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.

Have been struggling to motivate lately, and have not painted anything in a couple months, trying to get back into it.

I've been playing around with more abstract stuff lately - I'm doing a series of prints that are basically just weird circles, hence the goofy old timey name of cyclometry :) The colors on this came out really neat in person!

Clearly I can, but can I get his expression right? I think this is the closest to the expression in the reference yet. Not quite right but I'm not sure what isn't right about it. I think it's in his lips but I've redone them a few times and am no closer. Feedback?

Also I love love love how his beard turned out. I saw a YouTube saying don't try to paint each individual hair and paint shapes that feel like hair, it was mind blowing to me.

And clearly you can tell which image got the most votes in the other post.

Edit: Also my workflow is getting much better. I spent less time on this than the first several I did with way better results. I'm able to see shapes and pick out colors I just couldn't even see before.

Twelve paintings in and I still hear his voice in my head. OHHH, you believe in Samuel L. Jackson now, huh, bitch? GOOD, 'CAUSE YOU 'BOUT TO MEET HIM!

I particularly enjoy the scarf. That was my favorite part to paint.
