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?

This is really good! I really like the use of color and the painting style is pleasing. The subtle shades of the background blending into her top are especially well done.
If you're looking for constructive criticism, the only two things that stood out were:
the earrings look to be different lengths (but I know earrings like that can appear asymmetrical in real life, so maybe it's just an illusion of the angle)
I think the lower lip highlight is a touch too harsh and makes the lip look a bit flat and cartoonish; maybe needs a little smoothing, a thinner brush, or an additional "mid-light" layer?
But these were little nitpicks after staring at the image for a while. Overall, very nice piece!
Thank you! The earrings the model is wearing are different lengths. I considered changing it from the reference but ultimately decided to leave it.
And I see it on the bottom lip. Thank you!
