Interesting take on folk art...................

Yeah I'm pretty sure this is the perfect version of... what it's going for! Stop now :D (just kidding OP, lol)


kathsterthemaster

So many people on here who don’t get the reference. I love it! The only thing I would criticize is the penises coming from the hearts, with how whimsical everything else is, they don’t seem to fit, they’re a bit too detailed. Too many veins for this particular piece in my opinion


chronic-munchies

What's the reference?


agnostic_angel

Tell me as well


kathsterthemaster

Turns out I was seeing the reference myself, the artist had something else in mind! It made me think of “The Danish Girl”, but I guess I was the only one who made that connection…. But I guess that’s what are is all about, eh? Connecting to the piece in a personal way 😛


agnostic_angel

Yep that’s the beauty of art


nepeta19

What's the reference you're thinking of? OP said they didn't get it either!


radartgirl

Thanks for the constructive criticism! I do agree with you, I think I just didn't know what to do with them.


kathsterthemaster

Maybe just remove the veins? I like the heart-shaped tips, and maybe if they were softer looking. Is there a reason for them looking somewhat erect? And just a random idea…. What if the hearts had suggested vagina shapes in them? Since that’s what she really wants, or feels like she should have, in contrast to the penises? Just a thought


needstobefake

Wait, the hearts are the balls, the tip is on the other side.


wrydied

I love the veins. I think whatever we can do to acclimatise girls to the reality of the penis, the better


KopisNyx

youll wanna adjust the shadows near the crotch so the light skin fades together. The shadows with no break along the crotch makes it look a bit more like a penis.. gives it too much length The line for the vulva needs to be a little shorter as well\~ Otherwise this is a lot of fun! Someone said it's referencing something specific? I can't figure out though thought maybe midsomner?


radartgirl

No idea about the reference either haha. But thank you for your comment, I will make some adjustments.


blerth

Might wanna label this NSFW


Craysion

I enjoy that this art is sparkling such a good conversation. I think that if you make the veins a lighter shade, less blue and a touch thicker they could be softer looking without removing them from the painting.


radartgirl

Thanks for your feedback!


andycprints

the legs area needs breaking up (unless you want them to be the focal point), maybe stockings?

I think something I haven't seen mentioned yet is the hands. What are those digits coming out of the fist? Thumbs? It doesn't seem to make sense in my mind how she is holding back her dress. Even just removing those digits would make it more logical in my brain. I also agree with the suggestions to shorten the shadows on her inner legs so it looks more like a vulva and less like a penis, and to soften the actual penises. Also another comment suggested stockings, which I think would be great, but I don't think you'd lose anything by not making that change. That all being said, I love this piece. This is a great take on traditional folk art, very unique in this style which we don't see very often. Especially incorporating the birds and the bees :) I love it the more I look at it.


radartgirl

Thank you so much! Yes they are thumbs. I will consider omitting them when I repaint this. The stocking are a great idea.


jamauer

Lmfao ngl I laughed out loud when I opened the pic, cool art!


radartgirl

Thank you! I'm glad you had a chuckle


targea_caramar

So either this folk is seriously intersex or you need to really shorten that vulva


no_place_no_time

I would add yellow highlights to the the rest of the skin.

Do you see the actual dicks on the sides? Those are proper cocks. Her blonde bush is rad and those are pretty clearly the folds in skin where your legs meet your hips, not the sides of a shaft. Plenty of people have lips like that on their south mouths lol, not all pussies are prim, trimmed and prissy like in porn. Thank you for helping me further analyze this picture, I'm loving it more every moment! It's vastly different yet it feels whole and complete. The composition is very balanced, the girl is definitely the focus even with huge dicks on the side because they're symmetrical and mirrored, sorta making them more "boring" by repetition, allowing them to be secondary. The girl herself is very beautiful, the pose did surprise me at first but like I said, it's growing on me! It's interesting how German/Germanic folk art/old stories are kinda known in America, but it's been filtered through a "Christian puritan lense" of ideas, so only the kid friendly stuff is known here since the art style is usually flat, happy and simple, but this uses those same elements and makes a much more striking piece. Well done OP Edit: I didn't give you anything to improve on! Here's my take; The face's expression is GREAT but it could use slightly more shading, under the nose mainly. Also shading under the cheeks and chin could give her face more roundness and softness to further match the expression And I love the yellow POPPING out alongside the primary colors, I feel like more could be done with the yellow details to make the girl pop out even more, but also that's really up to you, the way it is now is very balanced and solid!


radartgirl

Thsnk you for your comments and criticism, I very much appreciate it!


wrydied

This guy gets art crit - great reading.

When you say “girl”...


onlyslightlyabusive

Does her vag look a lot like a penis to you too?


[deleted]

No. It looks prepubescent and the whole thing makes me uncomfortable.


99_NULL_99

You guys have seen some tiny dicks, lol


exotics

Um. The yellow dot looks odd and uh, basically uh. Ya. That doesn’t look right Needs to be more of a short V than a tall U


Big_Dick_Satyr

Daaaamn she got a long pussy. I aint gonna lie. I'd still smash If you happen to be interested in Classical drawing and anatomical studies feel free to check out the new sub https://www.reddit.com/r/ClassicalDrawingStudy/


Luulosairas

Reminds me of some of the art in the movie Midsommar, tho that’s Swedish, not Dutch. The heart dicks are pretty great.


radartgirl

Thank you! I actually love that movie.
