Art Share🎨

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 like it! i can't draw, so the subtle moves you do - check out the butt, the knee, - just amaze me. i can't buy my own ruse like this (i don't know if that makes any sense to anyone else). just so cool.

Change up the line thickness, you're not drawing with a ballpoint. For example look at the left elbow: the light side, the dark side, and the crook definitely can't have the same outer line. It's got some differences, but the extreme shift in lighting should make it more obvious. You can even drop the outer line completely for that effect.

Check Klimt's sketches for inspiration. There's a lot of subtlety in there. For example check the second drawing here https://artsandculture.google.com/story/XQXhqy-HRypmLQ . The photo/scan is kind of bad, but you should get the idea.
