Well, I'm guessing they are a part of the loud crowd that think the human body should be banned from art, that we should pretend it doesn't exists, and everyone should adjust and create work just to please them.
Luckily, I've been around long enough to not care, and will continue study the subject in the world all humans share - whenever I want to :) I find it interesting when people who have contributed 0 posts of art to the reddit try to lecture me on what art is (like it was an objective thing).

Disregard reddit opinions, grind art. This is the way.

Also, if you don't mind me asking, when you paint the light and shadows do you idealize the light or do you stay accurate to life with all its complexities.

Thanks, yes I found it funny when checked the commenters complaining and it turns out they poste no artwork themselves, just putting their "opinions" under other people's posts.

In this I followed the natural light first but then changed it a bit, because I did not think the image worked, thanks for asking :) For example the background was dark irl.
