This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨

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.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

You actually attempted it and did a good job while also developing your skills as an artist.

I often think of doing the same but never get to that point .... and most people are the same. You achieved something most people haven't but wished they had.

And if you keep making more, they will only become better. I'm happy for you and I look forward to seeing more.

Thank you for nice words. I look forward to more feedback as I share my future drawings here.

~~failing~~ learning

(possibly still miserably, but that puts you in company with Van Gogh, etc.)

Keep growing!

Are you kidding, that looks awesome! Is this Lauterbrunnen?

[–] rippermonty 6 points 6 hours ago

Oh, I just looked and yes it's probably that. I didn't completely follow the reference picture but that church building looks like it's from Lauterbrunnen.

I like this! I like it a lot, and I'd be proud to have painted it. The general aesthetic appeals to me, and I'm particularly fond of the left half of the valley. I love the color work, how loud the highlights are against the darker colors without being offensive to the eye; it's a very visually striking style.

Only read if you want constructive feedback:

If I had to guess what's "wrong", I'd say that it's that the detailing over distance is inconsistent. You've got some things that are sharply detailed at a far distance (the church) and other things that are loosely detailed at that same distance (the trees). The line work also seems a little wobbly (speaking as someone who does vastly worse line work). The last thing is that the very far off snow is really, really, really bright, which seems to suggest to the eye that it's much closer than it ought to be.

I agree with you assessment. Consistency in detail is an issue here. I changed my mind few times while painting it, whether to make the details loose or closely knit.

Nice job my friend!

Thank you!

art is permission to fail.

and you don't get better without failing a lot.

We are our own worst critics, no one in this thread is zooming in and seeing all the things you know you did wrong. as a finished work it is pretty good.

[–] turtlepower@lemm.ee 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I wish I could paint half as well. Are you using oils?

[–] rippermonty 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It's digital but I was trying to mimic oil painting style but I forgot midway and start using plain brush so I lost some of the texture. Haha

[–] turtlepower@lemm.ee 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

You young people and your technology. Why can't you just get cancer and cobalt poisoning like your eldersβ€½ lol

[–] rippermonty 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I actually want to do traditional art but I don't have dedicated space right now. My nose is sensitive to the oil and paint smell. I'll do oil painting one day for sure.

[–] turtlepower@lemm.ee 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I was just joking around! While working with oils is a wonderful experience, is it really worth the cancer and heavy metal poisoning? lol

[–] rippermonty 1 points 2 hours ago

I used to go to calligraphy class as a child (Urdu in Nastaleeq pattern) and my teacher was actually a very skilled oil painter. I'm fascinated with the medium ever since. Later, My sister studied fine arts and I tried it on a small canvas at her place, it was exciting. I painted a bird but it never came to life, lol.
