I Started Painting Literally 48 Hours Ago (WARNING: Strong, graphic, violent content) Opinions? * 5
    #22267659 - 09/20/15 11:50 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

I don't have any real talent for it, I'm a novice, literally started less than 2-3 days ago, but I enjoy it. It's a nice way to express different components of myself. What do you guys think?

This is the 2nd painting I ever created. I thought it looked very rudimentary, kind of like something a 5th grader would draw



This is the first painting where I truly expressed something that was deep inside of me, and not just drawing something to be pleasing to the eye



This one is technically not a painting, it's a colored pencil drawing. And I have to warn you, it is very graphic and gory and rapey. But this is the first one I spent hours and hours slaving over, the rest I spent maybe 20-30 minutes max on each of them.

I mean it definitely shows that the second two have alot more substance to them.  The last one is downright disturbing :smirk: and I am a fan of gore so that is saying something.

Definitely keep it up.  #2 is near professional quality IMO in terms of composition so if that's what you're doing right off the bat you absolutely have talent there :thumbup: if I were to offer feedback I would say study anatomy and maybe take a figure drawing class, as you seem to have a knack for that sort of thing

Thanks for the reviews, guys! Think I should try to sell any of these on Etsy or somewhere else? :lol: My friend is saying I should try Deviant Art or Hentai Foundry to sell the erotic gore, apparently there's tons of anime and hentai fans and there's a huge market for this sort of thing.

Say I am selling one of these… an original artwork (NOT a copy) on a 9x12 canvas or thick quality paper… and I spend 1 hour on a painting. How much should I charge for one of these?

As opposed to a painting that I spend 6+ hours on… how much should I charge for that?

And like I said, I'm no artist, literally just started days ago, so I'm not expecting much. So I figure maybe $30 for the 1-hour ones, and $60 for the 6-hour ones is a pretty fair deal, especially since I have no name.

Yeah I mean I would just go by what you value your time and how many hours you put in on it, but I'm not sure what the market is for that stuff.  I've never sold anything myself, and honestly I don't know any artists that really sell paintings.  Most artists I know do like t-shirts and design stuff like that for money, because getting someone to buy paintings these days is pretty hard.  If you learned computer graphics that pencil drawing could probably be turned into a badass t-shirt. (they all could really)

If you want to get into making money I would say landscapes and stuff is better, because to get shown in a gallery you've got to either suck up to art snobs or get really lucky.  I've seen some people that seem to do pretty well doing cityscapes and selling them on the street.  That modern impressionist type style you've got could even work for that.  You've gotta think, 'what would a chumpy tourist like to hang in their living room?'

That's kinda why I gave up on being an artist (a working one at least).  Only a lucky few get to do what they love for pay, and you've really gotta sell yourself more than the work.  To me perverting something that comes from me like that is just not what I want.  If I'm gonna sell out, I'll just work a job I figger.

Honesetly, I've seen some SHITTY artwork being sold on Etsy for over $500-$1,000. Check out Etsy's current collection: https://www.etsy.com/c/art-and-collectibles/painting

I'm sure some of these artists have names for themselves, and some of these are very talented, but Christ some of these are really just average, especially when factoring price in the equation.

I do tend to draw anime quite well though, kind of similar to the last gore drawing… and my friend was saying that Deviant Art or Hentai Foundry would be the locations to sell artwork like this… apparently there's a huge market of people who will request a specific hentai drawing from you, and they will pay you anywhere between $50-$300 for the drawing. Well, that is what I would charge anyway depending on how elaborate the drawing is, and how many hours I spent on it.

Well it's like they always say on Pawn Stars: just because that is someone's asking price it doesn't mean anyone's buying it.

Commissions online seem to be a pretty big avenue too these days, but those are pretty niche scenes and you've got to pay your dues to get established.  Just start putting your work up and see what people think.  You are already better than most of the stuff I have seen on DA, but I think people pay for commissions because they admire the artist as much as appreciate the work.

The lines on the woman's body with the ropes are really solid, I can't even critique that.  If you put in the time to tighten up the composition I think it would easily be salesworthy, as the subject matter is unique and going to appeal to some of those niche crowds online.

The musculature and shading on the guys is good, you clearly have a good understanding of that, but there's some quirky things about it that I think could really be improved if you did some life-studies.  Even with anime that stuff is more important than alot of people think getting into it.  Considering you already have in interest in the human body I think you will pick it up quicker than most.  In my opinion even if you are drawing from imagination, having that fundamental understanding of anatomy is what sets apart the good and the great with figure drawing.

One thing you could do is just get a textbook or webpage with muscle/skeletal diagrams and just try to copy as many as you can.  Learn different poses and the tiny little subtleties of the body that determine posture and form.  That will make things more fluid I think and give you a real edge in the very saturated anime scene.

Wow!  I love the 1st one.  It is 1) very trippy, and 2) reminds me of Pandora from Avatar.  Maybe try that same line drawing style and do Zentangle sort of stuff, over top of a neat colorful background?

LOL no way. Those paintbrushes are thinner than pencils. I wouldn't be able to grip them vaginally unless I was a zygote. I do plan on collecting my menstrual blood and painting with that though.

I'm surprised everybody likes the first one the best. I will try to draw more stuff like that. I do have one more, it's the very first painting I ever made. The lines are in a similar style to the 1st painting I posted in this thread, I will come back and post it once I finish my most recent painting. It's just a picture of a horses face.

If you like trippy stuff you will probably like this one. It's the first drawing I made, and was the inspiration for me to begin making art. I was tripping balls on acid and turned off all the lights and started drawing while hallucinating, in a disoriented, blind, and confused state. I realized, holy shit, this is the exact feeling that I get from PCP! THIS is AWESOME! Speaking of pcp, I'm working on one now that is related to my  PCP trips.

That acid trip in Philadelphia changed my life, and influenced me to start painting and drawing. You have no idea how hard it was to draw this in total darkness while hallucinating and totally distracted every few seconds.

I agree. I started that when I had no art supplies so those were just drawn with ballpoint pens on computer paper. Now that I have art supplies I intend on drawing similar stuff next time I'm tripping on mushrooms or acid.

Why do you think trolling? This is exactly the type of stuff that I would draw, since it is relevant to my life story. The syringes, the PCP, the violence...

Anyway, here is the first painting I ever made a couple days ago. I didn't want to post it because I thought it sucked, but since somebody requested it... It's in the same style as the first colorful painting that everybody seems to like for some reason…

That's very sweet. Thank you. I will admit, I always had artistic talent when I was a child. I actually won awards for some projects I turned into art class (that were submitted to contests and museums) when I was like 5-6 years old. I remember my artwork was on display at some mall for like a few weeks, and another time I won an award at a museum. I had such a talent for drawing as a pubescent, that my parents strongly thought I would end up going to art school or this school in Japan where a lot of famous comic book and anime artists graduate from.

I started drawing lots of comic books and hentai when I was in high school, and my circle of friends really enjoyed my work… but around age 14 or 15 I got heavily into drugs, and I just… I don't know, I stopped. Just started again shortly after a recent acid trip I had.

This is my first time taking up painting however. But I've always been into drawing as an adolescent. I guess you could say I took a very long break.

A lot of my friends have been suggesting that I turn my life stories into a comic book.

That shading is a huge improvement from your other stuff IMO. As much as a severed dick in the hand is worth two in the bush and all, makes me uneasy it is impressive work :thumbup: The horse is awesome too.

That's interesting that people like the horse and the colored bird/insect painting the most. Those were the only paintings that I truly free-formed.

Usually with the other ones, I trace the outlines first, and then go over the lines with either a marker or black paint. But with the horse and the colored bird/insect painting, those were the only ones I free-formed and went straight in with a paintbrush with.



Just sketched up another one, of a bodybuilder juicing and looking in the mirror. I will have to come back and work on this one more later, I didn't like this one that much and already lost the inspiration to finish this one

Just painted this in a few minutes. Everybody seemed to like the horse and the first painting I posted in this thread the most… so I painted another one in the similar style. This one was free-form, no tracing or anything involved.

There is only so much I could have done.  I had no real authority.  Not my kid.  His mother knows he's an asshole and an idiot but she is hellbent on getting him a degree even if it is bullshit.  Regardless, no matter what amybody did he would be an idiot.  His mother made him an asshole by coddling.  He needed his ass kicked and that was out of the question

Yea. That sucks. I have the same issue with my oldest boy. Mom just wants to keep him on her tit and he needs a good ass kicking. Dad always loses because he wants to the children to be responsible adults while the mom wants to give them everything. Sucks dude

Thanks. Everybody seems to like my free-form and freestyle stuff the best, so I drew 2 more in the exact same style. No tracing involve in either of these. I just completely cleared my mind, and drew completely based on instinct, the first thing that came to mind.

Thanks, that was actually my first commission job. I haven't joined any art forums or anything, but I posted my stuff on Facebook. Turn out my friend from high school collects art, and requested a special drawing for me to make. Based on his favorite paintings of mine, I made that one specially for him.

Those lines on the muscles are a huge improvement.  Much more fluid and well articulated.  I would say now it is better balanced with your female forms, which were good from the start really.

I'd pay $150 or more for that.  Eyes, not elf torture rape.  But nice revenge.

Do a Jackson Pollock style piece. :trollz: Not that I would want you to mimic but I feel you have a strong sense of color, or rather, you use colors interestingly, like you achieve very specific tones that compliment each other. Also, your brush work in the paintings is well done, ie. the horse's mane.

sorry guys, haven't posted on the shroomery in a while. Just wanted to update and say I'm still making art.

I've noticed people tend to like my more instinctual, primal drawings better. By that I mean paintings where there is very little forethought, I just paint whatever comes to me naturally. As opposed to my conceptual pieces, where I meticulously plan all the content, and it takes me hours to complete as opposed to 30 minutes.

What do you guys think, do you prefer the meticulous stuff or the instinctual stuff?

Instinctual:









Methodical and analytical:







Which style is better to you guys? It's funny cause for all the instinctual stuff my hand movements are extremely erratic and bizarre, almost like it's having a seizure. For the meticulous drawings I draw in a completely different way.

Both techniques are impressive, but personally I prefer the instinctual stuff that is more like "gesture drawing" I think my art teachers would call it.

You've made great strides on the male form.  That last one is orgasmic :grin:
