[Last time Yusuke had dragged his ass through the critique, but now? Where is all this praise coming from? Shit. Sanji actually chortles at the attempts, and knowing Yusuke a little better now, can tell the words are strangely sincere.
Just like he can tell when he's being (subtly, maybe even gently) called out. The smile dies on his face.
A couple of minutes later:]
nah
nothing like that
just felt like giving Jimmy some hell for dramatic effect, he's not that much of a good egg
[ There's a difference between saying you'll do something, and then actually doing it. And as far as Yusuke is concerned, actually listening and going ahead and trying out backgrounds is worth some praise for the attempt. He can still do some dragging though, don't worry. The status quo will be restored.
... hmm. Well, that's the massive hint not to push that then. ]
There is a reason why drama sells so well in mass media, that's true. I wonder what that says about the general public, that we respond so positively to that sort of thing.
[ yoda voice: mmMMM FUNNY JOKE. :| ]
... Maybe use a visual reference for a camel next time, or study the one you used closer. [ Ah, there it is. Everyone can relax. ] For a first attempt it was decent, but improving is important as well.
also impressed u knew it was a camel, i forgot what it was rereading it [HE'S NOT KIDDING, Sanji spent most of that time trying to figure out what the hell it was. A giraffe? A zebra?]

not sure why the hell i tried that one
i can barely draw an egg yet

[ Proving his own point there. ]
Unless you deliberately put a different type of creature there out of artistic license.
It's good to push yourself creatively. Next time, you'll know what you found most tricky and can focus on improving it.

u know i'm just gonna put a bunch of weird shit in the next one right?
maybe little Jimmy's gonna have a fever dream and flies on a whale
no subject
no subject
i love that bastard
his symbolism gets heavy handed sometimes but i prefer that to other shit
no subject
Then when I say an anthropomorphic egg flying in on a whale wouldn't be the strangest thing I've seen in art, you'll understand.
no subject
can't really compare with that
best i stick to my lane
no subject
But there are a lot of odd things in the art world, so I just might not be as appropriately surprised by it as you think I should be.
