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.

It's a good painting, technically one of the best yet. But the face isn't right. I've reworked it multiple times and it's still not right. I'm ready to move on to my next Sammy. The suit was a blast to paint!

I was hoping you would paint Uncle Samuel L Jackson! I'm enjoying this.

I'm glad! The moment I heard his voice during the halftime show I couldn't wait to paint it!

Sick! I've been waiting for this one. My only feedback is that I feel like his gaze is a bit too low

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Yeah for sure, I really struggled with his face.

This is great

If you’re looking for criticism/feedback the cheek dimple is too low and I think adding more shadow to the ear would make the angle of his head feel more natural/balanced

Also think the bottom of the nostrils could be blended just a teeny bit more

Seriously though you’ve got great talent, these are awesome each time I see them!

Great criticism, thank you! I didn't see what you pointed out until you mentioned it.

This is just good, solid work again. The blending on the cloths is great and getting much better. You work on the face is where I feel you could use a bit more focus when you are painting the next Sam. Other than the dimple that someone else mentioned you seem to have lost a bit of his jaw line to help separate his jaw and neck. Not a huge deal, just an observation where you might consider putting more focus on color blending and light/dark color choice to help you.
