You are so talented. You do lighting and texture very well. How did you get started with art?
Art Shareπ¨
This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed π¨

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.
Thank you! And I've been drawing as long as I can remember. My earliest memory of drawing was preschool drawing monster trucks.
Though I've only been trying to get good at the craft since we've become empty nesters the last few years. Before then it was just cartoons and doodles.
Your best yet.
Woohoo!!
That's awesome. You can almost feel the warmth.
Yay! That's what I was going for.
I misread this as "evening run" and it still made sense, like she just got done jogging to the perfect place to see the sunset (or sunrise?).
Edit: your facial planes are out of this world. I can "feel" the structure of her face. That's amazingly good portraiture right there. Keep being awesome! I hope I can make characters feel so alive one day.
Thank you! Getting volumes right is something I find quite satisfying. Noses in particular. I find them challenging and necessary to pull the face together.
And you'll get there, it just takes practice and effort.
Amazing colors and lighting, so vivid!
Thank you! I got feedback a few times saying these look like a photo not real life. The reference is a photo so I'm trying to alter the colors and lighting to make it feel like real life instead of a photograph.
Woow, fantastic! This is great!
Thank you!!
Amazing work!
Thank you!
