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.

My favorite vending machine (lemmy.world)

I'm new to art, I started painting and illustrating a couple months ago. To practice I paint the dingiest scenes from the current video game I'm playing: Yakuza Kiwami. I've been painting along to those real time YouTube videos of people doing loose illustrations and watercolors. If anyone has recommendations for learning more about illustrations, watercolor or any other artsy thing please let me know.

Also... If you can read Japanese please just don't. I have old highschool knowledge of the language from 15 years ago, my hiragana is probably mostly recognizable but my Kanji is literally me copying the character to the best of my ability but I don't know what any of them mean. I think I wrote the alphabet around the vending machine...

Looks really nice! You've got a good balance between loose but clean. Don't be afraid to tilt those box tops away from the viewer-- Play around with pushing the perspective harder to help the boxes look more settled and natural. IMO they look a little floaty.

If that's a skill that you haven't practiced, try looking up some videos/guides for drawing in perspective, and just practice setting a horizon line and orienting boxes to it. You'll feel your scenes become more grounded and cohesive.

Great job though, it's overall pleasing to look at and a cool style.

I definitely have not practiced anything with perspective, which I was really feeling with the boxes! Thanks for the constructive feedback, I hope to have some hefty looking trash for your viewing pleasure in the future 😀
