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.

Didn't realize it's digital art at first, looks a lot like pencil. What kind of brushes did you use? I've been trying to learn digital art but always have trouble with brushes.

I just used one of the default pencil brushes in Krita, I think they're fantastic. After doing the pencil outline I used one or two watercolour brushes.

For either purpose I just pick one, and if it's not doing what I want I ctrl+z and try another

I think the most important thing with any brush is getting control of how hard you're pressing down, you should have a light touch unless you want to blow out the brush and make it as dark as possible.

I practice with vertical and horizontal strokes with a relaxed wrist as a warm up

In some combination of default settings, sure. But if you consistently maxed out pen pressure on most brushes then you might want to try to adjust your pen settings. No idea how to do that on tablet style device though, I have only work on desktop.
