RE: WATCH OUT FOR FAKES - 4 WAYS TO TELL
Thank you! Yes it's a bit strange, I think it comes from this:
the threshhold for entering into visual art forms has been greatly lowered in recent decades by the introduction of new apps, and these art forms (concept art, movies, photography, industrial design, architecture, sculpture etc) have gained a huge boost in PR by the spread of the computer and the internet. This has resulted in an explosion of the number of people who call themselves artists never before seen. Which has increased competition enormously. And also let many not-so-serious about their art in. This is mostly a good thing of course, but it does bring some problems with it too.
sometimes it's hard to see the line because it's blurred by professional concept art practices such as photo-bashing and -smudging, painting-bashing and -smudging, and paintovers on 3D and such. At least a beginner might think so.
Very well thought of!
l think it comes to basic thing,
People these days tend to forget about the real and basic art and use stock images and filters..l use to have a friend that was always saying: lm gonna buy this pencils! they're amazing and my art will be better,and this paper,and so and so on..
(not saying that good materials help you improve your work)
but..he was lacking at the very basic, such as perspective, anatomy,etc.. so l would tell him: forget about gadgets and get an hb pencil and a piece of paper,and draw! haha
So my point is, that today everything is available and easily ready to users people think that because of that they're entitled to jump all the previous steps..
