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.

You're doing great! It has been neat to see your progress!

Thank you! I'm enjoying finally focusing on my art. I've only been planning to do it for 3+ decades...

Your painting has more of a "say what again" expression.

One day I hope for that to be intentional

I give you permission. Begin at your discretion.

Dad, is that you? How's Arkansas?

Agreed πŸ˜… Still better than I could do in a month of Sundays, though.

Honestly, if the centerline were closer to the reference and the philtrum/vermillion border were brought down and flattened a little respectively, it would be nigh on perfect.

It’s just those two tiny details have a crazy knock on effect for recognizability. You’re on the money in pretty much every way besides πŸ₯³

Oh I see what you mean! I'll practice that more, thank you!!

Meanwhile I think this looks great compared to my stick figures

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Don't knock stick figures! It's where we all get our start. I would draw epic battles with dozens of em shooting each other when I was young.

Not bad. Is this digital or on paper?

Also I think you could make it like 30% more accurate by just making the forehead shorter

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Oh great point! I didn't notice that.

And digital. These were all painted on my phone.
