>>2109722>I was painting it like that intentionally but you're grading it with a criteria that doesn't apply to it. If you want to critique my work on a classical realistic basis, grade this one.Unfortunately, you don't get to decide the criteria your work is graded upon, that's up to the viewer.
Secondly, don't assume I'm a common ic fag who only likes optical realism, I'm grading it based on how shitty or good it looks to me: there's plenty of impressive non realistic work out there.
Finally, this new painting is not much closer to being 'classical realistic', you're still abusing those brushes and getting shitty textures. You're still laboriously over rendering so that every crease and and fold of your face is exaggerated. And you're still getting used to drawing accurately with a tablet.
You won't get anything useful posting on a critique board if your only response to critique is, "hey, you can't critique it that way, that's not what I wanted."
It's okay. Don't be so butthurt: your traditional drawings are still decent! Maybe stick with that!
