2024 art goal: I'm going throught a pretty bad period of my life but art is still something I love and keeps my mind away from falling in my own black hole of ideas. Sadly I'm having problems to learn new stuff becasue my focus is not that good right now. I hope that 2024 will bring me a more positive mindset and i'll find the joy in learning new things again. Thank you Stephen and Proko (team) for the great videos and everything else you do

Here's my submission for the challenge! I really love portraits and i try to keep a "traditional" feel even if most of my work is digital. Thanks so much for all you did Marco & Proko's team ♥

I love both images but the first one I like the most. The crushing feeling and the sadness you convey is amazing. Good job Marco!

I love the first one there is a clear structure with the body. The neck and shoulder of the second one is warped strangely. But is it is an interesting effect.

I like the second one, it looks cool and creepy, and deviates from the norm just enough to be interesting.

I'm no good at portrait so I can't really give suggestions. I really loved the sort of red texture that's sipping through the image, almost as if the thing is painted on top of a wooden panel. I like this sort of effect. I need to practice using this kind of techniques more as well! Also the rim lighting is pretty awesome as well!
