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.

I don't know wether or not to shade the eyeballs to make them seem more round, or as I originally planned, have spirals in red on there..

When I'm not sure what to add, sometimes that means I'm done - at least for now.

To me, this drawing looks complete.

But what matters is whether it looks complete to you.

When I have that "what is next?", feeling, I sometimes have to step away from the piece for a week and return with fresh eyes.

When I return to it, it's about 50/50 whether I feel like the piece is just done, or whether I have a feeling that something is missing.

If I feel that something is missing, sometimes I know what it is right away, and sometimes I have to think about what is missing for about another week.

Either way, this is a great piece already!

I would love to see an update if you do decide to make one, too. I enjoy these glimpses into other artists process.

I was thinking of maybe making another version with spiral eyes

That does sound fun.

Try it out on the digital pic. But I agree that stepping back for a bit might help you decide.
