Art Share🎨
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.

OP this is gorgeous, just because your technical expression isn’t applied as you desired doesn’t mean your art is somehow less
Not OP, but I've never been exposed to those words in that order and I can't tell you how lovely they are. I've definitely needed them before. Thanks for spreading kind words!
Okay sorry, Ive had a bad day and it turned into a rant, tho I still want to say it
Look, Im OP and I don't like this attitude of denying people the right to fail. The important thing is to be proud of your failed projects, as unintuitive as that sounds. What is probably my best painting on a technical level is actually quite garbage, I will not share it again I don't even remember it most of the time. What got the most likes out of everything that Ive posted on DeviantArt was actually made because I couldn't draw an actual necromancer in the pose I wanted, and I turned the whole thing into a skull golem. My favorite concept I came up with - "the beast to devour the sun" don't remember if it was 2 or 3 attempts, both ruined by my lack of experience with the medium Ive used - it taught me how to not do things and I still think both iterations were one of my very best original designs. Lack of failures is synonymous with staying in your comfort zone, with stagnation
Look, this is the one sheet out of 10 that I painted on today and it isn't a failure. But you know what? Failing is fun and slowly gets you back into the rhythm. It's just real damn shame it was watercolor paper, that crap is expensive af
