Hi all, sorry I've been so quiet. I've been ill for a few days, about 60% now. Tomorrow I will update the Community Project. October will be "The War on Beauty". Thank you for the beautiful artwork and energy again this month. Thank you to our moderators for holding down the fort. I have some exciting new plans for this month, such as regular livestreams. Let's continue the fight the restore beauty in our world. We are needed now more than ever.Thank you.✍️🙏

I fell in love with ballpoint pen many years ago. I'm happy to see so many others who enjoy ballpoint. This thread is for: - your current and/or favorite ballpoint pen - new pen you discovered or want to try *Ballpoint only please. Not general pens or pen and ink tools.🖊️ **artwork by Nicolas Sanchez

I finally get to paint again. At least I am forcing myself too :) Getting ready for this upcoming oil painting class in Bangkok has forced to make demos. I feel very blessed. To be honest, I stopped painting for months because I needed to focus on getting this group and Draw With Chris running again. People who get to paint full time are the most blessed people in the world. Don't take your painting (or art time) for granted. It is truly a privilege and a luxury that you will miss if ever taken away. Ivory black and Titanium white on linen. The bust is a genuine Italian import 😎 (my Thai Biz parnter's collection).

Hello! I thought I’d share my Pinterest page here for other people. I use this a lot for inspiration or reference and maybe some of you will find it useful as well! https://pin.it/7HRmEUgm4 (I think I’ve managed to keep AI images out of here but it can be sneaky, so there may be some slop that slipped through the cracks.)

I did this portrait today but I feel something feels off, especially on the face structure. can someone recommend a face structure study or video?
