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.
Experimenting with different pens in a sketchbook, I thought it might be interesting to try this contrast. The page on the right was done with the fattest pen from this brand line while the left was done with the thinnest.
If this sub isn't really for sketchbook work, my bad, please just let me know .
New Berserk chapter looking good
Never read any of that series but I know it's highly respected so I'll take that as a real compliment!
lolololol
The thin pen conveys motion in this style, while the fat one emphasizes negative space well.
Those are really good. The clair obscure and the hatching to create them are great.
You want to study etchings,I recommend those by Rembrandt and Gustave Doré. Those are the greatest artists in that technique (imho) and show what you can do..
Thank you. My Bachelors of Science is in Fine Arts specializing in printmaking so, believe me, I'm more than familiar with those kinds of artists.
Ah. Well it shows. But had you not I'd think they would have blown your mind.
A friend of mine curated a Rembrandt etching exhibit and getting told all the intricacies and details is so enlightening and exhilarating.
