Art Share🎨

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.

The black ink the eyes: Is this your fingerprint?

All in all it looks like a foto negative. Nice work!

Thanks! In the eyes you see the pure texture of the charcoal, without any blending / smudging.

That's interesting. I don't know much yet about working with charcoal properly to achieve some reasonable outcomes. Everytime I tried it out...you know...some basic shapes like spheres or cubes to play around with charcoal...smudging here and there...it doesn't come out so well. Hmm, but I think everyone began somehow like that, isn't it...πŸ˜‰.

Oh I still have to scrap a lot of paper until I get something right! And even then I have to pivot and go with happy accidents more often than not :)

So you didn't accidentally post your fingerprint so we could use it for nefarious purposes? Dang it!
