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.

Will you be drawing Jackson's Superbowl appearance?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes, I'm already working on it. This is about two hours of progress.

The confidence again is being put on display. Confident enough to try a beard and a background. I’m happy to see you kept the focus on Samuel and kept the background basic. The blending is getting much better and selecting blend-able colors for the skin is getting much better. Good sharp edges from face to beard edge. Keep going, this is great.

That's very kind, thank you!

Not having to do eyes helped me a ton. Those are so hard.

Got to keep the train rolling. Always point out the things done well so that they can focused on more. Overall there is steady progress so I can’t point directly to any one area that needs your direct focus. Eyes are always going to be hard, they have so many shapes, colors, textures, and reflections, that doing all of it, all the time is hard, try not to beat yourself up too much.

Appreciate that! Just recognizing weakness I need to work on. Mostly having one less hard thing to focus on really helped me get his nose right. I've been close but not quite there until now.

Been following these posts and damn this one came out so good! Love seeing your progress

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Thank you! It really did.

Now I'm not sure I can replicate the success the next time out lol. Oh well, enjoy the work before I start the next Sammy.
