Several watchers probably dabble in drawing and paitning. This is a thread for sharing your work. We already have the rpg fan art thread, but this is a more general art thread. So welcome to post here.
One thing: If you post here, you must accept comment/critisizms. You do whatever you want to of course, but I will, if I feel like it comment on/critisize whatever is posted in this thread. And if I think soimething is bad, I'll say it (but with a hint on what can be done to improve the work). I expect nothing less from other watchers.
This spring I've attended an oil painting course by a very talented Norwegian painter, Frøydis Aarseth (https://www.froydisfineart.com/new-page-4). I've learned a lot from her, and this is what I've done
This still life is not finished. I've established most of the main colours, and is working on the 3d shape of things and the shadows. However 3 of the element prove to be a bit difficult, so I have to do separate sketches for those (the rightmost (very flat) and the left/uppermost (lots of very detailed textures) rocks) and the glass to the right). I've finished work on the glass, result given below. I've yet to finish the other ones. After that I'll start working on the details, including highlights. I'll probablyn finish the painting in a couple of weeks. And unless heavy protests, I will post the finished work.
The glass (filled with yellow tinted painting medium):
a pibbur who has yet to do fantasy/game art and prefers to work with canvases and oils. And of course charcoal.
PS. Drawing/painting glasses is (at least to me) notorously difficult, but it illustrates very well one of the important aspects of drawing and painting: using your eyes. That is carefully looking for reflections, highlight areas, how shapes are distorted by the glass itself and the fluid. And of course, knowing what to look for. Which can be achieved by drawiing the same motive again and again and again, learning from your mistakes, until you get it right. DS.
