My art is movie more like story board's they use to figure out the details of a scene. I'm actually not subbed to you,I came across your channel as a recommended by. I have never seen art like your's at all. We all have our own art style,it doesn't bother me that some people don't like my art,it doesn't hurt me in any way! I do what I love and that's what matters most, and those that like my art love it,and are amazed by it. I wasn't trying to hurt you, in any way I just left my opinion, that was it! Being in the art world you have to know not everyone will like you're art! It's not a big deal! I'm thankful for those that give me an honest review of my work, it's the only way we improve! I won't be on your channel if you stop contacting me.

It’s a matter of contour, style , composition and balance - also values and colors that balance out and keep the eye moving about the canvas in a satisfying manner it takes practice to put darker or lighter values here and there and putting markings in places that need balancing out to make everything feel in place-it’s a learned thing .. .. and takes time I’ve been doing this for over 65 years and know it’s an instinct after a while -you just know when it’s complete 😀another way to check if it’s working midway through or when you feel it is missing something or something doesn’t feel right is to turn the painting upside down- it’s amazing how the problem stands out like a sore thumb! Another way to tell is to walk into another room for awhile and then re-enter again spotting the problem area immediately - sometimes we work on it too much up close too long and need some perspective ! Happy painting 😀
