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 was determined to draw some fish for the "#fishfriday" thing I saw on Bluesky, came up with some bettas in pencil during the week! Don't know how to photograph it so that it looks better yet haha, my tablet is taking a break. Also have a limited amount of pencils for now..

More photos of the bettas on my Bluesky 🐟

Very clean coloring work! Your style translates well into traditional media. How are you liking the change of tools? I'm working on the opposite, trying to up my digital painting skills.

Thank you! I think that enjoying a lot of different ways of making art is a bit of a problem for me haha I really like trying new stuff, but not enough money and space for aaaall of them 🫠 I liked drawing with pencils because I feel less incentivized for it to be absolutely perfect, if it makes sense. When I make digital art, I can move everything around and erase freely, with pencils it's not as easy haha, even if the colour isn't 100% what I wanted, I work with it! Lots of layers! And I am trying to be nicer to my art and share it with people now πŸ˜ƒ So yes, the change of tools feels really nice haha, I think my hand still prefers digital though πŸ₯²
