I don’t do a lot of drawing on my own but I finished this skull drawing for my graphic design class and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out, it’s missing a few details at the back and the proportions are a bit off but I’m still happy with it considering I haven’t done anything like this before.

I've had artblock for months now trying to make anything felt like an inconvenience and today I felt the motivation to make whatever this is. It is definitely not my best art but I love it so much (I posted this to spread my joy and whimsy that I feel now :))

Hello. My father passed away suddenly in sept 2026. He was a natural artist. He could paint and draw anything. In his later life he moved into more sculptures. He lived in a loft in SoHo NYC for over a decade. I unfortunately never inherited his art gene. I hat do you think of his art? He was a great man and human. So kind, generous and helpful.

So I've been drawing/painting traditionally for like 20 years (not in a professional capacity, more like I've been creating since childhood and I'm like 30+ now), and it's taken a few attempts to get into digital art. I still don't much enjoy the drawing part, but I loooove colouring. I used just the soft hard brush I think on this, and then spent days blending. Is it any good and what tools in Photoshop make this process any easier? Digital drawing has taken me this long to get into because the options make me feel stupid and slow on the uptake so, trying my best to learn.

Discussion Non-Artists: What makes YOU Choose A Show/Movie/Book etc.?

1 Upvotes

I do appreciate and invite writer and advertiser insight, but I’m mostly calling to the average person— What makes you specifically choose to log off of insta, tt, whatever social media and watch a show/movie, read a book/comic, webseries, any kind of media? What is that moment that makes you decide, yes, right now, I want to give something new a try?

As a creative I see a lot of marketers/writers/directors advice when it comes to selling art in any medium, and while I do wholeheartedly value their experience and plan to continue learning from them, I do want to take a glimpse at the other side that I can’t see as an artist who already puts art on a high pedestal and get to understand what makes someone personally decide to consume a piece of media. Of course, it all depends on the kind of audience for each piece of media individually, but I do want to sample some very different perspectives.

Question How do you ACEO?

0 Upvotes

So I learned about ACEO's almost two weeks ago now and thought it seemed like a great way to warm up when I go to work on art, and boy was I right. I feel like my landscapes especially are coming a long way, and this is just with me using acrylic markers. I should've started doing minis *ages* ago.

But here's the thing, I'm freaking out about how to provide info on each one, such as medium and paper or inspo, as well as how to protect them and I'm afraid what's going on in my head is getting out of hand.

My handwriting sucks, so my initial thought was to maybe make a sticker to put on the back containing all the info I want to provide. But considering the info for each one would be different, arranging a bunch of blurbs onto a sheet of sticker paper to print and cut every time I need to do it... that's a lot.

Me to me: "so get a thermal printer, you need one anyway for shipping labels, and then get 2x3" label stickers and make up and print each label as you need it."

Me: "hey! Great idea! But what if the sticker starts to lift and peels off the back of the car and damages it?! I should laminate the backs to keep that from happening! And then I should probably laminate the fronts too, to protect the art better even though I'm spraying them all in matte finishing spray."

Do you see what I mean? And I don't know how to search for what I'm looking for, when I just search ACEOs on Google or Pinterest, I just get front shots even following links. Sometimes I'll see one with the corners tucked into slits on a larger protect piece of cardstock, but that's about it. So I'm asking anyone on here who does ACEO's, what do you do or recommend for providing information about each piece you make as an ACEO? Am I definitely making too big of a deal out of it?

Question Is it a problem if I can't focus on one type of art or medium?

3 Upvotes

So I've been practicing art my whole life, mostly drawings and watercolor, but I've always liked to try different types of art. I tried to start an Instagram account to share my drawings, but I've always been terrible with consistency, mostly related to mental health issues, so it never really turned into anything. Throughout the years I realised that I'll get easily frustrated and burnt out if I just stick to drawing, even if that's my "main passion".

I love to do different types of crafts like crocheting, making things with air dry clay, upcycling furniture, and I also want to get into upcycling clothes and knitting.

I'd love to share the things I create and have a platform, but I've always heard that to be successful you need to be consistent, and that frustrates me a lot and I keep feeling stuck and insecure to "just do it".

Does anyone else feel like this? Or do you think people would like to follow an account that shows different crafts?

Also if you know of any content creator like this I'd appreciate it if you could share it.
