There are graphic forms that imitate life closely and are impressive in their capability to do so. There are graphic forms that are interesting because of their design qualities and because of the distortion of proportions. There is nothing wrong with either one and there is impressive art in both kinds. Norman Rockwell did impressive work in realistic art. Picasso worked in form distortion and design. There is great design value in your art and it does not need photo reality.
Thank you Sand, you're more of a teacher than anyone else. You have honorary citizenship to the Creedon Republic.
Translation: He's a better teacher because he tells me how amazing my artwork is.
I'm sorry, but someone who constantly tells you how great your artwork is without some concrit to balance it out isn't a good teacher. They're not helping you improve, they're just encouraging you to stick with the same bad habits.
I may not be the nicest person ever, but at least I'm trying to help you improve.
There's so much more to art and drawing than it being anatomically correct. I think the style is really effective.
