It would be cool if there was a community dedicated to helping people get better at making visual art, e.g. art education, learning, advice requests, feedback, etc.

Is there anything like this already? I had a search around and couldn't see anything much. There is !arttutorials@lemmy.world, but it's fairly dead, and doesn't cover lots of the things above.

If there isn't already something like that, would people be keen for it?

I post daily how-tos and tutorials for different crafts on !Art_Alchemist_Guild@lemmy.today

It's for sharing art, tools, resources and supplies, too. This summer has a low key leatherworking challenge where I've been posting leather projects and instructions. I'm going to shift to painting and drawing for September/Inktober.

Cool! Subscribed. But I think that comm has a specific tone to it, so perhaps not as general as I'd want.

It's mostly me posting, so I'm open to suggestions if there's something you want to see more of.

You could just tag your post here asking for feedback. I've given feedback to people who've asked for it. People are usually very kind and constructive.

Seconding this option. While it's not necessarily the theme here, it's one of my most active hobbyist/interest communities. I posted here once and was given some pointers and how to improve the things I called out

Art Share🎨

7965 readers
303 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.
