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.
Acrylic paint on canvas.
Was able to create raised texture, I really enjoy that when working with acrylic :) I work without a reference so I just had a quick Google search before starting and then painted off the top of my head, so it might not be accurate @-@
Thank you so muchhhh Ur comment made me rlly happyyyy!! I google searched 'octopus' and there is a feature where u can look at a 3D model of it. I do a lot of different things so I can't really point out a certain style I like best...
When painting this I first made a very rough sketch (it's was ugly af) then painted the bg over it and color blocked the basic shapes while also building up paint to raise the texture, lastly I added all the details.
Yes! And the shading looks very clean too.
I'd be curious to see what the very rough sketch looks like. Painting from your memory might feel vulnerable but yields much more interesting results in the end -- Georgia O'Keeffe didn't need her flowers to look perfect, she just painted how she felt they looked, and that made them all the more beautiful. I hope you keep developing your style, without fear of being wrong.
Ahh ur so nice <33 ⚠️warning⚠️ I was just trying to plan it out and this monster manifested itself on the canvas O_o
