia focuses a lot on body image, a very big interest of mine this semester

Very grateful to meet her in person, she has an attention to detail that I love.

This piece in particular has beautiful intense contrast

also just a fan of the skeleton sheets

The line work makes this mangled deer look so delicate. I enjoy the contrast between the deers insides and fur.

# data[].attributes.body
Unfinished but actually finished vibe

# data[].attributes.body
This is apparently acrylic, black chalk and varnish on paper, i find the background very texturally interesting.

The angles paired with more round shapes makes a really interesting form.

Another example of a strangely grotesque figure

# data[].attributes.body
Many figures making up one figure, though most of this figure is flat to fit in imagery of other figures, the hands are lighter and add so much dimension.

# data[].attributes.body
This is digital i believe but I can totally see this in ink, the mark making is really cool and creates an image with so much movement and intensity

# data[].attributes.body
Usually when I see an artist I like on a slide show, I would try to find a work that wasn't shown, but this piece was so profound to me. It is really making me think in a new direction.

The skin tones are delicious, the amount of strange body parts is super interesting. I just see a lot in how Jenny deals with abstraction

Very subtle facial distortion

The graphite is extremely smooth, I am especially entranced with that shadow and it's different tones

India ink drawing, the splochy mark making has such an interesting visual language. Its very mysterious and kind of scary

# data[].attributes.body
The transformation between the person and whatever that creature is fantastic, texture of the hair is amazing and the rendering of the ear!!!

# data[].attributes.body
I love the way the stripes on the blanket and clothes are handled, the way they warp with the fabric while also remaining bright and the texture is just so tasty

# data[].attributes.body
The softness of the charcoal is so beautiful, and the rendering of the legs are subtle but clear. The casted shadow is really cool, blending out the carpet details and I think the use of empty space in this piece is very effective

# data[].attributes.body
This persons sketches are unbelievabley beautiful. The scribbling marks adds noise and interest into the composition. I am a huge fan of the bright red outline of the hands

This is apparently called a sketch to them, but their overall work is pretty similar

# data[].attributes.body
The color palette and the persons eyes makes this drawing so unsettling, there is just something off in their face and im invested

I loved Tanisha's artist in the collaborative slideshow

Teoni has beautiful paintings but I want to shed light on her live figures.

Crazy perspective, sketchy, fast energy

# data[].attributes.body
The mixed media approach brings such amazing texture to this piece

# data[].attributes.body
I like the pen on top of the watercolor; it gives such a smooth painting such life and ruggedness that I really enjoy

# data[].attributes.body
Gorgeous use of color and line, I enjoy how the coloring is not restricted to staying in the lines, it gives th9is figure drawing such a beautiful aura

# data[].attributes.body
Lucian Freud is just a master at skin tones

cool and warm colors in skin

The texture of the dog's legs is so good

The figures head feels a little small to me, it's probably because this model has very broad shoulders.

the seemingly smallish head is actually quite satisfying, it enhances the figures physique.

# data[].attributes.body
I love the way the skin is rendered, it does not only just have warm and cool tones, but the skin feels almost ethereal to me, it feels almost delicate or crystal like.

Bulky anatomy, I enjoy the stylization.

Also, the hatch marks in the shadows of the floor are gorgeous and really helps the environment come to life.

# data[].attributes.body
I think I'm just obsessed with patterns right now. I have just been really enjoying how visually striking that patterns in fabric can be.

That chair behind the figure just feels so believable in its space, seems to have the same attention to detail as in the figure, I am enjoying all of the subtle shifts in color within the chairs wood.

# data[].attributes.body
Contrast of the black rabbit hidden behind figure, feels very ominous, which fits the magical but ominous theme of Alice in Wonderland. I also love how the face seems to utilize the tone of the canvas as an undertone. And the pattern on the pants is so well done, I always want to do patterns until I realize that they are actually very overwhelming.

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoy the painted lines, with the uneven pressure, it feels more natural and organic than general art with line art. I enjoy how the striped clothes were handled, no shading needed, the stripes following the form of the fabric already gives me what I need visually to understand the shape of the clothes

Paint is so scrumptious

I appreciate a lot of the fine details that makes this painting feel more real than life

# data[].attributes.body
Gorgeous balance of preciseness and messiness. I enjoy the chaotic but well-planned brush strokes paired with the neater brushstrokes on the face

# data[].attributes.body
Watching the process of this water color painting was so cool, the artist allowed the paint and water to flow freely to create this portrait, and I especially enjoy the red droplets that were used to color the cheeks

I feel like it is kind of weird to add a five nights at freddy's painting to my vrj but I really enjoy the rendering of Bonny and Chica, I am really interested in the strange flatness they have

# data[].attributes.body
Date and title is unknown, artist claimed this painting was from "a few years back"

I enjoy the brushwork and the beautiful purples and blues mixed into the shirt
