Vladimir Aleksandrovich Serov was a champion of the USSR's "socialist realism" artists, being awarded several accolades for his hard work in ~~making workers look hot~~ depicting workers with delightful grace and overwhelming dignity, as well as portraying key historical moments of the USSR, such as the storming of the Winter Palace,
He was active for most of his life until his death at 58 years old and his many works became the prototypical example of soviet realism. But he was also skilled in creating stylized posters as well. Notably, during the siege of Leningrad he made several posters while inside the besieged city to boost the morale of the population against the invaders.
You can look at a collection of his works here: https://soviet-art.ru/soviet-artist-vladimir-alexandrovich-serov-1910-1968/
Vladimir Serov's art looks impressive at a glance, but that quality wasn't the result of simple fundamental skills, it's nothing other than the crystallization of his passion, his hope and his perseverance.
And that is (mostly) what this mega is all about!
◇ ◇ If you drew something that is still a Work In Progress (WIP), this is the place to share it. ◇ ◇
◇ ◇ If you have any art related thoughts or questions, this is the place for that discussion. ◇ ◇
This mega's purpose is to create a casual, low-pressure environment for artists and non-artists alike to engage in sharing their incomplete art, giving feedback to others and holding general art discussion. If you are an artist with original works that are complete, you are highly encouraged to make a standalone post for it.
And when I say incomplete, I do mean literally anything that you wouldn't consider a complete illustration or artwork, from basic anatomical sketches and messy perspective exercises to half-rendered paintings. All skill levels are welcome.
To encourage people to post their art in the comm, halfway through the mega I will post a comment and one of the replies will get their art featured in this section.

Untitled sand sculpture. Artist didnt have a name for it, and says this is different than what was planned originally.
my first 3d model using blender, please clap. i made it by following this tutorial that was posted here by a comrade not too long ago (and with the help of another comrade that explained things further for me).
i actually had a lot of fun making it and i'm interested in learning more! does anyone know of any other good beginner tutorials that i could try?
Sometimes you just draw a little blobby creature and give them some friends who are also blobby creatures
