He's too dangerous to be left alive!

This is the last in the series, for now at least. Now I'm going to try to paint some of my family members, which I don't think I'll post. But I'll be here watching everyone else and replying to the stuff that I love most.

Thank you all for your help! Wednesday the 12th is my next live portrait session and I feel far more prepared than I was before. I'm sure not all of these skills will translate to a live model but it'll be much better than my last attempt.

Wow! I think this is your best one yet!

Thank you!!

I had to scrap his face multiple times and start from scratch. The angle and lighting were so hard. Still not quite right but I'm ready to move on.

This one is a very dynamic expression and pose with wild lighting, so certainly an ambitious one to take on!

[-] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Very much so. My youngest child made me do it, they're mean to me!

[-] SomGye@dormi.zone 2 points 5 months ago

Haha that's wholesome and hilarious. I hope that you enjoy your future paintings!

Art Share🎨

6190 readers
44 users here now

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.
