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.

@SplashJackson@lemmy.ca, if you’re out there, this one is for you! I had a lot of fun with this one. I may just slap some polish on it and make a sticker.

What are the boundaries or guidelines for what you can be asked to draw next?

Can I just say something like "Give me a 7 second horse" or "give me a 20 minute map of the world, from memory", or are you specifically looking at computer game characters etc?

No real boundaries or guidelines. I like taking requests because I like making connections with people and it gives me a chance to draw something I otherwise might not have drawn on my own. The only real guideline I have is to be concise. I’m going to gravitate towards the suggestions that I think I can put a fun spin on, so if there’s a ton of detail in the request, it might land low on my list of priorities.

As far as time goes, I’ll usually put in as much time as I think the things needs, although something like drawing a map of the world from memory in 20 mins would be fun, so I’m open to that as well.

So if you have any suggestions, I’d love to see them!

Draw something in the art nouveau style? Maybe Krampus, it seems that time of year?

[–] tomixdoescomix@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I appreciate you believing in me enough to think I might be able to pull off art nouveau. Let me push it around in my brain a bit and see what I can come up with. Adding it to the list!

You missed the ‘square’ block that connects the right leg to the body.

It took me a minute but I get why there are ghosts… duh.

Here’s a 10 minute sketch.

I enjoyed the way you did the hands, the simplified and clean lines.

What software are you using? Are you working in layers?

[–] tomixdoescomix@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

My thought was the blocky connector was on the other side and out of site, but you’re right.

I use Clip Studio Paint on a Microsoft Surface. I do work in layers. In this one, I just had one layer for the line art then one layer for each of the two tones which are just black set at 40% and 60% opacity.

Thank you!
