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’m about to go bust myself… just kidding, wish I had half your skill 😎
🤣🤣🤣
Thank you. And it just takes practice. About a year practicing real people, only cartoons before then. Just gotta start and keep going.
Not just practice. It takes the will to do it. I think that's where most people fail.
I'm about to say something nerdy and feel free to completely ignore it. Behaviors are most often the output of systems and structure. If we set up our systems and structure properly we can get most of the behaviors we want. Atomic Habits goes a long way to prove and talk through this.
I agree, but even that takes effort.
For myself, I force practice for the things I want to do daily: guitar, drawing, work skills, etc.
The act in and of itself lowers the price of admission in the sense that it becomes less tedious with repetition. Perhaps it's the same as what you're saying. I've never heard the term "Atomic Habits," but I'll look it up.
That said, it still takes willingness and dedication.
It does take willingness and dedication. And Atomic Habits is a book by James Clear. Considered by many to be the gold standard for getting ourselves to do stuff.
