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.
Twelve paintings in and I still hear his voice in my head. OHHH, you believe in Samuel L. Jackson now, huh, bitch? GOOD, 'CAUSE YOU 'BOUT TO MEET HIM!
I particularly enjoy the scarf. That was my favorite part to paint.

Looking at how good you're painting, I have to correct that title:
May I draw Samuel L. Jackson?

Day 50 comes along and it's a picture at a weird angle nobody can find on the internet of him getting milk out of his fridge in the middle of the night
your art is so good, mad impressive
I'm humbled, thank you! It's fun learning a new skill at a relatively old age. Old enough to be a grandpa anyway.
It's pretty weird when someone receives a compliment and becomes humble. You deserve to be proud instead, this art is great.

The scarf is beautiful, but somethingβs messed up on his right cheek.
I reworked that cheek multiple times, I finally gave up and called this good enough.
To be fair, the photo reference is also a bit weird. Something about the lighting and how his skin got squished by the scarf, I guess. Keep it up, your Samuels are getting better at every iteration.
Thank you! I almost didn't go with this image because of the lighting. It's clearly movie lighting and not natural lighting which is hard to comprehend and paint. But I thought it would be a challenge and that's what made the decision for me.
They're looking better and better every day! I LOVE the scarf.
One thing I noticed is that the shading on his right (on the left side of the painting) cheek is not soft enough. It should be more of a gradient instead of a dark line, I think.
You're absolutely right, thank you!
You're welcome!
The scarf is definitely dope! Iβve enjoyed your progress when I catch your posts!
Thank you!
Okay I'm just going to say it: I think you can paint Samuel L. Jackson.
Thank you! And yeah I can. I still can't quite get his expressions right though. This one is closer than the others but still not quite right.
