This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed π¨
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.
Simplification is the game with art. And I wanted to do something with more detail than I normally include. Looks like a real face.

Realistic and painterly. Very nice mix.
Thank you!
The photo had these things called pores. Very hard to paint so I skipped.
I love the details on the lips and eyes. Very nice work
Thank you, I'm happy with them too. The little details to make them look realistic I don't think before painting I ever noticed. The little light but at the top of lips, the inside rim of eye lids, etc.
I'm nearing 50 and feel like until I started trying to be a better artist I've never really seen a face before.
Having the artist eye is a really nice skill to have, I found it adds beauty to everyday life. The way a cloud shape blends into the blue sky, the way a person's hair flows in the wind as they walk, how a dew covered leaf glimmers in the sun. It adds a layer of happiness to a dreary world.
Totally agree!
Great. This looks really good. Eyes and lips are amazing.
Just a suggestion, looks like the eyebrows can be improved. Also the freckles feeld kind of patches, and weirdly uniform. May be brush size variation will help with eyebrows?
Again I don't mean to say negative things. I am just sharing what I felt.
Good observations, thank you!
Oh yeah. This has a soul. Peering through each other's windows. I like the accents and details. Great job.
Thank you!
Dang that's amazing!
Thank you!
