This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed π¨
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.
I haven't done any art in 15 years, and that was just watercolors. I've been having a shit week today and saw some pastels and sketchpads for sale at the post office, so I got them. I've never worked with pastels before, but I really like them so far, they seem fairly forgiving.
This is my second drawing ever with them, and I'm really happy with how it came out. I want to practice more, but I think the picture tells the story I wanted to tell.
Well, that's a hell of a good return to creating.
Simple, expressive, emotive. I think you very much succeeded in telling the story.
If it's a self-portrait and the shit of last week has lasting implications, I hope you get through it soon because it looks like it hurts deeply
Thanks bud, I appreciate it.
(I appreciate your username too, if you were going for a play on Zero Cool)

Seriously though, looking at this starts to give me the buzzing head feeling when an argument extends past bed time. When you know your logic is fading but there's so much more to say
Looks great!
Made me think of Emerson, Lake & Plamer - Trilogy, although yours feels much darker.
Thanks!
The hand looks like a heart to me.
I love this one
