Any Artists Here?

Hi! I do acrylics, oils, pencil, colored pencil, sculpture, and occasionally stained glass. I’m currently working on a biology major (ecology concentration), but minoring in studio art.




Copy of a famous painting (acrylic), picture of original on bottom (oils)



Large stained glass, forget the size of it though



Unfinished sculpture



Colored pencil and white ink



White pen on black paper



Acrylic on board



Huge cardboard and marker Indiana Jones

 

I can't seem to be able to add anything after a photo on mobile... sorry for the spam lol

 

I love sketching and drawing, but I took a very long break from it because I became very depressed. I’ve started getting back into it, though. I’ll get some pics when I get home

Beautiful! All of those are beautiful! That sculpture of the dragon is amazing! I too went through a dragon drawing phase but that was back in middle school so they're not nearly as good as yours lol

Your ability to draw fish is incredible! I can't draw fish to save my life lol

I suffer from anxiety and depression also. Getting back into drawing and painting has actually helped me fight the anxiety attacks from being so bad, it gives me something to focus on beside whatever is causing the anxiety attack

Yeah, it’s been keeping me distracted so far. I’ve been getting awful headaches every day, so it’s been really hard finding the motivation. I manage.
The Mona Lisa is over a year old. I stopped working on it because I just didn’t feel like it.
I have a lot more lying around somewhere.

Thanks! For me, I’m pretty certain the dragons won’t stop. I’ve been drawing them since kindergarten

 

My drawings seem to be all over the place, seems I need to get a pic of my current one to post. S.O. wanted a warhammer piece and I had to oblige. Seeing all this good art is inspiring me to get back into it

 

My daughter is into body painting on herself. Here are a few I found.

 

AngelsAbove those are amazing! A lot of people seem to have trouble with fish anatomy (including me lol) but you've nailed it

 

Photography for me. Received my first camera when I was eight years old. I am 62 now.

Seems like you and I have the same things going on. I suffer from chronic migraines and those absolutely suck lol. I have bunch of pieces that are half finished do to my lack on interstate's in finishing them.

Keep on with the dragons! They're awesome

You're very talented! Those are beautiful. My drawings can be pretty sporadic too so I can relate to you lol

Your daughter has got talent! I tried to do a half Joker face paint thing on myself for Halloween and that didn't come out like I wanted lol oh well

 

Wow you guys are good! I do acrylic paintings a ton but they’re just kinda meh.

 

She gets into Halloween a little too much.

She looks like she belongs in a Sonic the Hedgehog game or something lol. Nice job!

Aw thank you

 

KingD Yes, I was inspired by the Sonic The Hedgehog game series and an online game called ToonTown Rewritten. xD Thank you.

She looks awesome! Definitely looks like she belongs in one of the games

 

I would say I am somewhat of a artist, when people ask what I am into I saw fish and art. I only do pencil Drawing because I feel I can get much more detail. I mainly draw dragons from how to train your dragon, dinosaurs, and fish. I have a really good drawing of a blood parrot. I will post photos in a little bit.

I don't do color BTW.

 

My grandma was an art teacher, so I've been drawing/painting since I could hold a pencil. But I haven't done anything since my senior year, so it's been about 3 years. I know I have pictures on another thread similar to this, I'll have to find some and post them. I have lost a lot of my stuff though

 

Most of my art I rush, I typically do it with free time so often I could do better but I just don't have the time. I am not nearly as good as some of these people but I think I'm good right now. I am still working on improving. I only like to do complicated things though, I don't like to do simple things.

 

Do we count photography and graphic design? if so ill upload my stuff. if not I'm not gonna waste the sites storage

Photography and graphic design definitely count!

 

Some of my earliest high school drawings/paintings. Obviously not my best. Some of these are as old as 2012.










And the pumpkins I've got creative with

 

I like using water colors, and I love pencils, I did a nice drawing of the golden gate bridge even though it almost killed me

 

(proof I did these)





This is everything I have at my house now. I don't know what happened to the rest of the stuff I had, if anyone wants a close up of one of these let me know lol. I took this a month or so ago

Your high school art makes my high school art looks like lol. Great job on all of those! I especially like your pumpkin carvings. I stick with the basic smiling pumpkins because that’s all I can do lol

Water colors have been iffy with me. Sometimes I do great and other times.... yikes lol

I’m quitting art lol you’re incredibly talented! That jolly ranchers one looks like a photograph more than a drawing!

Hahaha no don't quit! Thank you though. I wish I would get back into it, maybe this thread will inspire me. I have art supplies sitting all around my house. I personally don't even like most of my stuff. I contemplated posting it, I absolutely hated a lot of the stuff I did (that jolly rancher one being one of them). It doesn't look so bad now that I haven't looked at it in 3 years, but I did hate it then. And that was actually the purpose of that drawing! We had to take a picture of something and then draw it, so I'm glad you said that, it makes me feel a bit better about it.

 

I always free hand

 

I just took the time to actually read through the thread lol

We’re all so critical all our own work

Maybe we just stare it at it too much, looking for all the flaws we can find lol.

I’m definitely very critical of my own work. I actually learn that way so I take criticism of my work the positive way. Like you said, I stare at it too much and things start looking “flawed”.

Umm I totally agree here, I used to get in trouble by my art teacher for being too critical of my own stuff. Haha, I still find that funny to me but I never stopped being over-critical. I did have to take breaks from things though because I would get so frustrated with something not looking right.

I suffer from anxiety and depression also. Getting back into drawing and painting has actually helped me fight the anxiety attacks from being so bad, it gives me something to focus on beside whatever is causing the anxiety attack

I haven't got back into drawing necessarily but I did pick up one of those adult coloring books and it definitely is a way to keep my mind off of other stuff. I meant to quote the other person who mentioned this but I somehow didn't

Awesome dragons! How to train your dragon is a good movie and the series was good too lol

Lol I won’t be quitting but you are very talented. I got back into art because my sister and I wanted to spend less time on our phones and more time just creating things. It was her idea to paint and I’m glad I got back into it.
I wish I could make something look so realistic!

Ive always been critical of my work. That’s the perfectionist in me wanted everything to be perfect lol I get it from my momma lol! Whenever I get frustrated, I have to walk away and take a break. I’ve learned the hard way what happens if I don’t

I had one of those adult coloring books too but I gave up on it. I like creating my own art better than coloring in someone else’s

 

She gets into Halloween a little too much.

No such thing.

Well thank you, it means a lot to hear that! That's awesome that you guys want to spend less time on your phones, I've been that way recently too. But I've been deciding to set up to get a gecko haha. Art would definitely be less expensive. You can create something realistic with time, practice, the right material and the right teacher (even if it's yourself). You just have to look at things a bit differently than people typically do.

I agree, creating is much much better but to have something that I can take with me or just grab in a few seconds is nice to have handy.

I’d like to be less dependent on my phone honestly. Whenever I get bored, I pick up my phone and scroll through social media which is bad. I want to get back in touch with my artistic roots so I’m all for more painting and less phones. I would be setting up more tanks and buying more fish but that’s pricey and I’m on a budget right now so painting will do for now lol. I’d like to continue drawing and painting so I can improve my skills. I’m a self taught type of learner so I’ll keep working on it

That’s what I thought I’d use it for, just grab and go type of art but I never really used it much. I think it’s still sitting somewhere in my house lol

 

Artist referring to a painter? or someone who draws? I can't draw to save my life but I'm a dancer so I guess that's consider an artists as well no? lol
