Something I did some time ago, but a bright image for dank winter days :)

What's everyone using to draw? I shouldn't be suprised that Lemmy users are overwhelming choosing digital art. Personally, I used the Sketchbook app with a pressure sensitive stylus.

[–] umbraroze@slrpnk.net 1 points 7 minutes ago

I use Krita, and a Wacom Intuos tablet. (Currently on Windows. ...I have confirmed both 100% work on Linux tho.)

[–] pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 36 minutes ago

It, uh, genuinely didn't occur to me that I could draw with my hands physically

[–] orenj@lemmy.kde.social 1 points 1 hour ago

I used the fossify paint app on my phone.

I dont really know how to draw beautiful pictures, or pianos for that matter

[–] Redfox8@mander.xyz 3 points 44 minutes ago

A piano outdoors is a beautiful thing & I like this image for it's simplicity - it makes you stop a moment :)

Someone once told me “if you want to be good at art, try drawing things upside down”.

Here is an upside down apple that I flipped 180…

Here's one from a couple days ago.

[–] umbraroze@slrpnk.net 35 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Here's something I drew last week.

I never got around to really properly starting a game project I was making 9 years ago (gee, time flies) called The Great Adventure. In it you'd explore a tropical island! In the quit screen there was a message "the turtles bid you goodbye!"

Now the game was just a text-based thing written in Turbo Pascal for DOS, but this illustration here is what I had in mind.

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 12 points 7 hours ago

Wow, I haven't thought about Turbo Pascal or Borland in such a long time! Thanks for triggering some happy memories. I bid the turtle goodbye back!

[–] adhd_traco@piefed.social 10 points 7 hours ago

That sounds like a really cute game. Love the turtle too!

[–] steeznson@lemmy.world 26 points 8 hours ago

[–] pir8t0x@ani.social 14 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

This comment section has so much amazing drawings, man.

[–] BitsAndBites@lemmy.world 15 points 6 hours ago

I got a much better response than anticipated. I love it! Ive been trying to make an effort to contribute to Lemmy instead of just lurking. I also started making some small contributions to Lemmy and Lemmy.world.

I love it here, thanks for your participation everyone!
