Made this as a quick sketch for my kid, decided to do a quick touch-up in GIMP for printing it again later.

feedback appreciated

Trying to emulate the style of traditional landscape printing my grand parents had at their house. I guess those must have been painting with oil (I wouldn't know).

They have so much style. No idea how they ended up with so much style when my wife and I probably have negative style.

When I asked my son if I could post this he replied "AAAAAAAA! MY FACE FOR THE WHOLE INTERNET TO SEE? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO /s nah post that shit it was fire asf"

She gave me permission to post this as long as I don't share her name. But she didn't say I couldn't tell you she was our fire bug. She's given us a grandchild and is still grounded for lighting the carpet in her bedroom on fire.

There are tiny gemstones but they are hard to show in a picture.

Freehand oil, I sure have a hard time with the eyes, gotta work on that.

Ink and Marker, Still learning how to use markers

Practicing contour lines. Still far from perfect, but I'm improving.

Yeah I know, you don't get my actual face.

Playing a bit with water and ink/pens again, really love how the textures it creates speak to my current mood.

Hi! I can't draw to save my life, but since I discovered colouring books (I didn't know they had them for adults, and especially I didn't know they made non-mandala ones!!!!) I've been feeling like a kid again.

Based on a Lautrec-Toulouse piece

The latest in my growing collection of portraits marking the current political era in the US.

I'm still following tutorials but I'm having a lot of fun exploring mediums and seeing myself improve. I really like the branches and twigs it adds so much more depth.

From my archive, when I used to make smudge paint. I will definitely be bringing back this style in future artworks.

Her name is Anouk. She is an oc for a book series im reading. The name is stolen from a discord server for said book series :3

Left is looking at the model and painting for 1.5 hours, right is taking a picture of the model and keeping the photo of her next to the painting for 15 minutes. Clearly focusing on painting from a digital reference is a much different skill set than looking at a person. I'm going to try to learn the grid process for when I go back.

I remember trying to get a water color look, and then it turned into something that looked like it was sculpted in Blender.

Having fun, started as a study on eyes and turned into the rest of the face on accident. Bob-Ross'd it.

He's too dangerous to be left alive!

AKA someone trusted me with a button maker for some reason.

For the hair I experimented with one of those super-wide dip pens. It was like painting with the side of a hammer. Switched to a brush which was much nicer.

Pretty happy with most of this but there's some elements that I could improve.

After Jules eating a tasty burger I was feeling confident enough to take on The Stare. It's my best painting yet but the expression isn't quite right, it's lacking intensity of the original and I'm not sure what I'm missing. Feedback?

EDIT: After reading and laughing at all the guesses in the comments, she finally fessed up. It was supposed to be a zora from BotW/Totk, but it didn't turn out the way she wanted, so she just disowned it.

My personal best art

Another titanium print! This one is super geometric - the basis of the print is just a bunch of squares/diamonds rotated around a central point, the visual complexity comes from the combination of how they overlap and motion control of my pen plotter (specifically that it needs to accelerate and decelerate as it changes directions).

Hamburgers! The cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast!

Have been struggling to motivate lately, and have not painted anything in a couple months, trying to get back into it.

I've been playing around with more abstract stuff lately - I'm doing a series of prints that are basically just weird circles, hence the goofy old timey name of cyclometry :) The colors on this came out really neat in person!
