Hey everyone, I go by Barkeep on most things on the interweb.
but, my name is Mike. I've dawn/painted all of my life.
I was talented as a kid, and have been a daily drawer for as long as I can remember.
for the last 10 years or so I have been doing digital work.
I started with Autodesk sketchbook 2011 and a mouse, then bought a Bamboo tablet.
then spent 6 years painting on my phone. (various Galaxy Note)
It was my Identity.
I liked the fact that people couldn't believe that I could pull some of those drawings off on a phone.
- but, I see now that I was wasting precious time. I was never going to get work like that.
I am now learning how to use a full fledged art program.
I mostly do character work in the Fantasy genre,
superhero stuff, and cartooning.
(I've never touched Photoshop)
I now use a Huion Kamvas 13 and clip studio paint.
occasionally Autodesk Sketchbook.
- I'm very fluent with the mobile version for Android.
I thought it might be interesting to join this community, as I just started to build up a portfolio exactly ten days ago.
Actually I hate talking about myself, but still, here we go, this is an introduction after all. :)
I'm 27 yrs old, born in New York, raised in Germany, living in Munich, worked in filmproduction as an editor and now heading more and more into Creative Direction and that stuff.
Besides all of that, I never lost my love for drawing and painting, I mean after all, drawing was basically the first thing I was kinda good at as a kid and teenager, endlessly drawing comics and characters only a few of my closest friends got to see in the end, because I always ended up hating my own work.
So why not get this all started again and maybe see where this might go, even though I noticed I'm still my toughest critique. :)
I then started training in digital painting, which was completely new, doing some personal and quick character concepts and concept art stuff. Basically I kept training and studying day and night, while working on other projects at work.
So, now I'm not only here to share my progress, but maybe even to discuss some ideas and inspirations and get to know one or two of you guys. :)
Hello all, my name is Diana. I stumbled across this forum while watching a YouTube video and I decided to try it out! It's really cool to see an art community actually try and help each other improve and I hope to contribute to that.
About me:
I'm 21 years old living in the USA. I'm currently going to school for Computer Science though I'll admit it's taking a little longer due to everything going on plus some personal things. Currently working in IT at my university. I'm usually a big concert-goer, though I'll be having to put that on hold for now. I love to play games (Switch, PS4, PC, and STILL my 3DS) with my boyfriend along with my little gaming group. Am also a big hiker as I grew up in the PNW!
I've been drawing since I was about 11 or 12. I copied a lot of anime styled art and went from there. Never learned the basics nor did I study anatomy so my progress continuously plateaued. I drew a lot of "original characters" and made up stories for them which I posted to Instagram. Since then I'd fallen out of art all together a few times, thinking that I would never improve. More recently I've picked up the pencil/drawing tablet again and realized that this is something that I am truly passionate about. Other people's art has also sparked a fire in me as I so desperately wish I were as good as my idols.
My current goal is to hunker down during these trying times and really put in the work that I was never really willing to before. Thanks everyone for reading!
Hi guys I got into this forum cause I saw Eytan Zana recommend this forum so why not give it a shot? I've started art since I was a kid but only now have seen the possible job oppurtunities it could possibly offer me. I've been really lazy doing art for some years now and maybe joining this forum might make me accountable and even level up my skills on the way. Might also get me out of my analysis paralysis whenever it comes to bigger art pieces
So I decided to join this forum after it being recommended by a friend!
I'm not an experienced artist at all - let's say I've ''properly'' drawn for like....3 weeks combined?! Started again like 3-4 days ago.
My approach is in detail and realism so you can tell I get some very ''funny'' results due to trying to draw like that with my lack of skill, haha.
But that's why I'm here! I'm looking to start showing my art more (even though you can't really call that yet) to get some criticism aka tips on what to improve on or try especially since I decided to get serious with drawing alongside Japanese.
Hope to gain lots of valuable artsy knowledge here and meet some nice people in the process here! :D
My name is BadSugar. I see that this internet community is quite supportive in suggesting improvement on each other their concept art which makes it great place to further progress in concept art.
At this moment I am watching the playlist Hobbes Sakuga (作画) MADS on YouTube which contains a lot different artworks.
One of the best current concept artists or at least one of the better well-known I know of is Feng Zhu.
Other things I am interested in are athletics,
cats and dogs
Hello guys, I’m Mosope, a 20 year old learning artist and I’m just looking forward to learning and contributing to this forum in any way I can, I have an Instagram account where I post some of my art @mo_sope_ , and if you feel I can help you in any way, don’t hesitate to reach out. Yeah I’m also available for commissions and collabs.
Thanks!✨
I missed forums, I used to lurk all the time back in the concept art days. Social media just buries everything under it's content juicing algorithms. Since this seems to be the last active art forum I'm gonna do my best to be active, and post "quality" material.
A little about myself: I like drawing, writing, reading. I got an egg head to matched my receding hairline, and I love art.
Hello, hello, I am choco, I seek to learn and meet other arts and learn together!, I would like help and a guide where to study
I joined the forum, because lately I have burned, studying in my quarantine, I feel that I do not focus well, since I do not achieve the objectives I wanted, I am a 21-year-old art student who has a dream of living from art. at least have a good level, although lately I've been getting stressed and anxiety for that reason.
Please also I would like to know how the forum works, or what has happened to it, I have seen good tutorials out there such as "enviroments rock" that even though it was done years ago, I have been practicing and reviewing it, it is quite good!
I have high hopes for this forum. I am going to post some paintings that I have done for my years of study, I feel that there are very few, and I would like to paint more, I focus a lot on drawing mainly practicing anatomy
