This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨
Please visit https://lemmy.world/c/artmarket as well! This is a community for artists to post their portfolios and announce availability to take commissions, as well as get visibility for Ko-fi, Patreon, and other funding for art activities.
Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

I tried really hard to capture the warmth, nuance, and beauty of the models skin and subtracting everything else. I think I did the best I have with hard and soft edges as well.
What do you think?

Watercolor on paper.

The reference model is wearing a black dress on a black background but not pure lightless black. I decided to push it and to give her skin a little sparkle to imply something supernatural. How'd I do?

Simplification is the game with art. And I wanted to do something with more detail than I normally include. Looks like a real face.

Art by using emojis as assets. Post contains a bit of description about the process
(piefed.cdn.blahaj.zone)
I thought about something interesting. Emoji art, make art using emojis only. You're allowed to stretch and resize, and color the emojis. cut up emojis to make new emojis and stuff. You could find SVGs of emojis here https://icon-sets.iconify.design/noto/?keyword=noto
You're allowed to use brushes, as long as the source texture still comes from an emoji
Yeah go free, just make sure to use emojis as source :3
I first tried to do this with GIMP:
Then I decided to go full 3D and use Blockbench. I had already made a room a long time ago
So I made this:
Then I animated her:
and so. she has stuff now, in her, in her void cubicle

Trying to do something a little more stylized and less "photographic". The model's hair is in a bun and is also in gray scale. So a change this big is a big deal for me.

I tried multiple times to get his face right. Three hours of drawing and erasing. I couldn't get it. Total failure. I'll try again some other year. Hopefully before the cancer gets Bruce Campbell. But sometimes you don't ink the drawing you want but the drawing you did.

When you absolutely must paint something over the top fabulous, you must paint drag queens!!!

Inspired by a talk I went to where a scientist was explaining how you can prove that animals use binocular vision for depth perception. You give them teeny tiny 3D glasses and show them images of food that you can only see if you're using both eyes together. And yes, cuttlefish do it.
