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.

I was feeling brave and decided to copy from a reference today. Tracing had me worried that I wouldn't have the chops to make something good, but I'm satisfied. I was watching Knights of Guinevere and this frame really caught my attention.

Andrea from M-7

I had a more involved post last time, but this time I am working with pencil and paper, so here's the final result again:

Sketch

I thought it looked pretty good, but I wanted to see where I could improve. I dropped this into Krita and started checking the differences:

Not helpful overlay

Obviously, this isn't useful, so I went and drew lines to see the difference between the reference and sketch:

Comparison

I noted that the original is wider, but I really caught the left edge of the face pretty well so I'm proud of that. The hair is much thinner/closer to the right half. Despite this, I think I got what was aiming for.

P.S., would definitely recommend (it's free):

I think it captures the expression well, and the style still feels close to the original. =)
