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

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.

No, not yet. But I think I'm getting closer.

The advice I've gotten has helped a ton, and I've watched so many YouTube videos on how to do it. Not happy yet but this is better than day 2 for sure.

Man, this one really does nail his likeness. Likes that's completely identifiably, unambiguously Samuel L Jackson

Without the photo there there'd be no way to think it was anyone else

I was gonna say, I think the answer is "yes!" Great work!

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Lol, thank you!

Hell yeah you can my dude. I agree with the others, I would guess it was Mr. Jackson even without the reference photo.

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This one you captured him, you can definitely paint Samuel L Jackson, but if you decide to try again tomorrow I'll still enjoy it crossing my feed

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It's not close enough yet for me. And thank you!

Now you’re on to something πŸ₯³ Well done, and in only one iteration you’ve done a bang up job on the lips.

This is a proper likeness, dude. Woop woop!

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you! I redid them several times.

[–] beastlykings@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looks excellent. Beats anything I can do 😬

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

nah you captured him well, any additional technical accuracy you integrate into your style here is a stylistic choice, the picture itself feels honest.

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Thank you! Then my style isn't what I want yet πŸ˜‚
