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).
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.
No, not yet. It's a good likeness but I can't get the badass kindness in his expression. Mine is just too intense and I'm not sure why. Plus the eyes are too big and a few other proportional things. What else am I missing?
I feel like the painting looks more like my brother than Mr. Jackson.
Someone didn't measure for this one.
I think the biggest issue with the expression is that you turned him completely en face and tilted the head down. Just compare the proportions of nose-to-chin and forehead in the picture and painting. That's why he went from chill to "paint my face one more time motherfucker!!!"
LMAO! I think the sketch I did first was pretty close and as I painted I got further and further away and didn't notice until I was done. I'm trying to just use one layer like a traditional painter would and it floated away from me one at a time. I made marks for chin, eyes, mouth, ears, and so on along with the sketch.
Normally I'd step away from the painting and come back and fix and go again (trying to mirror Pablo Picasso), but as I'm practicing for these painting sessions I won't be able to do that so I'm trying to find a new technique (like Tigger Woods did for his golf swing) that will work in those sessions and I'm struggling.
