>>3104335>"screams amateur"the only amateur thing is you screaming at it because it doesn't follow a "rule" you were taught. protip: good art often breaks the rules. also it was clearly painted with a larger brush that is a bit streaky and imitates a brush that has a frayed end.
>>3107464the common advice is that the bigger the better, but it comes down to personal taste in the end. some people paint huge images with a tiny brush and it looks good. adrian smith is an example of this. other people like bouguereau blended all the brushstrokes anyways so it doesn't matter what size he used.
