I've seen a couple people mention (digital) painting or drawing among their hobbies and jobs, and I'm curious how many there really are. Feel free to share your work here, I'd love to see some of your pictures.
Yup! Been drawing for a while, mostly when I was a lot younger, although took it up again recently.
Here's a few thumbnails of some recent digital paintings I did this summer.
More art is in my current portfolio here: https://www.artstation.com/shponglefan
I'd love to see if there are any other artists around these parts! I feel there is a lot of overlap between music and artistic skills.
Cool! You've mentioned a Marco Bucci tutorial on artstation, was this the one?
A couple days ago just for fun I googled where the best illustration forums are these days and found a post that said they're all pretty much dead and the good discussions all moved to facebook. Can anyone confirm that?
That is indeed it! It's a fun twist on a typical value study. Though I learned quickly not to use overly saturated colors, since the results look horrific. Desaturated colors seem to work better.
If anything, I'd blame Reddit on the demise of traditional forums for a lot of subjects. On certain forums I've frequented in the past, the number of new members started to die off a lot in the last decade. I think younger people are flocking to other social media platforms for these discussions, especially Reddit.
I used to paint digitally and did half of classical atelier, the drawing part, didn't get to oil painting due to illness. Here's a quick and bad photo:
Great stuff.
I've collected some of my work here. Each of the 5 pages contains at least one digital painting, the rest is Photoshop- and/or vector work. 99% is cover art for cd's and vinyls. (There's a page reserved for my music as well, but that still a work in progress.)
