This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed π¨
Please visit https://lemmy.world/c/artmarket as well! This is a community for artists to post their portfolios and announce availability to take commissions, as well as get visibility for Ko-fi, Patreon, and other funding for art activities.
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).
NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content 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 or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.
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.

Wow, how did you do it?
I painted it in Rebelle using digital oils!
How close do you think you could come if you had any paints other than digital? I'm wondering if it's possible.
I've been wondering the same thing lately, but I have honestly no idea. I don't think I'd come anywhere close though, given that I have no experience with traditional oils.
I have around three weeks of experience, and I'm hooked on painting. I bet you could come a lot closer than you think. I never took an art class. I never thought I could even begin to paint anything that wasn't just ridiculously stupid looking. Then someone gave me a bunch of paints. I made what I thought would get a few laughs. I posted where people post art that's terrible. They didn't think so. They thought it was deep and moving. So, my confidence has been growing ever since. It was a confidence issue.
That's awesome and quite inspiring! Lack of space is a bit of an issue for me, but I've seen people do amazing paintings on a small scale, so I might look into that.
I tape off part of the canvas. I paint something, then I remove the tape and expand it so stuff looks epic.
As someone who often has to expand the (digital) canvas after the fact I really appreciate this advice!
