This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨

Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Been awhile since I drew without reference, but today was a bit of a challenge, 3rd attempt. Slowly and steadily getting back into traditional mediums rather than digital. Let me know what you think.

Nice, better than what I could do. I suggest adding shade between the trunk and tusk (corrected), I thing that would help depth. Also maybe adding some subtle details too make sure the bib doesn't get interpreted as a trophy mount plaque. Maybe continue it dressed in a onesie?

Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it. And, I will.

I like it. The tusks look like katanas (tuskatanas?) I think the hard shading line in the middle is the only thing really pushing that perception for me. Well done overall!

Thank you, I guess for some reason it was bad anatomy of an elephant's tusks. They looked flat so I added the 'seam' lol. Thank you.
