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.

sucking at something is the first step to getting sorta good at something

i already have a tablet i use for watching videos and taking notes, and have wanted to get into doing art. so, i installed krita in the hopes of eventually getting some of the rare bursts of inspiration from my mind into a visual form.

just been messing around with learning the program, and i am fascinated with the fact that a few simple lines can translate into something that's actually recognizable. no idea where this piece is going to go and end up at, but hopefully i will stick with it

Don't have a tablet so can't use Krita for Android, but using the PC version, and I find it fantastic. It even overlaps somewhat with GIMP, even if the focus of them is clearly different.

I just put it on my phone from f-driod. It'll be cluttered, but I've not used it before so I'm sure some tweaking could be done to make it more usable

Mine is a normal phone and it's also super cluttered, which makes me think it's designed for tablets indeed.
