Today I want to discuss a topic I'm not sure you anons like, but I believe to be interesting.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprezzatura
If you want an example, look at the Mona Lisa and, if you want an even more glaring example, at the copy drawn side-by-side. You can see how the woman is looking down at you, "so you think you're cool? Huh."
Now, when I look in contract with what r9k usually does, the results are appalling. Rather than ironic deattachment from the subject, all I see is bitterness and shit that gets boring after a while of browsing this board. So maybe, we could take a little of our time off and learn a thing or two from Renaissance artists before heading off into the world.
"I have found quite a universal rule which in this matter seems to me valid above all other, and in all human affairs whether in word or deed: and that is to avoid affectation in every way possible as though it were some rough and dangerous reef; and (to pronounce a new word perhaps) to practice in all things a certain sprezzatura [nonchalance], so as to conceal all art and make whatever is done or said appear to be without effort and almost without any thought about it."
tl;dr get good at ironic shitposting lads
