Lil sprite cheering you on

That looks really nice. You should share that on artshare@lemmy.world
Ooo I didn't know this thread existed~ thank youu
This feels like a little Hollowknight OC, I love them. Hello Greenpath bestie
that's a good little sprite!
🌱✨🌱✨ Sprite blessings upon thee
Beautiful!
This is super good. I love it.

Well it's the best one so far!
Why?
The sun is a deadly lazer.
I'm terrible at drawing, so I in fact cannot.
But I'll take this as an opportunity to experiment.

This looks like it might be the bottom of the mountain in the old game SkiFree
SkiFree
Damn. If someone told me then, that in the future you download and boot a whole OS (DOS) in the browser to run a few-KB game...
I like it
I like it. It's beautiful.
looks like the rough draft of a fedora default wallpaper (in a good way)
Can't draw you say?
Wasnt really planning to draw tonight, but you know what, sure, Ill try something, Ive been needing something to distract me from my anxiety problems today anyway.


Thanks for the inspiration!
A group of Fn keys, lazing in the water.
Just Fn around.
Fn yeah!
Love it, this is now the title.
awwww cute
Ohhh, nice. Do you have an aquarium?
not these days, I did once, but nowadays I have a lizard because they're a bit more interactive for a scaly animal.
Awwwwwwwww!!!
VeeDub aerial fun...


So happy 😄
Unless you're allergic to avocados..

I dunno if I’ve ever seen the super S without a pointy tip top and bottom before today
The sacred glyph!
Cool

Kittens are a reliable source of joy
Has a look like you just caught it in the middle of making mischief!
Well of course! They are mischief incarnate after all >:)

This is awesome

I tried drawing a boykisser

Best I can do.

Looks like a balloon but that's how you can tell it's a speech bubble.
Very Don Hertzfeldt
Oh, that's the highest of praises! Thank you!

The goodest boy
My favorite.
Oh that's a great one!

Here's a kitty cat
I will never not upvote cat


Have a hamster in a lemon helmet
Umm... I got Gerard Way as a Blemmy?

I see David Hasselhof Strong Mad, but I old
I see it too you might be right on that one...
Here's one from a couple days ago.

I was shown this neat webapp called wigglypaint by internet janitor for making wiggly gifs.

How does it know whether the edges should be crisp (stars) or wiggly (everything else)?
Different tools in the program, the coloured marker always shakes around like the stars here (with the crisp diamond shape being an option for it), while the black wiggly lines all behave differently depending on the tool and how you draw the line.


Ok I too drew a picture

Hey, I made something similar!



Thanks for the lolz
Dickbutt energy
High praise
Here's something I drew last week.

I never got around to really properly starting a game project I was making 9 years ago (gee, time flies) called The Great Adventure. In it you'd explore a tropical island! In the quit screen there was a message "the turtles bid you goodbye!"
Now the game was just a text-based thing written in Turbo Pascal for DOS, but this illustration here is what I had in mind.
Wow, I haven't thought about Turbo Pascal or Borland in such a long time! Thanks for triggering some happy memories. I bid the turtle goodbye back!
That sounds like a really cute game. Love the turtle too!


I touched my phone and this happened
eh, best I can do

Not a new picture, in fact, a very old doodle, but i like threads like this because fuck AI
Ignore the fact that my fish look like peens, im very aware

Oooooooo... nice doodle!
Thank you! I wish I doodled more nowadays
Someone once told me “if you want to be good at art, try drawing things upside down”.
Here is an upside down apple that I flipped 180…

Munch's The Scream with emacs artist-mode


I dont really know how to draw beautiful pictures, or pianos for that matter
A piano outdoors is a beautiful thing & I like this image for it's simplicity - it makes you stop a moment :)

Adorable!

Made for the thread.

Thank you :)
I see The Cool/Universal S
There was a subreddit that I really miss called something like "whatsthiscookiecutter", where people would post a cookie cutter they couldn't figure out. People would create all sorts of weird, random, and funny drawings.
Be the change you want to see. Make that community.
I'd love to, but I was just a lurker. I have the artistic talent of a potato :(
All the more reason to moderate it and find weird cookie cutters and have other people draw.
Something I did some time ago, but a bright image for dank winter days :)

This comment section has so much amazing drawings, man.
I got a much better response than anticipated. I love it! Ive been trying to make an effort to contribute to Lemmy instead of just lurking. I also started making some small contributions to Lemmy and Lemmy.world.
I love it here, thanks for your participation everyone!
yeh I wish I could draw. or color inbetween the lines.
A crow I did for Halloween, dunno about beautiful but it's the first time I tried watercolors.

Bloody good first go!
Doodling


Yes. Will I? No I have other stuff to do tonight.
Maybe tomorrow? :)
No but I can draw you a shitty picture
Do it i wanna see the shitty picture!
i am trying to think of beauty today started really shitty. someone turned off my cat's litter box i'm gonna need more than a minute.
Oh thats unfortunate, I think you should use one of the shit nuggets as a crayon for your masterpiece.
Jokes aside, I hope your day turns around and you find some beauty in it
the beauty i am finding is that the person who turned it off (by her own admission so she could see how quickly i jumped to the conclusion that it was her that turned it off. except we were all right there moving boxes so like, i am not sure she was thinking things through) she is someone else's problem for the next foreseeable future. goodbye! don't let the ass kicking machine kick you in the ass on your ass out!
No, I cannot.
What's everyone using to draw? I shouldn't be suprised that Lemmy users are overwhelming choosing digital art. Personally, I used the Sketchbook app with a pressure sensitive stylus.
It, uh, genuinely didn't occur to me that I could draw with my hands physically
I use Krita, and a Wacom Intuos tablet. (Currently on Windows. ...I have confirmed both 100% work on Linux tho.)
I used the fossify paint app on my phone.
Pencil, watercolour, then a random mix of biro, gel pen, fountain pen for details
My notes app has a drawing option.
Photoshop and a huion display tablet.
I'm TERRIBLE at drawing :((
And I'm terrible at looking at drawings. But if you draw it, I'll look at it.
People aren't looking for skill here, this isn't an art community. Don't let your lack of skills stop you from trying. Even a stick figure is good enough.

I love how expressive this is, and how it juxtaposes the authors main thesis against an elegant visual counterpoint.
You just drew something & I love it, creating something doesn't have to meet mainstream standards, the act of creation is at the heart of art :)
So no pressure!
I honestly can't. They tell me drawing, like playing an instrument, just takes patience and time. I can play multiple instruments, but my drawing skills have been the same since I was about 8.
I once drew a picture of Judge Dredd, that came out half-decent when I was 12. However it was mostly traced and took me hours.
You're fine. Just let the pencil wander and see what comes out!

I'm the same as you, haven't really improved at drawing since I was a little kid. But this is Lemmy, not Reddit. People here aren't looking for perfection, your drawing skills are more than enough for this thread.
It's of course fine to not want to draw something, but don't hold back just because you think your skills aren't good enough.
Username does not bear out in reality.
I got skills!! Just can't draw for shit 🤣
Thats the beauty of art though, its just a thing humans do, you dont have to be "good at it".
The commodification of art has made us forget what being human means
Arg....im so lame. I love Lemmy and want to respond with a doodle, but im lousy at this. Any advice would be appreciated....
Just scrawl something. Anything. Doesn't really matter and that is the point. It is just about stating that you can do something, by yourself. Do a tetris like shape. Write something and add some unnecessary curves or angles to each letter. Don't care about the what. Care about the trying.
I can draw you a beautiful picture. Maybe I'll just appreciate what others have posted.
Nope. Would if I could, can't so I wouldn't. lol

Sorry for all the deleted post spam.. Mobile app was freaking out. Anyways here's one from Sketchbook app on my phone with stylus:)
Nice, I like it :)
