Art Shareπ¨
This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed π¨
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.

Sometimes constraints can be paradoxically freeing, especially in the context of creative endeavors. Perhaps you might relax a bit because it is in the corner and thus perhaps less important. Or some such.
You hit me squate on the nose with that one!
Up to recently I could only draw on cheap (5x5 squared) paper, because it's so comitting to do it on 'real' drawing paper.
Painting with the cheap student grade oil on paper? Yeah. Painting with good extra-fine oil on a real canvas? π±π¨π°
I'm trying to fool myself by using cheap "Zap blocks" and mixing in better blocks of paper, but for oil I have no clue.
Life is weird.
Cheers!
I feel that. I'm not much of an artist but I bought two sketchbooks a while back and I simply didn't use the big one until I felt my skills were "good enough" for it. I know it's bullshit but we always make mental barriers for ourselves when the lock on the cage is on the inside.
