I will never understand football

I feel like it’s sort of a rule on artist social media that you don’t critique unless the posting artist specifically requests it? But maybe I’m old and the damn kids need to get off my lawn.

(Btw that is the literal extent of my basketball knowledge. Ball + basket = points)

Thank you!

Not that I’m comparing myself to a professional- just someone who is passionate and is always improving. I’m not saying I don’t have things to learn- I just don’t think it’s gonna be anything from this guy.

But some people get off by demonstrating that they know something.

I see this as the equivalent of me telling a professional basketball player that he wins by putting the ball in the basket. It’s not wrong, but it completely misses the point.

I think this is the case- his advice isn’t wrong, usually you would work through primary forms, then secondary forms, then tertiary forms. And that is how I work. But this video is specifically addressing neck textures- and shows that he didn’t watch anything besides the opening shot of the video.

Good advice.

I think I’m just in a mood because of *gestures widely to dumpster fire of a country we live in*

And yes, I’m probably being too sensitive….

I haven’t been to the studio in three days and I’m pacing around like a tiger in a cage with no enrichment. But lots of food. Too much food. I’m very full.

For context, this is the comment that got me all worked up:

Thank you!
