Just starting now, getting back in the drawing after surgery on both my old nerves and after many years of not doing anything with it and figured I just share.
The standard rules are to make the head and face larger particularly the eyes and mouth. How do you think this looks? Feedback?

I treated the line work a bit differently here. More like a photo realistic and less like a drawing. Thoughts or feedback?

A moment from a performance by the magnificent @chickpeapole@mastodon.social.
Didn't have time to finish it all before having to pack up. Am going to try to do something about the topmost color band when it's dry.
Broken lighthouse
I've always liked to admire the ruthlessness of the sea at night.

I'm trying to work on stylized drawings of people. I've not been happy with any past attempts. Let's see if I can get happy with this set of attempts. Any feedback?

My last in the series. Though I may revisit them. I made the most alterations from the original, as you can see below. What do you think?

If I would have looked at a reference it might be a little better but for now I go for memory. I used to own 18 cats so I saw them enough to know what they look like. This is an unfinished base mesh.
This is my drawing, but I got the idea from a comic. I don't know the name of the artist or comic... I just loved how he did the texture and shading and wanted to practice that style.
The reference was midday, I changed the time of day to dusk so it looked more like a great photograph and less like a postcard. And at least a few more hot air balloons left in me.

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.
