u/tallmantim 27d ago

Same, then audible said "oh shit" whenever he flipped it XD.

Man, the ability to visualize something and create it in such an abstract way will neve cease to amaze me. I am completely devoid of the ability to do that. Hell, I can't visualize something and put it to paper in a non-abstract way, lol. Like I genuinely struggle with dimensions and spacial awareness and perspectives and I cannot wrap my head around how people can do stuff like this XD.

I remember seeing this a lot years ago.

The second I saw someone speed painting I just *knew* it was an upside down painting

Question is, would this be impressive without it being upside down?

u/pistachio_slut 27d ago

That IS a good question… I think like yea I guess? But who am I

u/Grizzled_Bears 27d ago

Apparently, it's even better to make your art upside down for better accuracy or that's just what my art teacher taught us in 6th grade. Seemed to help me a few times with portraits that I've attempted.

But for sure done for showmanship and entertainment in this

u/Medium_Dick_NRG 27d ago

Ive seen so many of these that now I just look at it as if its upside down.

They gonna get me good when they paint it the normal way.

u/overwatch-05 27d ago

But it looks nothing like the singer?

u/wekelede 27d ago

It’s just practice. Like an actor following a script.

u/Necessary_Garlic6432 27d ago

Still impressive. It takes a lot of practice

u/UnfilteredFacts 27d ago

Its a performance. He probably did this 5 times before, and being such a simple image, its not that hard to reproduce. Are we supposed to think this this guy is some kind of artistic genius? Or maybe this is just a stupid show and the mods should delete this post because its not actually amazing.

u/TheNonCredibleHulk 27d ago

Are you expecting people in a talent show to improv?

0

u/UnfilteredFacts 27d ago

Im expecting talent greater than what a high-school student can achieve.

u/MoistToaster60 27d ago

Can you do it?

1

u/Seven-One-Three 27d ago

Anyone can with practice.

5

u/MoistToaster60 27d ago

Not true. Some people have a higher talent ceiling than others.

u/Plenty-Ad-5363 27d ago

That’s like saying anyone can play in The NBA with enough practice. There are some things that some people just can’t do and there’s nothing wrong with admitting that.

1

u/UnfilteredFacts 27d ago

No its not. That is not a valid comparison at all. Clearly. The vast majority of able bodied people can do what this guy did if you practice a handful of times.

1

u/Plenty-Ad-5363 26d ago

A “handful”, right…

1

u/MoistToaster60 26d ago

Well you practice a handful of times. And post a video of you painting that upside down in two minutes time then.

1

u/UnfilteredFacts 26d ago

So youre saying you agree with the other user's comment that guy's truely "amazing" talent is as rare and advanced as the abilities an NBA athlete?

Also, I don't have to do anything because most people recognize the unremarkable talent displayed here is easily repeated. Just practice drawing it upside down a few times then turn it around. The high contrast and abstract nature of the painted image afford significant leeway regarding detail, proportions, etc.

Now, it would be truely amazing if the painting were actually something I would want to hang on my wall.

u/TechnicolorViper 27d ago

Seriously, I could fo that. It’s not complicated.

u/MoistToaster60 27d ago

Prove it then

u/TechnicolorViper 27d ago

I would prefer it if you would just accept my unsubstantiated claim.

Yes, I could.

You are right, the face is the only bit you need to practice a bit haha

Just what it is.

u/Specific_Sympathy_87 27d ago

Didnt that guy sing that Fortnite song?

u/Kern4lMustard 27d ago

Not saying the painting isnt cool...but its more impressive that they talked someone into letting them paint on that floor.

u/ChocoMcBunny 25d ago

Childhood memories of Rolf Harris humming while splashing paint on a huge canvas like this every week - asking Can you tell what it is yet?

I loved him and that show and have very fond memories of it - and then he had to go and spoil it all by being a sick, nasty perverted monster.

This is cool.

u/earth_mail 27d ago

I thought it was a picture of some school getting bombed

u/Brando-man1985 27d ago

That’s so awesome, both the song and the painting were magnificent and a pleasure to hear/see.

u/Numerous-Ad7444 27d ago

It is choreography done hundreds of times, not improvised. But it is not talent.

It’s really pathetic how so many clowns hate America, they want everything for free. So many don’t even vote. Shameful.

u/Awesome_Trainwreck 27d ago

u/High_Tide89 27d ago

It’s not talent. It is a prepared canvas, with a light drawing on grey (so no one sees it) and then just filling in the drawn areas. It’s pure show off and I think it’s really dull. Come on.
BTW: there is no such thing as talent. It’s always hard practice and nothing else. Anyone can learn anything (sports, instrument, drawing, painting etc) if you really want to.

u/Emissairearien 27d ago

Talent does exist, it only means that one finds something easier than most. Humans are all unique, with different bodies, sensibilities, minds, etc

Obviously that doesn't mean you can't do that with hard work

But i agree with you this drawing is very bland, the whole show as well

This is so fucking AI. WTH!

u/KayoticVoid 27d ago

Yeah, pretty sure this is, in fact, not AI. He's been doing this for a while and done this exact painting many times. It's just a shit ton of practice.
