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.

After watching Mr. Robot based on the recommendation from Rubisco@slrpnk.net here on Lemmy, I was then encouraged to paint Darlene. Her hair and lips intimidated me the most. How did they turn out?

You crushed it, as usual! You did a great job with the hair by the way, but I think I most like the way you handled the colour change behind the glasses. It's clear you've worked hard to get where you are with your art! 🀘

Thank you! I'm trying.

I like that part too, sunglasses done right seem to make a work of art feel more grounded and three dimensional to me.

I thought the thumbnail was a screenshot from the show.

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago

Thank you! That was the reserve material for sure.

[–] Agrivar@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Really nice work! I dig your technique.

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

Thank you!!

They turned out great, dude. Well done!

"Yeahh, that's Darlene."

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Thank you! 😁

That's a great rendition. In my mind I remember her with a fuller upper lip.

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

You're probably right, lips are hard. Particularly unique ones like hers.
