Weird Art (for Weird People)

Weird art is where imagination runs wild, and rules politely excuse themselves. This community celebrates the bold, the bizarre, the tender, the delightfully unhinged.

If it’s strange, soulful, handmade, and human, it belongs here. All weird art is welcome… as long as it’s not AI-generated.

Thank you so much! For shading, I work in layers to build up the depth and texture. Start shading with an HB to build the 3D form, then go in with a dark lead and isolate the dark areas and shadows, then finally a mid tone lead to refine everything and mesh it all together.
