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.

At the end of the live model painting session the model came around and looked at everyone's rendition of the 40 minute pose. When she saw mine she squealed and gasped "Looks just like me!" Dude, I almost cried. I did tippy taps all the way home and woke my wife up to tell her I was so excited!

The title image is the 40 minute pose.

Note: This is a real person, please keep your comments kind and respectful.

That's pretty much how it is for me. When I started I was so far behind the other artists ability, now there are only two artists I feel are ahead of me. Oddly that makes me feel legitimate, like I belong.

To be fair, Craig, who owns the space has been completely welcoming and encouraging the whole time and so has every artist I've talked to there. It's my own insecurities.
