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.

This is absolutely amazing! I love all the little details – the graffiti, downspouts and vents…

[–] case_when@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Thank you! This was the gnarliest alleyway I'd ever seen. It cried out to be drawn.

[–] MINDistortionTV@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This turned out stunning, fantastic work!

[–] case_when@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thank you! Eight evenings well spent!

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thanks for sharing! It looks great and I appreciate the effort it took!

[–] case_when@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Oh thank you! You're very welcome!

[–] GrantUsEyes@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Awesome perspective work! Congratulations Case!!!

[–] case_when@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thank you! And a lot of that is directly because of the book you recommended. It really taught me a lot!

Nicely detailed. It looks like it would take a lot of time and concentration.

[–] case_when@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Thanks! This was eight evenings -- by the end I was thoroughly sick of looking at it!

[–] calamitycastle@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Really reminds me of the video game Stray :)

[–] case_when@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ooh, this sounds like something I should look into. Is it good? I'm coming to the end of Disco Elysium so maybe I'll give it a go...

[–] calamitycastle@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Definitely! And it's quite short and vibey so would be a good palette cleanser after Disco Elysium. Really recommend it.

This was... a lot of lines.

I am rather tired now.

[–] iii@mander.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

You have my admiration, and permission to go to sleep.

Thank you! I think so too, now my hand has uncramped and I can look at it without going crosseyed.

[–] satanmat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah. That’s really beautiful. Very nice work.

This looks great, what techniques for perspective did you use? I'm very amateur and have only really done 2 point perspective

[–] case_when@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I learned from a book called Perspective Made Easy.

To be honest, I wouldn't hold this up as a great example. There's a lot wrong with it. I insist on drawing freehand, but if you want to do the job properly, a ruler is a must, if only to pay out the guidelines. I'll probably do that for the next big project.

[–] Baggie@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thanks, I'll give it a look. It's been really hard for me to find art books that actually give practical advise.

I typically do use rulers, but if you're referring to the slight curve on the buildings here as they go up, I actually really like it. I know it might not be what you were going for, but it feels like what it feels like to be in an alley like this for me, sort of a fisheye effect that makes the top of the building look more closed in maybe.

Anyway, thanks again!

If you're looking for art books, I can thoroughly recommend that perspective book, plus Barrington Barber's Fundamentals of Figure Drawing -- that's a really good one for drawing people. Also a Giovanni Civardi's Figure Drawing: A Complete Guide. Excellent resources I wouldn't be without.
