The practice head, in the lying down position. That one was a brain teaser. I had to just look at it like mountains.

Some practice I did before I started oil portraits

I used to drive by this place every week going to my daughter's dance class at a girls boarding school in the area. It was so cool looking I had to pull over and take photos one day. The red and green is gorgeous in person. Will post my reference pic

I worked on it just at my Saturday class. So 3 hours a week, probably 6 weeks total

I did this recently from a photo I thought was cool. I found out afterwards it was from midjourney, my bad.

My brother just posted in the family group chat he's been diagnosed with ASD. What's the best, most sensitive, way to reply? in c/autism@lemmy.world

You're describing a gradient. That isn't what spectrum means. We all have a spectrum of symptoms - some kind of sensory processing issue, some kind of social interaction problems, some kind of repetitive motion issue, etc. Only when you have one issue in each category are you autistic.

I'm AuDhd myself - ADHD is comorbid with autism in a large percent of people. If you don't think it's a disability, you may still be in some denial about its effects on your life.

Oil painting. I added the other pics I meant to post original. I was out waiting for an event to start, and thought I had time to post them all before it started but didn't

Yeah, I take classes at a local art studio. They make most of their money from kids classes. But the guy who owns the studio is an amazing painter, in the style of the masters.

I wasn't fully successful but I tried to capture that citrus glow you see when light shines through it right. I'll post the photo too, I love how the photo of my setup came out and it's my phone backgrounds now

Moon glow (lemmy.zip)
 

A recent painting. I tried broken color around the moonlight, going for an ethereal feeling.

I finished this up today. Super fun project. I didn't start with a line drawing. I started with charcoal powder and a brush to get the massing in. Then I had to dump off all the powder and spend 15 minutes erasing, lol. Then moved to vine charcoal to start the shapes. And used charcoal pencils to finish up. The background is pastels - he just seemed too cheerful to stay all black and white. I was originally going to do a translucent blue but my gut said yellow and wow were these pastels vibrant.
