This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨

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).

Nudity: Nudity is and 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, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.

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.

I'm taking a drawing class, and we learned perspective this week, so I drew this as an exercise.

Good work! Perspective is one of those things that is pretty mechanical, and one can avoid learning it for a long time by using crutches. It's always faster to work when one has internalized perspective and especially foreshortening so it comes automatically.

Thank you very much! I have to really work at it because I have trouble seeing the big picture as a whole. My process is to focus on minute details, so I start drawing a part of the scene and work out from there. Yesterday in class, my drawing teacher saw me doing that with a bird picture and gave me the recommendation to draw the outside of the whole thing first, so that I could fill it in a lot easier. I tried it, but messed it up. I guess it's my bottom-up mental style 🤷‍♂️
