What does /art/ think about Kelly Wang's body of work?

I've recently started drawing digitally after only sketching with pencil and paper for years. Among other many other things, I've tried drawing variations of the same head (from imagination, I'm not using a reference like I probably should) with slight variations every couple of weeks to track my progress. The first five or six of these were drawn in Photoshop Elements and the rest in Clip Studio Paint. Admittedly I got sloppy with the construction and lining of the heads because I was in a rush to get to the coloring stage, since this is my first time seriously working with colors, and made many mistakes which I knew not to make. Aside from using a reference and taking construction and line work more seriously like I mentioned earlier, what else should I do to improve?

Episode 3 - Screen Shot Drawing
Basically for this one just screen shot some sort of video or image and draw from that. Is it a mind's eye drawing? A test to interrupt your understanding of one media platform and transferring it into your own? Shit, I dunno, but any reason is a good reason to draw. So let's see what you got!

Gonna just go ahead and make this thing a general thread so I'm not flooding the whole board with my own content lmao ;)

how can such a shit artist be so popular and loved?

Recently I came across this video of some women performing a "comedy" music routine; in which they would portray extremely out of touch old crones for lack of a better label and play either some original or cover of a more famous song. The thing is their comedy is not that funny and their songs are not much to listen too just as audio. Nearly all their sets, their set up is as long as the song they perform. It's really the entire performance that creates their true value, the songs are more of a reasoning to their presence, rather than the main draw, while their choice of songs (or cover songs) either clash with their personalities or support them, both of which draws some sort of comedic value.

Wikipedia defines Performance art as: "… an artwork or art exhibition created through actions executed by the artist or other participants. It may be witnessed live or through documentation, spontaneously developed or written, and is traditionally presented to a public in a fine art context in an interdisciplinary mode"

I find the Kransky Sisters not to be very funny (maybe a little funny), but more so overwhelmingly interesting. They harbor characteristics vaguely familiar with individuals, both real and fictional. They emit the reminisce of a secluded, pre-Victorian subculture that would have never been acknowledged if weren't for their passion to entertain. I honestly can't tell of the eldest is doing this as some 4D larp or this is legit who she is.

What would /art/ consider as "performance art"?

seriously i just dont understand why new angle suddenly poses new problems and challenge despite having drawn other subjects in similar angle… it's like the prsctice and studying becomes entirely differeny despite artists works with the same bargue again and again, in order to, supposedly, tackle everything else….

i need something more general but i guess that's why there's only so much JG type heh

what do i do? the figure just dont exist and i can only live with ctrl Z????

I've recently taken up whittling as something to do to pass the time and not have to go braze the elements out in the work shed. These are the two I've made so far, each about 3 hours overall (including small breaks here and there)

What does /art/ think of whittling?
