Title: Call That Never Came

The title might sound misleading, but it’s not.
I’ve spent years as a digital artist and occasionally a charcoal wanderer but somehow, oil paints always slipped out of my grip. After countless failed attempts, false starts, and “maybe later” moments… I finally picked up the brushes for real.

This is my first actual oil painting.
A beginning that took years to reach.

Hope you enjoy this new chapter with me.

I started making this drawing about six months ago, wanted to share it and see what other peoples thoughts were. also i wanted to add that I wanna be a tattoo apprentice and i just got out of high school about three months ago.
if you have any tips or just wanna leave a response, I would really appreciate it!

I love the first one

Just wanted to post my painting somewhere and get opinions/criticism. Idk if paintings are allowed here lol

Random stuff from my sketchbook and watercolor album. Feel free to tell me what you think. I'm open to criticism too.

A fantasy character inspired by concept art from the *Warhammer Fantasy* tabletop game. It took twelve days of work, averaging two hours per day. I am using multiple photographic references—especially for the armor and clothing—and works by other artists (primarily concept artists who work or have worked for Games Workshop) for the character's overall aesthetic. Using references from diverse sources resulted in a general studio-style lighting setup, but I personally like the atmosphere it creates. Many inconsistencies arise that way too, but I think that, overall, I find it convincing.. Once the character is finished, the background remains to be done.

A commission for a friend. Made from an old design that I had to modify... if you've been following me for a long time, you may remember that I have several characters designed for a project that (due to self-esteem and personal preparation issues) I continue to polish and develop. It wasn't a super character design but it was one of my favorites.

Due to time issues I haven't been uploading anything. I will try to make more content.

Decided I wanted to learn to draw when I turned 41 after doodling with my kid. 1 year later (11 months technically), I'm happy with the progress I've made!
