And when the person, who is lucky enough to be able to achieve that, is just some regular someone, there´s going to be jealousy. Making a living and generating a decent amount of fame, simply by doing what one actually loves to do? Sound pretty awesome. And that seems to be the part that bothers most of you, not her art work. She is putting herself out there for people to see, and having something like 1,29 million subscribers, she is obviously doing something right. Anyone can come online and, protected by the veil of anonymity, claim to be great and amazing at all kinds of things ( right, 690219 ? LOLOLOL, you´re like my favorite here…) And what Rae is doing is not just about art. And chances are, that a sizeable portion of the people that have posted here, are on a lesser skill level than Rae is. But do I think that she has the potential and skills to create something much better? Yes. Do I think that she rushes through her work too quickly and seems to often not put enough thought/heart into it all? Yes. Do I agree with her choices of/opinions on art supplies? No. Even a 12-year-old would know betterĪpparently the green eyed monster has been keeping busy... Is Rae a super good artist? No. Of course the 10 cent brushes are going to be shit. Last one is a bit extra nitpicky, but the comment about how artists might get the false idea their work is shit because they're using brushes 10 cent brushes was fucking stupid. Maybe not, but it did look weird the way she left all that blank space between the two colours and then tried to smear them together. Also, while I've never used the colourless blenders before, I feel like she was 100% using them wrong. The second one is barely better with the biggest difference being it had a flat colour due to the nicer pencils. The paint was shit and there's no making it better though. The construction was so sloppy, especially compared to the second one. I know the supplies were absolute horse shit, but I feel like she still didn't even try. I think I've said it before, but the quality of her art really does just keep going down the shitter. >736698 How many times is she going to regurgitate the same fucking video ideas. Degrees obviously don't mean you're good since majority who study visual art or even graphic design are terrible, and push terrible agendas, it's like studying music and everyone is either tone deaf or takes inspo from Iggy Azalea. If you want to do things like design, or apply to grants/residencies and get into shows you need credentials lol You can learn these skills without help (since one would assume competency before studying) but the whole point to studying art is networking, having the time to grow and getting critique, and working with others that'd hopefully inspire you. It makes you uninspired, you'd want to study art because that's your talent and passion, and meet people who can encourage you and inspire you to create, not drag you down and feel bored, wasting everyones time including their own. >691229 That'd be a hard achievement, and that's not what I meant at all, I was stating the obvious for people who ever bothered wasting their time doing visual arts, in response to someone questioning how, if you had art class in high school it's obvious then.
