This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨

Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Trying to get back to creative work instead of just replication. This is my first attempt with my new skills, it's not bad but there are things I'm very much not happy with like her left hand for example. But I'm done struggling with it and ready to move on.

Thank you!!

I use Sketchbook by Autodesk. Not the most robust piece of software, it doesn't compare to GiMP or Photoshop in features which is why I like it so much. Those tools have so much I get lost and my workflow is just so frustrating while I try to find things. This gets the job done super easily. Maybe one day when I am at the edge of what this app can do I'll move to GiMP but right now it has more than I can use.

I've heard that Krita is an amazing drawing software.

What are your experiences with it?

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Krita looks really cool, hadn't heard of it until right now. The UI looks intense for my phone but maybe on my tablet. Might be a good in-between before GiMP on a PC.

Thank you for introducing me to it.

I've been working a lot with Rebelle 7 personally and I like it for that reason. It's an art tool dedicated to recreating the physical/traditional art world and so it's much more streamlined in the amount of stuff it offers.

I can find everything super easily and I've never gotten lost while using it. It's epic.

(Also it has fantastic traditional art emulation stuff which is cool but more importantly the other stuff for this discussion)

Doesn't look like that is on Android. Unless I missing something.....

Ah rip sorry. I missed that requirement. I have one of those laptops that fold back on themselves and turn into a tablet and I use it on that.

I almost got one but went with Android instead. I already have a Windows laptop and getting a second one seemed duplicative.

If I get to the end of this machine maybe I'll upgrade that too.

And I don't think I said I use Android here. I started doing this all on my phone that has a pen and slowly upgraded.
