Can you spot the two lovers on that painting ?

All work made in MS Paint (Windows 10) with a computer mouse only.

I started using MS Paint in earnest in April of 2014, and I've been developing my cartoonish style since.

I loved playing with proportions and caricature, which leant naturally to my huge passion of medieval history as I explored the art of the time.

In my work I try to reflect my interests and story, and this is a collection of my Video Game Illuminated Manuscripts. Adapting core parts into a medieval sensibility and referencing it's medieval analogue for proportions and decorations. For example; ● Pikachu is framed in a page representing the Pokedex. ● Sephiroth is depicted as a biblically accurate medieval angel/seraphim.

Thanks for hearing my story ☺️

Dê um zoom para ver melhor. :)

Thinking of turning the fish paintings into a bit of a series so let me know what you think I should paint next!

A contemporary witty play on the ritual of sacred communion in a new generation setting. Worship is the celebration.

I wanted this piece to exude RELIGION but younger, fresher, and inviting instead of intimidating. My favorite details of this piece are absolutely the Holy Ghost choir, the “Shaggy to Judas” reference, and the word board which further ties it to the club scene.

Ive included a whiteboard drawing I did just because hey, its an art subreddit, not sure if im required to include a drawing with my post but better safe than sorry. Note this is NOT my friend's art, its mine.

So my friend is a completely beginner artist, like "cannot draw a stick figure" beginner, and shes trying to learn how to draw because she really wants to. But she keeps frustrating herself and generally having a negative attitude towards her art and her ability to make it. She has aphantasia and considers this a handicap, and while im not sure if thats true or not (just because you can picture something doesnt mean you have the skills to make it go on the paper yknow?) its a big deal for her and im not gonna ignore what she believes is a genuine limitation.

Im really worried she's going to end up comparing herself with her other artist friends forever and never actually enjoy making her own art. She always tears her own drawings down when she shows them to us. Ive tried complimenting her art and giving her tips but she really seems to be in a constant state of negative self-talk around her art. I actually hesitate to post my own art where she can see it because i dont want to discourage her!

Shes told me shes currently learning how to draw out of spite, to get back at AI for being shitty. I really want to help her develop a positive relationship with the artistic process and i have no idea how I can help her go about that (or if i should!) Is there anyone who was in her shoes once?

Ive been drawing since i was able to hold a crayon, so i really have no reference point for learning the skill from zero and all my tutorials are really for someone who already knows the basics that a lot of artists take for granted (like knowing how to draw a smooth line from point A to point B). Some advice or just stories from people who started from scratch later in life might be helpful. Anything that can help me encourage her or at least just understand her process here.

Throwback piece honoring the dance era from the 2000s.

Someone told me my $35 commission isn’t worth it because AI can generate better results. this piece took me around 6 hours to complete. well if you think $35 will only get you a digital piece of art, you probably wrong. you could turn that into everything you want actually. since it’s your own character you could print it on a shirt then wear it or print some stickers from it then make it ss a gift.

so much you can do with $35 worth or art. i think if you start seeing from that pov, you would understand how $35 is really good amount of money to spend on.

I'm 15 and i think i draw pretty well for my age but I feel like I'm falling behind. But can you fr make a living out of js commissions alone? I want to know since I have no idea what to do other than to draw once I'm out of school 😭

it’s been fun, but maybe it’s time to move on to a different hobby, like sewer-slide ideation? Full time substance abuse? idk.

Estos son unos cuantos diseños de los mineros de sal del mundo de Shards of Noria, un proyecto de animación en el que trabaje hace un tiempo, todo esto lo trabaje en el programa de dibujo digital Procreate, muy buen programa 100% recomendado 👌
