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!

Mural ideas?

Hi, I work in a self contained wing of a school for students with severe behavioral struggles. We have lots of empty bulletin boards and I want to brighten the place up with some murals, but I’m not very artsy. I was thinking social emotional quote sort of things, but open to ideas too. My first question is mainly about this:

I want to write something like “1 bad minute does not define your day” and then draw out the 1440 minutes in a day with only one of them red and the rest green or some other positive color. Or maybe do 5 minutes instead of one. But is there a way that would look better than just doing tally marks for the minutes?

I am incabale of finishing my digital paintings.

I need criticism, someone to tell me where to focus on and when to move on, I have a 3 piece series that I've been working on for soon to be 5 years. I'm not a proffesional, I use mixed media (as in, I make 3d scenes as templates and then use them as guide - not rotorscoping, tried it but it looked like shit) and I'm incabable of finishing any of them.. If someone would take the time to look at them in a DM or something I'd much apprieciate it, I'm proud of the line art ive got done but I keep coming back and never moving on or finishing - its driving me nuts.

Beginner art

Hey so I started my first art drawing on Jan 5th 2025 and this is my most recent work inspired (and slightly traced) by another photo. I’m struggling so much with hair and proportions. I just can’t see what’s wrong with it but it looks wrong near the nose and eye part. I think I also inverted it by accident oops!
