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.
Hang onto your butts! Because I think I still can. The expression isn't quite right yet. It's amazing how the tiniest little bits completely change an entire expression. He looks more worried and less annoyed than he should. But it's totally Samuel L. Jackson!!!
I use Sketchbook by Autodesk on my phone mostly, every Sammy has been on my phone. I also have it on a tablet connected to a PC but I rarely drag all of that out to paint. If I could figure out a way to sync my work between them I'd probably use the PC more.
The brushes I use are oil painting brushes. I start sketching with a pencil brush, then block out colors with a simple round brush, then I use oil brushes the rest of the way.
Edit: I also add a small bit of randomness to the colors which I think is the best trick to keep it from looking flat and boring.
That's awesome. Thanks for the detailed answer. Amazing that it's on such a small device. I've got a Samsung tablet with a pen. I might have to play more with it. Keep em coming! Am loving your work. I see dip pens, and all sorts in your post history. Loving it all.
Thank you, so kind!
