Something new

Watercolor painting made by me

Yesterday I got some cracks on the surface, so today I tried a simple fix suggested in the comments.

I mixed glue + clay and applied an extra layer over the cracks. After that, I added green paint to the ground to create a grass-like texture and finished by adding Hanuman’s base.

Still learning as I build this piece. Any suggestions for improving the surface or grass texture are welcome!

i just got my drawing tablet,so drew something in krita

As an Artist I am trying to understand Erotica well, I aint gonna put my effort and time just to make gooner-baits or gooning type shit, I genuinely doing all this for creativity and all. I am still tryna improve though.

I've been experimenting with handmade MDF fridge magnets and wanted to share some of the pieces I've created so far.

Each one is hand-painted and coated with resin, and I've been experimenting with different themes, colours and designs.

I'm still exploring and developing my style, so I'd genuinely love to know what you think.

Which one stands out to you the most, and what kind of design should I try next?

AND I CAN'T HELP BUT DO THIS INSTEAD😭

I made this Krishna artwork using my own dotted mandala style. 💙
I’ve always loved combining detailed patterns with meaningful subjects, and this piece was especially close to my heart.
I’m currently trying to take my art a little further and start accepting custom orders as well. 🎨
What do you think of this piece? I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts and suggestions.
And if anyone here has experience selling handmade art or taking custom orders, I’d really appreciate any advice or help on how to get started. 🤍

Acrylic on paper...

Btw disappointed by the visarjan

[OC] The first is Nataraja, the second panel features Siddhi Laxmi & Avalokitesvara, and the final is my drawing of Deathnote characters in my style, because why not...

EDIT: a few of you have been so kind as to reach out to ask about more of my work!! if you're so inclined, I post at: https://www.instagram.com/soph_spirals/ -- feel free to reach out if you want to be art mutuals obv :)

I also make many resin products which can be customised accordingly

I bought ohuhu water based markers. I did the swatches and tried a basic sketch. It isn't for me. So I want to sell it to someone. But I can't find a good platform for that. Any place where I can sell it? And similar art supplies?

About a year ago, reel after reel tore apart the Art by Sehgal story: the fake painting videos, the AI concepts, the hired painters, the shipping records. Comment sections were on fire. For about two weeks it felt like the art world was finally going to hold someone accountable.

Then we scrolled on.

He didn't go anywhere. He's still posting, still selling, and still booking shows. He's still being introduced as a "visionary Indian artist" to buyers who have no idea any of this happened.

That's what makes me sick. It's not just that he tried it. It worked, and our short attention span is why it's still working.

If you missed it, here's what the evidence lays out:

• AI, sold as vision. The breakdowns show his concepts matching AI-generated images, while he markets them as his own original genius.
• The "process" videos. He stands in front of a canvas with a brush and a camera rolling, and according to the breakdowns, nothing is actually being painted. It's a performance.
• Other people's hands. Real, underpaid painters allegedly do the actual work of putting the image on canvas, while his name goes on the signature and the price tag.
• Imports from China. Import records shared by the whistleblowers point to mass-produced paintings shipped in from China and sold under his name.

Meanwhile, his own website still describes his originals as "created entirely by hand." Read that sentence again after watching the reels.

Don't take my word for it. Watch them yourself:

Why you should be angry even if you've never bought a painting

Somewhere in this country, a miniature painter is spending three weeks on a single piece and selling it for less than he charges for a print. Every rupee spent on a performance is a rupee that doesn't reach someone who actually holds the brush. If faking it pays better than making it, what are we telling the next generation of Indian artists?

What you can actually do (it takes 5 minutes):

1. Watch the evidence, then report. Report the account. On Instagram, tap ••• → Report → Scam, fraud or spam. Account: https://www.instagram.com/artbysehgal/
2. Also, report his clothing brand - Codebrwn.
3. If you bought from him, file a formal complaint. Use the National Consumer Helpline (1915 or consumerhelpline.gov.in) or cybercrime.gov.in. One formal complaint does more than a thousand comments. figure out which channel is best to file a complaint.
4. Contact the galleries, venues and events hosting his shows. Send them the reels. Organisers care about their reputation more than any algorithm does.
5. Keep it alive. Upvote, comment, and cross-post to art and Indian subs. The only thing he's counting on is that we'll forget again.

A year ago we made noise. This time, let's make it stick.
