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.

That’s really cool. I love the style so much!

thanks! very kind of you.

Looks good. You have liner on one eye and not on the other, which is the only thing that I really saw.

Your proportions, expression, colors, composition, etc., are great.****

Yeah, I realise it now. Thanks for pointing it out.

It reminded me of Marisa Tomei. Not that it’s a portrait of her, but as if it’s a relative.

[–] rippermonty@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago

that's a nice idea though. Thank you! I'll draw her face next.

I think it's really good. Keep at it! What software are you using?

[–] rippermonty@feddit.uk 2 points 1 day ago

I use Krita. although I use maybe 10 percent of its features.

A lot of personality shining through here

[–] rippermonty@feddit.uk 1 points 1 day ago

Thank you Sir!

I love the art style and facial expression. It feels like a very relatable moment - like when you hear something wild in public and can't help but turn to look.

You are right, The reference photo didn't have too much detail on her face, it was a wide angle shot from distance and she was having a look back while walking on the street.

It has a lot going for it.

If there was more contrast on the face (so it’s less flat) and thicker eyelids (less white of the eyes as well or maybe they’re too uniformly white), I’d wager the face would “pop out” more.

It’s coming along nicely!

[–] rippermonty@feddit.uk 2 points 1 day ago

That's a valid point, I made it overly saturated and lost some contrast towards the end. Thank you!
