>>6674140Believe it or not, there are enough people who are worse than this.
They rather commission someone who's cheap, available (!), probably local and a bit better than themselves than invest into materials and practice.
Either pay 25$ and receive something you couldn't do better either OR pay way more for an equally shitty, self-made result.
Option 3, pay more for a good result, is crazy to them. Not to mention that good artists aren't as easy to commission.
>>6674454I think this every time when I see face-ups from that one person on Tumblr. They number the face-ups and are at nearly 100. There's just so little visible change in them. I know roughly how much I did myself (similiar amount she has done) and we are worlds apart.
The fact they don't even properly clean the heads prior painting (there's always some crusty residue especially between the lips) and can't be assed to paint lashes makes it even funnier. Don't call it a face-up attempt if you skip major parts.
Anyway, problem is: just repeating shit =/= practice.
To actually get better at something you need to know what you are doing.
You need to learn some theory, apply it, look at your work and ask yourself what's lacking and so on.
If you just mindlessly paint 100 heads you will not be much better in the end. If I play violin for 100 hours I will not get better just because I never stopped moving my arm. Repeating the same wrong step again and again will not magically lead to the correct result.
