Hello! I'm Lillen, a 2D digital artist / illustrator / learning concept art. My specialty is character art (humanoids). I'm self-educated and looking for support while I work on my portfolio.

WIP Sketch re-working one of my old portrait studies from 2020.



I used to post here a few years ago, but I went inactive, and my acct was guested. Hope it's okay to return and start fresh. Really looking forward to seeing all of your sketchbooks.

yo, my ysername is malachimizer but you can just call me MALACHI!! i got into art liek 3 years ago and i think i want to start taking it seriously now!! i dont draw a lot so i dont have anything to show, but i hope yall will do me well!!

Hiya! My online handle is Herzig but you can call me herz . Ive been drawing since highschool but only felt like taking it seriously as a hobby now that im a typical working adult. Btw english is not my 1st language so advance sorry for my grammar etc!


I dont really have any goals to be a professional or to make money out of art so ive been rather lax in learning. However i dont know what sparked it but id like to learn and improve on my work starting this year just to have goals to work towards haha.

As mentioned i never really went and learned the fundamentals properly so im pretty sure i should start there to begin with but if i have to mention a focus/goal, i guess it would be compositions and background for now! Tho i did get some critique online that my colors are muddy and the lights are wonky so theres that too hnn

Il post a sketchbook thread afterwork but for now il just attach some stuff i did this year

Hello,
Signed on a couple days ago and thought I introduce myself. I have been drawing on and off my whole life, it is something that gives me peace and a way to escape. I just stared getting more serious about art a year ago and want to start learning even more.  I like illustrative drawing  and cartoon characters. Was told on another platform that this was a good art forum so here I am. I work with pencils, markers, and water soluble wax pastels. I want to start learning how to paint and work with Gouache. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.  Hope to talk to some of you soon. 

Hi all,

You can call me 3upmoon, or just moon for short.
I am currently studying game development and recently decided that I would like to become a real-time VFX artist. However, I would also like to develop a skilset as a generalist artist. Grounding my skills in the fundamentals of visual art seems important, and CD looks like an awesome place to keep up and improve. This forum looks really cool, and I am looking forward to getting involved.

I have a little experience and with illustration, but nothing I would consider serious. I'm hoping to get a little sketchbook of studies going over the next couple of days, and I will post that here. It will be a lot of fun to record my progress!

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I look forward to getting to share some awesome art with you all!

Hello everyone, nice to meet you. You can call me FallowGround or FG, since it's a mouthful. 

I'm a concept artist mostly working in games, but have done some work in comics and animation as well. I wasn't really aware of OG concept art forums (and too young to properly utilise at the time too, probably), but dabbled in ancient forum based petsites back in the day when I was a wee lass. I feel like I've had a tough time keeping up with discord groups and have been really craving an old-school online community. The sorta place you catch up with over tea in the morning, write an essay length reply on and where you can track progress in a 6-year old thread and all that, haha.

I have a lot of life and art-related goals for 2024 so I hope having a place to share and get feedback on will help. Most of my art goals this year are fundies related. I started drawing and doing commissions really young, without really actually /learning/ how to draw properly so I'm working on fixing those good ol' gaps now. I'm planning to tackle construction and human anatomy first. I draw full-time for work so I'm desperately trying to find a way to sneak in consistent practice in my schedule. (If anyone has figured this out I'd love to hear how you do it!) 

I'll do my best to not disappear after this post, and hopefully post instead of going into permanent lurk mode. I'm a bit nervous but also excited about meeting a new community and going back into study mode. I'll post some old stuff since everything recent I've got is under NDA and I haven't done any studies in an embarrassingly long time :') (Doing my best to change that though!)


           


Take care and thanks for having me! Looking forward to browsing through everyone's sketchbooks. Let's work hard and set solid goals for 2024.

Hello yall, I'm Eidothea. I'm an architectual student major in Urban planning but i also do digital and traditional illustration. I live in Vietnam and i might be a bit chronically online. 
I always have a knack for art ever since i'm able to walk but i never had a community to show my art and talk to. So i decided to join in this quiet space of the internet and meet up with like-minded peeps and have fun.
Hopefully i'm able to post art somewhat weekly and grew out this brand new digital sketchbook here.

Hello, it is nice meeting you all. I am seeking an art buddy because I am currently in the UK for studies and come from Canada. I don't have anyone else with whom to share critiques and advice. There's one friend from back home who I can't reach. My presence on the Internet has also been very limited. I also would like the motivation one would get from working together.

I have been drawing things for a few years, mostly with pencil and paper. I like drawing from life and occasionally furry art. Send me a PM if you want to contact me elsewhere. I have a Discord account.

Hey guys I'm Caleb, recently I decided it was time to fully commit myself back to art (well the time I have outside of working) It's certainly been a struggle, I've been serious about art for the vast majority of my life, but after quitting I just completely lost my purpose in life. Like it just felt I wasn't living up to my potential in anyway and just getting by.
