This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed ๐ŸŽจ

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.

Sometimes I'm just a dessicated horse skull in ribbons looking for her Punch and Judy.

I saw this post (https://bsky.app/profile/deepgreens.bsky.social/post/3m74weivfec2g) and needed to try to paint it. The photographer called to me unknowingly ๐Ÿ˜‚

How did I do?

They were digging up the yard to install fiberoptic cable today. I asked the guy if I could take a picture, draw it and send him a copy.

One of these days I'll graduate to a real art software tool (and learn how to draw better). Today is not that day.

I feel like it needs way more scenery, better poverty clothing, second goblin kid, detail, etc. Will I ever move past this rough draft? No idea.

Ideas?

I've been struggling with faces for quite a while but I think I'm getting there!

Finally got a graphics tablet after drawing for a year with pencil and it's a world of difference! Undo and layers is like enabling god-mode. It's also nice that the pen doesn't follow previous strokes like on paper.

Braids have been a challenge, especially with perspective. Probably another piece or two before get them really figured out ๐Ÿ˜…

Cabin in the Woods

Saw a photograph of this area and needed to paint it. First time I've painted anything like it. A year ago I would have been far too intimidated to even try it.

Wanted something more "fun" to draw, so I took the suggestion to draw the docker fish ๐ŸŸ. Used blue paper, marker paper with markers, a black gel pen, a blue sparkly gel pen, and pencils for more shading! I think it turned out very friendly haha
