Ah good, glad to see you do work in oils.

If I may, as a retired critic: you seem to perform best on "sketch commissions." Your subject matter and themes are straight out of a beginners course in "fine art" as from a college. No offense intended, but I am a critic and that is a point I must make.

Explore the difference in your mind between subjects you choose, and when you do your sketch commissions. I think you might find that the process of letting go your own perspective has a benefit you need to explore further.

Try to get out to the woods or otherwise in nature and leave the textbooks and their contents behind. Look for inspiration in nature. Look at the behavior of animals in their natural setting if you have the ability. Try to capture their natural behavior. And I encourage you to experiment with applying that element to your human and furry subjects and characters in your artwork. I think you will find great inspiration.


Finally, your "sketch" style is not something I would regard as sketching. It speaks of finished product to me. If I might suggest, get some acrylics, some inexpensive canvas or canvas paper, and experiment with that style using the real paints and brushes (acrylic, far less costly to acquire and "waste" with experiments).


Thank you again for your contributions. Art is rare on this site, and its good to see some contributors do still come here.

Thank you for your criticism of my works.

You inspired me to take brushes and paint some stuff in oil again.
( also about that submission it is really old one hope now my skill in oil painting has grown))
