The approach of doubling down and trying to singularly focus on a shape/color/value never worked. It’s only the omission of everything else that has made it feel easy and intuitive.
Im pretty sure this is some kind of executive function issue with sensory filtering in the brain
A little tip I’ve figured out if you have troubling seeing a visual hierarchy:
Don’t try to focus really hard on one thing (color/value/shape)
Instead, try to visually filter OUT things you don’t want to focus on
For example, filter out everything except for red in an image
The visual system seems to focus on stuff that is highest contrast first, whether it be value or color or shape.
Composition will play with what draws the eye, the speed at which the eye moves, and the balance of where the eye moves on the canvas
@meandeanmachin3 This happens when going to a monitor that is like 120% SRGB or adobe color to a monitor with less color space
If your monitor supports you can set it to be 100% SRGB. That way you’re making digital to look good for the worse monitors and it looks amazing on the nice monitors
I’ve always said in my approach to filmmaking that you need to slow down at times and let the viewer and the audience feel the emotions and process them rather than just think about them. I’d love to try making some liminal art someday
Saw Backrooms last night since it’s been one of my favorite series for a while
Was so happy to see that the film has breathing room to really allow you to feel the weird emotions and horror ✨
I finally made it to WAFFLE HOUSE.
The staff are always friendly, and when I asked if they would sell me a menu, they sold me one for $5.
Next time, I’ll be back at 3 a.m. for fight time.

Actually this is also why we're stuck in remake/reboot hell, young people with new ideas aren't allowed into the industry anymore.
Japan constantly scouts new talent while in the US it's just nepotism now.
I don't like when people throw around "just pick up a pencil". Being an artist requires a ridiculous amount of sacrifice that most people dont seem to realize.
I respect people that can strive to make that sacrifice, but not everyone can.
Heavily agree with this. Sometimes people can be maliciously competitive, critiquing to push you in a direction that isn’t in your best interests.
The best advice I got was to have confidence in my own taste and be smart about whose critique I listen to. Trusted friends only.
Critique is being talked about a lot this week. I’m very pro critique. Most of my job is receiving critique and I’m a better artist bc of it. BUT it worries me that young artists are feeling like they need to listen to EVERYTHING random people online tell them
