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.

Thank you everyone for the kind words. I will try to keep doing art; didn't realize how much benefit it brought to my mind.

Let's stay creative. The world needs us.

Hey now! That's the door knocker photo that I posted a couple weeks ago.

Nice piece.

Thank you for sharing. I have been looking for a theme for a while and couldn't stop looking at that photo so here we are.

No wonder that took you 17 years to finish, that looks amazing!

(/joke)

For not doing any art for 17 years this is stunning, down to the pencil marks for the wood grain, just excellent work!

Your 17 years rusty is more skillful than my best, and it was fun seeing your posts evovle

Thank you. I think the wait made more aware of the technique to assure myself I still can draw.

If this is the quality of work you can produce then all I can say is I'm really happy you found it in yourself to start drawing again 17 years later. It's great.

Thank you. My selfish reason for sharing is to know I have some level of skill and I am not deluding myself I can produce, albeit simple, some level of art.

OMG!! 17 years? It doesn't matter! You can enjoy making art tomorrow, today, or for years to come! :3 You have so much talent <3

[–] Marthirial@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Thank you. That's the plan. Not stopping again; had the best time to give it up.

[–] astramenae@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

great! I can't wait the next post :3 Good luck!

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago

Wow. Just wow.

Thanks for posting.

[–] hexdream@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Awesome work,.and funky looking pencil too.

[–] Marthirial@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

Thank you. It is a mechanical pencil, which I have several, but this one with cheap graphite worked great for the wood grain.

[–] ace_garp@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

Excellent effort. Great to see it emerging.

Thanks for sharing that journey.
