Doesn't matter if you are a beginner, intermediate or even a professional. We all have days where we just forget or don't have the motivation to draw even though we know we probably should. Having a buddy system where there is someone else to motivate you and help you make progress together will ensure that you are not alone for any step of the way to getting better at drawing.

Rules
  1. Do not offer to be buddies if you can’t commit to the schedule agreed.
  2. Be respectful of everyone’s work.
  3. Constructive criticisms only.
  4. Put appropriate flares on your post.

How ArtBuddy Works

  • To look for an Artbuddy, first set your flair to 'Buddy Wanted' (Remembering to change it to Buddy Found once you got one). Then click on ''Find an Artbuddy' button at the top of the sidebar - Fill in the questions suggested and post your thread.
  • Make sure to be pro-active, going through the other 'Buddy Wanted' threads to see if any of those interests you and comment on them if it does.
  • There are also the IRC for those who wish to chat live with the other artists within the sub. It is a great place to get inspiration and critique straight away.

What sort of Art you ask?!

  • Art can take many forms and drawing is only one of them. We welcome artists of all different trades, ranging from wood carving to baking. If you are unsure whether or not your hobby is considered an art form, then feel free to contact the moderators for more information.
  • Although we are a sub which helps users find partners to motivate each other, we do
  • HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you show case your work here regularly or ask people for critique. This sub is a great opportunity for users to explore all sorts of different art form which they might never had a chance to try or know of, so by show casing your work, you will be promoting your hobby too!

Looking for aspiring concept artist, game artists, or regular degular animators!

Hey people! I'm You're pretty basic artist who enjoys painting more than anything and I decided I want to go back to learning concept art on the side. I work at a design studio as an animator but I do very simple stuff and I'm not that great and I just want to improve and every aspect! But I don't think I can do that without a friend. Concept art was my first and only dream and I'm trying to get over my art anxiety to improve and get better. I've been able to get some jobs painting murals and I think I'm starting to finally get over my imposter syndrome!

But I'm being serious when I say friend is so needed. Yes I could definitely meet up and find it any artist but I think there's something special about being on the same level as somebody and working towards the same period of goal or at least just supporting each other. I don't have many friends so I hope it's not a big deal when I say I'm looking for a friend first! There's got to be a couple hermits out there who could resonate with this lol

But yeah hit me up I am looking to learn anything from the fundamentals of drawing and painting, to getting better at compositing and product animation. But like we have to turn on something entertaining in the background while we hang out. I love to talk!

(These are some really old paintings I haven't done much character art recently! I hope I have gotten better)

Hey! what price should I put for such illustration?

Basically, I spend about 17-22 hours on illustration like this, so I don't know what price I can put. Can you help me?

Ok- I’m old and have no idea about navigating this app. But I need to know if anyone can identify this art. But I’m not sure how to post the pic. It’s general Washington in the woods with a company of soldiers. A buddy claims his mother-in law painted it…I’m not buying that bc it seems beyond her
