“Am I regressing?” Jackie! It looks so good, no way!! Sometimes we just aren’t vibing with our work bc we’re missing something we don’t even know. Keep looking you’ll find it!
Idk if it's been around a while and I've just never seen it or if it's new, but people talking about "regressing" in art drives me crazy! Art isn't an objective skill with clear markers for good and bad. You can't go backwards in a thing without a forwards. If you feel like your art isn't where you want it, it's not because you're worse it just means you need to steer yourself back in the direction you want to go. 'Regressing' feels like it was made up to make artists feel bad/worried
Love her tummy! You blend cartoon style with realistic anatomy shapes and it always brightens my day to watch. Ur process is so smooth even when ur not feeling ur best ❤
Your art has improved so much and its helped me improve a lot in my own art. It definitely has helped to see that it is okay to have good moments and bad moments with your art but to avoid seeing it as a complete fail and be able to learn from the bad art.
Thanks for being transparent with your emotional and mental state. We all need to see more content creators being human :) Keep it up. You'll get back in stride soon.
And to top it off, not all grapefruit and citruses are perfectly the same when sliced. Some have thicker rines than the fleshy part of the fruit(depending on which citrus fruit it is and how it's cut).🤔🍊
i love watching you struggle really hard because (and this is not intentionally a comparison of skills) but if you still struggle with the skills you have now, it just proves that we're forever our own worst critic haha. it makes me feel better about my own struggling!
it's SO real - that whole process of being "this is so bad" but it's only better in hindsight - you can obviously see your growth. Never Doubt that you're growing ! Also, IF you're open to it, I think the thing that makes the grapefruit stand out is that there are not visible lines that the rest of the piece shares, so it sort of stands out. (like it's not outlined in black like the figure is!) I hope that helps, but it still is harmonious with the piece overall :) :)
Jackie this is so wonderfully relatable, I'm sitting in a very similar artblock right now. I mean this, genuinely and fully. The old piece is GORGEOUS but the new piece adds such warmth and volume WOW! it gives me a lot of hope and inspiration
All of your feelings are valid and relatable. I don't think you did anything wrong. You've definitely improved over the previous one; you're being hard on yourself, and that's okay! Your art is as incredible as the one who makes it! ❤
If you hate it today you might love it tomorrow. I write and draw, and imposter syndrome gets to me all the time. So looking at my creation with fresh eyes truly helps.
Your struggle is so relatable but the final piece looks amazing!! It’s so much more dynamic than before and definitely more atomically correct!! Excellent job!
In the new piece, the grapefruit is a cold orange while the greens and yellows surrounding it are all quite warm colors, thats why it stuck out so much. Love the piece anyways!! :D
Just wow your paintings have really improoved the lines the coulours the shapes the light everything is more confident, stylised and it has a vibe love ittt😍😍 hey don t worry it is complitely normal to have art blocks and downs sometimes idk if there is bad comments there but don t let anyone put you down you can be proud🎉🎉🎉
The new version looks so good 🥹 I think ultimately it might fall into style preference, but your shapes and shading have a lot of dimension now!! It’s also super relatable to see an accomplished artist like you being transparent about their struggles and ultimately just nailing it in the process 🔥
I LOVED the final result the way you did the textures and hair was gorgeous and it’s definitely an improvement no doubt but I feel like maybe half way through you should’ve put away the reference so your new skills could show. seems like you were holding yourself back on some things to ‘stay true to the original’ when the point imo of a redraw is seeing how you would approach that drawing now! :-)
I love it. Ad I love that you feel confident sharing your feeling with us. Lets us know how to respond. If we should share our feelings in the comments or what we like, what we don’t like, or sometimes say nothing in the comments. Thanks😊
Thank you for being vulnerable with us ! This was very relatable ! I love the new drawing ✨️ I think sometimes when we are exploring changes it can be frustrating to not feel as comfortable as we use to ! But its a cycle and soon youll be back at being at ease with your choices hopefully 💗🫶🏾
Lmao “looking at this drawing after looking away for a few minutes, it’s pretty good!” This is the clear eyes effect, and I gotta remember to do it more. You always see things you didn’t notice before and forget about imaginary issues you were bothered about if you just come back to it with clear eyes.
I love it! Especially the overhead lighting! The whole time though I was thinking PLEASE ADD A SHADOW TO THE GRAPEFRUIT (I think it needed some kind of shadow cast by the hand) other than that though it looks amazing definitely better than anything I could do
This new version is actually so gorgeous and i can really feel the dimensions of the drawing despite it being 2d and stylized! I think theres so much growth between this one and the last one (the last one is still good tho!) And idk, i could say so much about how it feels like you have an even stronger grasp of anatomy and how to translate that unto 2d space but ill just say it looks beautiful and youve absolutely improved!
thanks to share this with us it's a common feeling but i think you put too much pressure on yourself, both are good for different reasons. Sometimes it's okay to just take a break and not overcriticize the making. I feel like when an artist is having fun you can feel it, so just have fun ! both pieces are good imo
I love it!! You’ve really improved so so much! I hope you get out of your rut soon! I was in a really bad one and you really helped me get out of it!♥️
ITS INSANE how there are soooo many artists (Jackie, samdoesart) who have said they’re not loving their art recently AND THEIR ARE IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL LIKE??? as an artist myself I can understand how to can feel like your not progressing in art but just because you’re not going forwards does NOTT mean you’re going backwards
Comparing the two pieces, you can see the growth and evolution of your style. :D If you want critique on the grapefruit, I think the new grapefruit is sticking out more because it has more of a painterly texture and its more pinkish-ruby in color that isn't really anywhere else on the piece vs your old grapefruit, which (to me) had a more airbrushed look, making it and its colors look softer.
When you said the old one was not that good I thought, no way... But then when you completed the new one I was able to see how much it could be improved! Damn 😮
I Love your art, I Feel the newer portrait draws your attention to the grapefruit, while the older one which (don't get me wrong still looks great) feel more like it draws your attention to the grapefruit AND the lady's face. Keep up the good work and keep on inspiring, you can only improve from here.
Seriously amazing work. I think this is a really good exercise in learning the subjectivity of art - the parts you find frustrating, other people adore. However on the note the you are accepting criticism on the grapefruit slice, the only thing I would change is perhaps adding more segments? It might allow for a tiny bit more 'detail' without changing the general aesthetic of the piece. Plus, it has the added bonus of distinguishing the grapefruit slice from and orange slice! Though then again what would I know. Love you anyways!!!!!!!!
Hey Jackie! Both works are beautiful but the one from this year is STUNNING 😍 Sorry you’re struggling with your art right now! From how you’re talking about it, it seems like you’re at a point where your eye is more developed than your mechanical skills which is frustrating but part of the process (as I’m sure you know).
the new one is a definite improvement, you are crazy and so self critical. but sometimes its like that. sometimes mentally you just cant un-feel that negative naggy feeling. if i could give a critique not related to the art itself, i suggest maybe next time you redraw a piece you DONT like. because your artistic brain will be able to spot the mistakes and stylized choices you wish you had made before much easier, and it will show more clearly the extent of your skill improvement. with this piece i think it was hard to feel like you were capturing a vibe or improving it because it was already a good piece. and sometimes, even if a piece has technical flaws, one can still consider it finished and at its peak, so i think you made this challenge a little extra hard for yourself by picking a lovely image already. it almost mirrors how you compare yourself to other artists that you consider great, you wont be able to replicate their art 100%, and you might not be able to replicate the feeling of an older piece you love, because it has that vibe because of its timeframe. sorry for rambling, i did find this interesting and entertaining, but it sucks seeing such a skilled person start tweaking over nothing LOL. hope you get out of your rut soon!! much love!
I feel like the biggest problem in your art is that, Jackie. It looks amazing, but it could be even better if you let yourself free from those thoughts. What I would recommend is trying to find artwork from when you were a child and you just drew without any concern about "if it looks good."
Going back to stylization after focusing on realism for a while is HARD. It takes time for those two parts of the brain to connect but it's worth the effort. That's been my experience anyway
I can definitely feel the struggle with this one blame it on the brushes I think the grapefruit looks out of place is because it feels like its not interacting with her like the lighting the shading it would leave I guess maybe shadow on the slice from the fingers could help separate them from each other?
I actually do like the old one better, but not because the technical skill hasn’t improved. I just prefer the original style because it seemed more unique. Your technical skill has definitely improved.
I think the reason the grapefruit might not look good in the piece is bc in the original it was orange, and it went along with the orange color scheme, but in the new art, it's reddish
Only thing with the grape fruit is it’s a little to realistic with the white dots in the Center, plus I personally liked it better when u made it slightly darker at the bottom but still overall greatly improved
GOD YOUR ART IS SO COOL!!!!!! i absolutely adore your process and how freely you draw :D for the grapefruit, maybe it seems out of place bc its the only pink in the piece? I think if you hadnt brought it up i wouldnt have noticed anything wrong, but i can see how it seems off. You used the green and yellow throughout your picture, but theres only a single instance of pink which might be why it looks kinda off? idrk tho lolol. it also is kinda in a diff style, like how everything else has big line strokes and large areas of shading, but the grapefruit mimics the background more because of its soft colors and outline (but that can just be a cool composition type thing). overall tho it looks awesome sauce and i dont think any1 would actually see anything "wrong" with it w/o you saying it :P
on grapefruit i think the issue is that you made it look very thick slice? needs a little bit thinner or its maybe looks wonky when you tried 3d dimension? i suggest you to draw like a cilinder try draw again the grapefruit maybe it will help more? correct me if im wrong.
I think both are great, but I like the old one better, and it was nothing to do with the colours or the shading. I like her expression better, because she is not looking sexy, she looks like is about to make a joke :) that is what I like the most
I'd say though lighting and color and anatomy wise the new one's better, it lacks the sense of attitude and casualness the first one has. It conveys a sense of awkwardness instead. Or maybe the bored expression of someone posing when they really don't want to do it. Idk. It's just my personal feeling. So... I like the first one more?
@@petr6782 could you add a /j at the end so we all know you are joking ^^" a lot of ppl post comments like this and it's hard not to take it seriously
@@catgames703yeah! I think for the artist in question too, it would be hard to read it as sarcasm. She might end up feeling worse since she’s already comparing herself to others. 😅 I think a simple /j might help see it’s just a joke.

watching you genuinely crash out is so relatable-
"im going insane!!!!!" this is so me, this is the first video that shows how I feeling myself while drawing omg
and i really love redraw!!!! so jucy
Love her tummy! You blend cartoon style with realistic anatomy shapes and it always brightens my day to watch. Ur process is so smooth even when ur not feeling ur best ❤
Your art has improved so much and its helped me improve a lot in my own art. It definitely has helped to see that it is okay to have good moments and bad moments with your art but to avoid seeing it as a complete fail and be able to learn from the bad art.
Your sense of volume is so much better in the second, I struggle so much with that wth😭😭
Thanks for being transparent with your emotional and mental state. We all need to see more content creators being human :) Keep it up. You'll get back in stride soon.
Your rendering and color improved by miles
Your shapes improved so much!! And the grapefruit looks so much crisper!
And to top it off, not all grapefruit and citruses are perfectly the same when sliced. Some have thicker rines than the fleshy part of the fruit(depending on which citrus fruit it is and how it's cut).🤔🍊
This new one is MILES better, u imporved so much and it shows

Looks great!!! Be kind to yourself! It's clear to me that your understanding of anatomy, or maybe just your interest in realism is coming through!
It’s amazing! What an improvement. It was already good and you definitely made it look more realistic. Well done!

Just bought your class on Domestika and found your channel link in Unit 1. Excited to get into it!
0:53 hAHAHAH I laughed out loud and started clapping at this 😂
No problem Jackie, you're doing amazing!! 💛
Your art is so amazing, you're one of my biggest inspiration !! This piece look SO GOOD ! Sending you good vibes hope you feel better soon :)
Love the stylized grapefruit!
it looks amazing!! i love how your art keeps evolving! your art style is so inspiring!!
you were stressing sooooo much, even from the flat colors it already looked better….good job on this!!
I loveeee❤❤ your improvement is inspiring
When you said the old one was not that good I thought, no way... But then when you completed the new one I was able to see how much it could be improved! Damn 😮
why is this so relatable 😭 your new piece is gorgeous gf love it! hope you get past this soon ❤
I love the volume and the texture and the colors on the new one! You did great!
I like how at 0:48, it says you have 50 B subscribers, and and 4.5 quintillion likes
I love how much more saturated and fresh the colors look!!
I Love your art, I Feel the newer portrait draws your attention to the grapefruit, while the older one which (don't get me wrong still looks great) feel more like it draws your attention to the grapefruit AND the lady's face.

Your work is allways incredibe and very enjoyable to see❤ this artblock will pass AND YOUR NOT REGRESSING AHHHHH PLEASE YOU ARE TOO HARD ON URSELF!!!!
I really love this new one she’s so beautiful ❤
i love your style!!
Your pieces are always so stunning, amazing job!
It’s so much better!!
I like the new one a lot more😊
I love the shape launguage in every one of your pieces
the new editing of your videos is soo good

Jackie getting frustrated over her art and going mad caught me off guard by being so funny 😆
Awesome work. I feel the same about my own art. I like both.

ooooh this colour palette is SO COOL 😍😍
With the stark overhead light, I feel like it should be reflected on her cheekbone too.
I like the vibe and expression of the first one
Compositionally, the second one is better
🧍🏻♀️ me liking it and thinking you did a really nice job 😅 ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This looks amazing! It was a bad vibe day and that's okay!

the anatomy in this one feel much better that in the old one
I redrew and deleted the same drawing 4 times over the past two days out of frustration. The struggle is SO real 😭
Jackie you should do an anatomy tutorial/how to draw parts of the face
Clearly an improvement
It's so good
I can definitely feel the struggle with this one blame it on the brushes
I think the grapefruit looks out of place is because it feels like its not interacting with her like the lighting the shading it would leave I guess maybe shadow on the slice from the fingers could help separate them from each other?
