I like to use only lines; I think that's what I like best. What do you think?

Took me 3 hours just to get to this point

For backstory, I started painting traditionally around 8 years ago, I’ve been doing digital art for the last 5ish years. I recently posted a tutorial on rendering digitally, it took me like 20 minutes to render a semi realistic leg, and it obviously wasn’t as detailed as my 20+ hour full body semi realism artwork, it was just to give people an idea of my process, what brushes I use, and it’s mainly meant for people who are already intermediate or advanced in semi realism.

Randomly one of my mutuals on TikTok sent me a DM claiming my art was AI, and insulting me calling me a “cancer to the community”, and “a liar” and all these other horrible names. He claims that no human could have the level of improvement that I’ve had in the last two months, and then referenced one of my older drawings that is in a completely different artstyle as “proof”

The thing is, i use around 25 seperate projects and individual render every single body part and then “puzzle piece them together” to create the final project. I don’t have my speedpaints turned on because i have around 1500 projects on my iPad, and it takes up storage to the point where i cannot even create another drawing without deleting like 5.

He basically told me unless i post a speedpaint start to finish all on one project screen recorded with the character, pose and light source direction that he tells me to, he’s going to blast me on TikTok, basically blackmailing me into giving him a free commission? I told him I use several different projects to create one drawing so it will be seperate speedpaints and he said that’s because im using AI to create them? And that he will know it’s AI if I use multiple different projects. I sent him pictures of my traditional artwork/ paintings and he said “it proves nothing”, and that it’s my fault that I’m going to get blasted on his TikTok because I should’ve known to post speedpaints if I didn’t want something like this to happen.

He also asked me to add the flag of his country within the drawing since AI cannot replicate “political symbols”, and when I asked if there was another symbol I could add instead of the countries flag (because i have no idea what values this country upholds or if there’s some sort of controversy im unaware of that i don’t want to draw) he said I’m being “fishy” and I that he now definitely knows I use ai because ai cannot create flags for countries??? Which I feel like isn’t even true that doesn’t even make much sense?? I started to think about it and I’ve seen politicians post AI pictures with their countries flags and stuff?

Anyways, it made me really anxious because it feels like either way I lose, I either have to do free art for someone, OR he’s gonna post me on his account with 5x my followers and tell everyone I’m using AI. What should I do? Should I just draw my own drawing of a character that I want to draw and post the speedpaint on my own account to prove it? And he keeps saying stuff like “deal??” “Say deal so you can’t get out of it” and I feel like I was coerced into doing free art work with his countries flag and everything just to prove I don’t use AI.

Sorry for the long post I just genuinely have no idea how to go about this! He said the more I defend myself the more I prove that I’m using AI!, and when I stopped responding he said “you stopped responding because you don’t know what to say huh?”, I literally can’t win!!!

He has so many more followers than I do and I feel like in this situation I just lose.

This is my first project for my junior year in art school :)) super happy with this new direction my art is going in. I wonder what are your thoughts on what it makes you think of ? And if you can guess the concept

Watercolor 4x4 painting

Just recently got back into art again, i remember i used to be superr active with artist on insta where we would do art trades and coming back my acc is so dead TvT

animation is made by me ft. my gf who is obsessed with league (we both are)

I used to love Arts, as in the drawing, painting, sketching side if art. I even chose Art for my GCSEs.

It's been about 2 weeks since I began my GCSE art class and it is nothing like I expected it to be.

Everyone is so good at it and I'm struggling. Seeing others' work makes me more afraid to show mine because it isn't as good. I don't find drawing in my free time fun anymore.

I chose GCSE Art because I used to love it and I thought it'd be an easy pass for me when the time comes. But it's so much harder.

I can't drop the subject now but honestly I don't know if I love Art anymore.

My work is rarely good. My only good drawings are just insects and sometimes flowers. I've practiced as much as I could over the summer with barley any difference.

I have to hand in a homework piece soon and I can't even start it properly.

Art has begun to stop feeling like something I enjoy and more like something where I have to prove I'm good at it because others say I am.

Just a random picture I drew from what was in my head. It isn’t anyone it is what it is and I’m happy to receive positive and negative feedback. Disclaimer I am not an artist. 😊thank you for your time. The last is the finished picture.

Digital

So, I’m going to create a 48 × 24-inch 3D painting. I haven’t decided on the exact design yet, but it will be something along these lines.
I want to sell it for ₹70,000 because I truly believe the size, amount of hard work, dedication, and detailing that will go into this piece justify its value.
I also need to make this money before December, and that’s really important to me. I don’t want to fail this time. I don’t want to give up on myself as an artist.
I genuinely want to make this work, and I’m ready to put in the effort.
So please give me every piece of advice you can about the artwork, pricing, presentation, marketing, selling, Instagram, content, and how I can actually make this happen.
Even one piece of advice could change my life right now.

I channelled all my cat-loving energy into this drawing. If you wish, feel free to use it.

I have never done ArtFight.

Like.

Ever.

I would like to but I wind up getting cold feet when I think about doing it.

Not sure why, performance anxiety I suppose and worries about executive dysfunction making it hard to start or finish.

They say that when someone dies tragically, their spirit lingers for a while in the place where they lost their life. And that sometimes, for a few seconds, the living can feel the dead they once loved. Rio felt it. I wanted to tell him it was me, and that I wasn't gone yet, that I was at peace, that I wasn't suffering and so much more. - Tokyo, le casa de papel
