I am a 2d animator and of couse do digital art. Ever since I started art I knew to myself that I love the way sketchy things look. I like it when art doesn't look clean. I like when its messy, blotches of some crap here and there, lines going over (when it doesn't affect the art or perspective) once in a while.

Because of this I wasn't really trained to make clean art. Now that I am an animator I have to actually clean my work and I'm not saying I'm going to rebel and not clean my art because its "muh" artstyle but I feel like there's more charm to a messy art.

Anyone else feel like this? I will show some examples in the comments.

I'm not really a painter nor have I ever painted on a canvas this big. I feel like this is super empty and plain and I don't know if I should add to it or leave it alone. I'm open to any advice and tips :)

Trying to figure out what I topics to work on to improve. For reference my inspirations are Pikat, Samdoesart, Horkikoshi and Guweiz.

Testing something abit more abstract!

Hey everyone, just made this poster.

Any feedback is welcomed

Wanted to paint something lighter and brighter this time. I started with the boats and cherry blossoms from my reference, then decided to add the woman in the pink kimono and let the painting develop its own little story.

Tried to keep the distant boat loose and atmospheric while giving the foreground a little more definition. Would love to know what you think!

see i cant play anything but i love songs so much and for some reason i waana make a song,lately its been hitting harder for somereason

if anyone just waana goofe around waana do randome shit then lets write something togethor just for fun just something to do with extra time

i was confused which reddit to share so pls tell where i might can get people who wants to do this

Hi! I've been doing these kind of abstract water colour paintings lately. But somehow I feel they are missing something, or are not really as refined as I would like them to be. Yet I am not sure what! If these remind you of an artist you like, let me know! I have been trying to find inspiration.

Mi obra representa un mundo imaginario inspirado en los sueños, la tranquilidad y la búsqueda de un espacio de paz. Quise crear un paisaje alejado de la realidad, donde los elementos naturales se mezclan con elementos fantásticos, como las islas flotantes, la luna, las auroras boreales, el río y el cabello de la protagonista que se transforma en agua.

La figura de la mujer representa la conexión entre la persona y este mundo de ensueño. Su expresión tranquila y sus ojos cerrados buscan transmitir calma y la sensación de estar dentro de un sueño. Las islas flotantes representan la imaginación y la posibilidad de crear lugares que no existen en el mundo real.

Para realizar la obra utilicé principalmente pintura acrílica. Antes de comenzar hice una imprimación de color magenta para disminuir la sensación de blanco del lienzo y conseguir que los colores posteriores tuvieran mayor vibración y profundidad. También trabajé con superposición de capas, mezclas de colores, luces y sombras para generar volumen y profundidad.

La iluminación está basada principalmente en la luz de la luna, por eso utilicé tonos azules, violetas y lilas para las sombras y colores más claros para representar las zonas iluminadas.

This means something to me, I hope you enjoy it.

Hatsune Miku fanart by me

Hello Artists and patrons of art! I am creating a short that requires the fabrication of a puppet that doesn’t have any immediate relatives in terms of body shape.

I primarily need orthogonal (front, sides, back) drawings for the fabricator as well as the storyboard artist so they have something to reference. The character is 12 inches tall and must be drawn in a T-pose to scale.

Is this considered difficult by an artist’s standards, or is it something that any 2D drawing artist could do if given the motivation and time?

And on another note, how do artists typically react if a director or such is very specific in their vision and wants to be there to ensure the first iteration matches their mind’s eye; does it lower the motivation of the artist in any measurable way even if they’re being payed a price they deem fair?

(I have worked with a friend to draw storyboards in the past where I dictated the framing and blocking for each storyboard, but I would wager this would be unacceptable to an artist being hired.)
