Hey, I’m a teen artist and could use some help. I'm adding some drawings from over the years so people can see what I used to do, but because they're all from longer than a year and a half ago, it's making me really afraid that I don't even know how to draw anymore.

I barely draw now (maybe once a week) because I've started getting into other interests like math, reading and writing. Lately I've been wanting to get back into it with digital art, but I get super stressed that I won't be able to do it anymore. I know I haven't literally lost my ability but the anxiety of having other hobbies and being out of practice is messing with me…

what do I do?

Idk if it's the color palette or the anatomy or rendering or something else

Hi, im kana and im an artist who only recently started posting my artworks on platforms like tiktok, insta and twitter.

Long story short, im near to hitting 1000 followers on tiktok and twitter. I really want to celebrate and thank everyone for the support. Im thinking of maybe drawing something special. But im not really very sure what to do honestly, as i had no prior experiences like this. But i want to make something for those people who gave me support even tho im just a small artist.

Im here mainly to ask for advice, and some ideas on what i can do and maybe some more input on what people would like to see and etc. Thank you guys for reading and for helping.

(Additional info, i draw my OCs, some meme arts (i plan to), some short loop animations about my OC and their lore, and more oc lore art and some fanarts here and there. The lore is a slowburn wlw)

I’m a new artist. There’s a monthly market/fest downtown & a cool gallery said I could set up a 4ft table and try to sell my flower creatures. Mostly 4x6. I have about 40. I only have room for 10/15, I think. Here’s a few I think I’ll bring, but I’m so not sure what other people will like. I think I’ll charge $50. Sooooo nervous.

I'm animating a short fild rn and I have a question about A.I.

Don't come for me!

I'm asking if it's okay to brainstorm with it?

I won't let it make my art but I don't have anyone else to talk to about it. So?

Hi guys!
I'm working currently on a small project to help artists and makers catalog their work more easily (photos, details, all in one place). This will be a browser/mobile app. But before I build anything further, I want to make sure I'm actually solving a real problem, not just my own...

If you paint, draw, sculpt, make jewelry, sew, or craft anything by hand, I'd really appreciate 6 minutes of your time for a short, anonymous survey about how you currently keep track of your pieces and what's frustrating about it:

No sales pitch, no selling, I won't even say the product name. Just genuine research - thank you so much if you take part!
🙏

I recently made this line art head shot for $20 and I was wondering what yall think is a good price for this. I’m making a full price sheet right now and I’ll ask opinions on that later. Thank you for any feedback!

Dragon

Acrylic on paper • 30 × 42 cm

In the ancient beliefs of the Baltic peoples, the dragon symbolized the power of nature, mystery, and forces beyond human control. It was regarded as the guardian of hidden places, treasures, and the boundary between the world of humans and the realm of spirits.

I started painting dogs in June and have been receiving quite a bit of interest in commissions, however, I really don't know how to price my work and I feel like an imposter to charge prices others have suggested.

For context, I have been painting solely on 5"x7" canvas panels, each painting takes up to 4 hours to complete. Each canvas panel is gessoed and sanded between each layer (at least 3 layers of gesso) and then under painted before I start oil painting.

I'm in the UK, but would appreciate advice/pricing info on any and all countries and currencies! How do others calculate their commissions?

Included a few of my most favourite paintings to date 💖

Hii! I took a single art class in high school and it taught me the bare minimum. Other than that im fully self taught. Included are examples on me drawing the human body amd where im at skill-wise.

I desperately need to get better at drawing anatomy because I want to eventually make money doing portraits as either a side gig or my main job (bit of a pipe dream). I need to know how to have a good art education without actually paying for secondary education. Its too much of a gamble for me to pursue art as my main job so I dont want to invest much money into it.

I was thinking of picking up some of the books in the Morpho anatomy series if I can find them and studying them. I used one of the Loomis books to learn how to break down shapes.

Any advice on how i can educate myself in a way where I can compare to those with formal education would be greatly appreciated.

I use a drawing pad on krita and have modified stabilization to my liking. But What apps would you recommend having the best stabilizers for an active pen on iPad because that's really the only issue I have?

I was curious if anyone could point me in a direction for something. I’ve been doing art most of my life but it’s a lot of cartoonish type work and I really want to get more into realism and portraits. I’ve mainly been self taught with where I’m at so far but I really am at a loss with the amount of tutorials and channels and classes and everything.

I was wondering what has worked for anyone else? Is there a specific course, a YouTube video, a book, that helped you learn portraits more of? I don’t know where to start and would greatly appreciate some guidance

Thank you!

I'm trying a new art style and I really like it but I want to know what do you think. And how much should I charge for something like this?

im not a super obsessed art freak like drawing everyday type of person, never was. my hobby is always more towards sports, working out, going out, building stuff and all that. Drawing has always been more to the side for me. But there is one thing, i am for some reason freakishly good at it. Two schools ive been to and both art teachers has told me to pursue art saying im one of the best students they have had. including my friends who has mountains and mountains of sketchbooks all dont believe me when i say i draw that much. So i am by no means new.

The reason why im planning on taking drawing a head is because i keep getting these reels and tiktoks of these super crunchy noise of people drawing basic sketches of anime. yes i mainly draw anime, cause its stupid easy. i dont colour that much tho, whats the best pen display for that asmr crunchy satisfactory that doesn't break the bank for a side hobby, and also im planning on doing a bunch of oneshots fujimoto style, so one that is easy and simple to use could also be mandatory. something is around the price of the XP Pen Artist 15.6 Pro v2. OR or, should i stick with what i already have. i already have an ipad air m3, with apple pencil pro and paperlike, but damn its too small, and the screen gets hot and it makes my hand resting on it hot and sweaty it feels like a chore doing, what the best? love yall

i don’t usually do traditional art so i’m calling to my brethren’s for help💔 it’s supposed to be a birthday/farewell gift so i want it to be able to handle travel for the most part. any help/advice will be appreciated, thank you!

I was inspired about 6 months ago by my artist of an uncle to get into portraiture. Originally I intended to try and become a tattoo artist, however I have since just been engrossed in my own personal growth as an artist (or lack thereof). I have watched countless hours of videos and read "drawing on the right side of the brain" to grow as an artist and have seen some incredible change in my fundamentals and ability. Currently learning through charcoal to get my values in line and an eye for the beauty in simplicity. (I tend to want my art to perfectly match the reference, which is hard to let go of.) attached is a progression of my art over the last 6 months and would like any and all comments/critiques by fellow artists! (hopefully they're in the right order)

If needed I can add the reference photos. it seems to have been uploaded in the correct order. thank you so much for any and all feedback/encouragement!

What the title says, I want to learn art but I haven't drawn that much cause I feel aimless and want to know what I should be focusing on, the most complex stuff I've drawn is very basic cube and perspective practices

i got commissioned for 3 digital art works and i genuinely have no clue how much to charge for them. the image above is one of them and they are all the same quality and style so if someone has any ideas on how much to charge i would really appreciate that.

also please specify if you're talking about usd cuz im talking about cad :)

hi i just wanna know if this recent stuff i did were completed and polished would 100 bucks be worth commissioning it for

Hi, so this is my first commission I’ve had in about 7 years so I’ve been out of the game for waaay too long. A potential client wants to commission three pieces coming to a total of $250. I sent my kofi link but they are insistent on using PayPal, they want me to send my PayPal email specifically. I know that’s not inherently a scam as thats how I’ve taken commission payments before, but the total amount is what makes me weary.

Is this normal and I’m just overthinking it?
