The amazing paintings in that cave don’t stop there.
Damn man. At least they made the art they had banging around in their skulls.
Meanwhile I can’t do a thing I’ve got so much reference material for because “what if it’s not just the way I want”
you dumb bitch you can fix it if it sucks holy shit.
Edit: I wonder if cave painters had issues with… not properly representing their vision… their visions were… more bison shaped then, but all the same…
Lol, now I’m imagining 200 feet from this cave is the Cave of Initial Sketches.
Is this the cave where they built a full scale replica for visitors right next to the actual cave because the real cave is too sensitive to light?
Fun fact, it’s actually been theorized that overlapping cave paintings like that were essentially a rudimentary form of animation, as flickering firelight would create the illusion of movement.
TFW ancient cave paintings look more lifelike than medieval paintings.
He looks like he wants to steal my picnic basket…
Surely you mean pic-a-nic basket?
Hey, hey, Boo Boo!
that you are, Unga Bunga the 3rd. That you are…
The uhhhhhhhhhhhh
Looks like it was done using the spline tool.
I’m assuming that’s because they were using the curvature of their thumb.
what is an arm but a series of compasses?
Kinematics be like:
Peak art, an inspiration to us all
It’s honestly pretty good even though it’s rather simple. I look at some paintings from like the middle ages and wonder why no one seemed to actually learn to draw until more modern times. But there was definitely an artist in this cave individual.
I often wonder about that. The human brain didn’t significantly evolve for the past couple thousands of years. Yet, paintings we see from 2000 years ago often look like a toddler made them, with very bad proportions and perspective. Is the notion of perspective in drawing cultural?
Well, the Egyptians had the same art style pretty much unchanged for thousands of years. Archaeologists believe that their proportions were based on mathematics, and was probably taught as the only way to make art.
Many cultures have prioritized stylized art over realism.
Really captured the “if not friend why friend-shaped” energy.
Wanted to see how I could do in comparison. Here’s my doodle:
unironically I’m kinda proud of it. Thought I’d do worse
We can only truly judge your work in 10-20,000 years.
