Art Roast 2023: A Humorous Critique

What’s up, guys! Welcome back to our first video of 2023. We’re gonna do a roast, so you know what that means – grab your popcorn, grab your chips, grab your unhealthy food, sit your butt down, and enjoy this absolute destruction of not only your art but also my sanity.

So, I asked you guys on Instagram to put your work under the hashtag #samrosme17, and we have 11.6 thousand entries of people who are sacrificing themselves for our entertainment. And just before we get started, everything in this video is a joke and it’s meant for entertainment purposes, so don’t take it too seriously. Yeah, don’t hurt yourself, okay?

Roasting the Art

Normally, I would start off with the top posts, but I want to switch things up. I don’t want to just look at the most popular pieces. I’m going to go to most recent – we are diving straight down into the gutters. This is gonna be good, and you know what? It doesn’t disappoint.

Sir Jeffrey Thomas practicing the asaro head – why does your asaro head look so shook? What happened? And would you look at that, three posts down, Sir Jeffrey Thomas again. I improved the asaro head. Jeffrey, you know what? It’s time for you to take a nap. It’s time to settle down. Everybody quiet, it’s Jeffrey’s nap time.

Dwayne The Rock Johnson, this is unfinished. I just cannot get any hairstyle right on this one. Well, you know what? It doesn’t hurt to try something. You didn’t even try, you just left her looking like a bean. Okay, look, that might have been a bit harsh – if you are bald and you are watching this video, I’m sorry. I’m sorry that you’re bald.

When you’re looking at a reference of a person with darker skin, there’s gonna be a lot of reflected lights. When you’re looking at an area like on top of the brow ridge, on the forehead, on the nose, there’s gonna be some lighter tones that are going to tell you what the form looks like. What did you do? It’s flat.

Encouragement and Critique

Here’s my try on doing a style study of Sam does Arts because he’s the reason why I got into digital art. This is so wholesome. I want to get roasted so bad. I mean, just based on this study alone, I don’t know if it was the right call for you to get into digital art, but you know what? You keep this up, you keep working hard, you keep at it, and one day, I believe you can become a lawyer.

Oh, wow, we got some furry art in here. Been a while since I put this much time and effort into an art fun practice. You know what, hey, if you like fuzzy things, if you like furry animals, you do you.

My first painting for 2023. She looks so tired and sad. What happened to her? I think it’s because of that dark patch under her right eye. It looks like a dark eye bag. This is how I look after one of these videos.

Okay, let’s do the exercise, guys. For the hundredth time. Okay, put your finger over her head. Okay, covering the entirety of her head. Just like this. And keep your fingers there. But while we’re covering her head, let’s try to imagine the size and shape of her head and where it might be. Can you picture her head? I’m picturing it right now. Once you start seeing it, let’s lift our fingers in three, two, one – it’s so small.

Conclusion

And with this piece, I think I’ve had enough. We’re gonna end this video here today. I mean, good anatomy, but boy, oh. Alright, well, you know what? Mission success. I have been mentally damaged from the shooting of this video. If you guys want to support my descent into madness, head over to my Patreon and check out our monthly tutorials. I hope you guys were thoroughly entertained by this video and maybe learned a thing or two along the way. But don’t take anything I say too seriously – it’s all a big joke. Life is a joke.

With that being said, feel free to subscribe to my channel for more content like this, and I’ll see you guys on the next video. Okay, guys. I hate to be talking about weather all the time, but it’s five degrees and raining in Toronto, and it’s January. This is unheard of. It’s great. It’s fantastic. I love it. You know, maybe global warming isn’t so bad. Maybe we need more of this.
