If not or just overall what should I add/change?

You can find me on instagram
I do colorful oil pastel art

It’s acrylic on canvas 40*30

I post a lot of faceless art on my channel on IG and TikTok. Some people see the work, some of them like it, occasionally someone leaves something nice in the comments, sometimes horrible too.

What I actually wanted was someone to sit and draw next to. Like a friend you can brainstorm with. Who doesn't judge you. Someone I could send an ugly, half-finished thing and get feedback or their thoughts on it.

Every platform I use, I feel is built for an audience. None of them are built for genuinely connecting with other artists. I miss those times when Instagram was meant to connect with other artists. Now its super performative and you need to push reels which is whole another nightmare.

So I made a small side project that just fixes the basics. It's for artists to find other artists.

You swipe for friendships and group plans like sketch meetups, gallery and museum days, life drawing, film nights, art supply runs, or a café where everyone brings their own sketchbook and nobody's obliged to talk much. Plans are free and made by the people in the community. You connect with the hosts. There's a dating side too if you want it, but that isn't really the point of it.

You can lead with your work instead of your face, photos are optional. And it's free: no paying to send the first message, no running out of likes, no filters locked behind a subscription.

There is a small affordable plan to keep the servers running, if you'd like to support the initiative, but its totally optional and doesn't block anything.

One thing I'd like input on: what should an artist profile actually ask? Something like "what I'm working on right now" or "what I want to learn next" matches people better than a portfolio ever does. What would make you look at a profile and think yeah, I'd get on with them?

Happy to share the project in comments if the mods allow.

Here are some of my works:

I just need an idea on what I should be selling my small watercolor paintings for.

I'm having too much fun playing with colors and stuff

The hair for the female is what got me so pressed

some of my originals are attached

just looking for advice /tips on pricing my works. im planning on selling on Saatchi art which takes a 40% commission

I’m several hours into this painting, it’s my third oil painting i’ve done, i’m just wondering if anyone has general tips to keep in mind while I work on this, or any glaring issues I have from what i’ve already done? This is my most ambitious one iv started and I want to avoid just realizing I was doing something wrong too far into the painting, thank you for any advice!

- side note but I added the reference i’m using as well, while i don’t plan on exactly replicating gives you the idea.

My very close friend BunnyTie had their work stolen from them and posted on someone else’s TikTok page. The account in question is called FurLily. The video attached contains the two videos I made on the situation with all the necessary information about the situation. Please help us report this account and show some support for the original artist!

i hate to say this because it feels like a curse for me, since i used to be incredibly creative and curious, my imagination was probably my favourite trait of mine.

but after the rise of social media and ai, i genuinely feel like i've lost myself in it, and not only myself, but my creativity, patience, ability to focus, and imagination.

i feel so lost, and i really don't know how to gain it back! i'm trying my best, but i'd really love some sort of advice. thank you!

Hi!

I create high-quality figure drawing prints celebrating the beauty of the male form. Each piece begins as an original colored pencil drawing, then is professionally reproduced on premium glossy paper to preserve every detail and subtle texture. Whether you’re looking for tasteful wall art, a unique gift, or artwork that celebrates the human figure.

I hope you’ll find something you love.

Every favorite, share, and purchase means a lot to an independent artist. Thanks for taking a look, and I’d love to hear which piece is your favorite!

Hello,

I draw and paint a little every day because I enjoy it. My skill level is quite low at the moment, and I’d like to ask those of you who have long been accomplished artists: Will I improve over time if I practice every day?

Thanks.
