This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨
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).
Nudity: Nudity is and 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, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.
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've been watching a lot of YouTube videos in an attempt to get better at this. This is an experiment with a different set of brushes in an attempt to get something that looks like a traditional painting. Critiques?
It's just a shape to practice tones and coloring on, nothing fancy.
I really like the tones and blending! Only critique I can think of for this particular style, is that the outline feels a bit too dominant, especially on the side of the shadow. What I would try there would be either (a) blending the outline into the shadow, so it is one shape instead of the subject + shadow divided by a line, (b) use a color for the line that is closer to the hue of the subject, rather than mostly gray/black or (c) experiment with line weight a bit. Just some thoughts, I hope it makes sense :)
Thank you!!
