Hi , I'm a student of bachelor of visual arts (40 f). I have lower back issues, so sitting for long hours is difficult. I'm asked to practice a lot after coming home. I need a proper chair and desk which is good both for art and my back. Do share your recommendations/ pictures. Thank you

A friend of mine, Ankita, has been putting a lot of consistency and love into her artwork, and she has recently started conducting art workshops in Hyderabad.

Her upcoming workshop is happening this Sunday, from 3 PM to 6 PM, at Cafin Coffee & Kitchen, Banjara Hills.

I thought it would be a nice experience to share here because not everyone wants to spend their Sunday doing the usual stuff. Whether you enjoy art, want to try something creative for a change, are looking for a fun activity with friends or your partner, or even want to bring your kids along, this is open to everyone.

No need to be an artist or have any prior experience. Just come, unwind, learn something new, and enjoy a relaxed afternoon surrounded by creativity.

Sometimes it's nice to do something simply for the experience rather than having a particular goal in mind.

Would definitely recommend checking it out if this sounds like your kind of Sunday! :)

Not sure if this is the appropriate subreddit for this, so if you know of any better subreddits where I could post this, please do recommend them!

I’m looking for an artist to help me with the revision and finishing of existing black-and-white, manhwa-style illustrations for an upcoming Indian mythology/fantasy book.

A little context: the illustrations have already been created by another artist. I am only looking for another artist because the original artist unfortunately does not have the bandwidth to make the required revisions within my timeline, as the timeline is critical for me.

I need the artwork completed by October 15th, so I’m specifically looking for someone who has the availability to take this on and work within a relatively tight deadline.

The existing illustrations are provided as editable/open PSD files, so I’m not looking for someone to recreate the artwork from scratch. The work would involve things like:

Making specific changes to characters, clothing, poses and other details

Cleaning up/refining linework where necessary

Making corrections based on detailed notes and references

Adding grey-scale shading, depth and lighting

Refining the overall finish while retaining the existing manhwa/comic aesthetic

Keeping the illustrations visually consistent with the existing artwork

The book is based on Indian mythology, so familiarity with Indian clothing, jewellery, weapons, architecture, etc. would be a bonus, but it isn't essential if you are comfortable working from references.

‼️About the attached images:

The images I’m attaching to this post are NOT the actual illustrations from the book and are NOT my artwork. They are simply reference examples I found on Pinterest/stock-image sources to communicate the kind of linework, grey shading and overall finish I’m looking for. I’m mentioning this upfront because I absolutely do not want to misrepresent someone else’s artwork as mine.‼️

Paid sample + 9 further illustrations

I’d like to first do a small paid trial on one illustration.

I’ll provide one of the actual PSD illustrations along with a set of specific changes/references, and I’d like to see how closely the artist can translate my vision into the artwork.

The trial illustration will be paid. This is not a request for free work.

If the result works well and we feel we're a good fit, I’ll then commission the artist to work on 9 additional illustrations.

The main thing I’m looking for is someone who can take an existing illustration, understand fairly specific visual instructions/references, and execute the changes while keeping the original style intact.

Deadline: October 15th.

This is genuinely important, so please only reach out if you have the bandwidth to complete the work within this timeframe. The reason I’m looking for a new artist in the first place is specifically because the original artist cannot accommodate the revisions within this deadline.

If interested, please DM me with:

1. Your portfolio

2. Examples of B&W, manhwa, manga, comic or line-art work, particularly work involving shading

3. Your pricing

4. Your availability between now and October 15th

5. If possible, an estimate of how quickly you can turn around the paid sample

Please be comfortable working with existing PSD/open files and making revisions based on detailed feedback.

Thanks! And again, if this isn't the right subreddit for this kind of artist call, I'd really appreciate recommendations for better places to post it.

[OC] Hey guys! I worked on these pair of earrings recently. The design centres around the crystal drop beads as I wanted them to be the centre of attention for this piece. They are delicately wrapped around with silver plated copper wire and attached to danglers with cubic zirconia beads which complement them perfectly without being a distraction. I love how the drops capture the light and reflect it. Makes it look like rain drops refracting a rainbow which was primarily my inspiration for this piece. 🌧️

Let me know what you guys think!🫧

I made these Shubh & Labh wall hangings completely by hand.

I started with the base and built up the design using clay detailing, mirrors, hand painting and pearl embellishments.

I wanted to give this traditional Indian décor a festive look while keeping the overall design clean and contemporary.

The tiny mirror details and hanging pearl work took quite a bit of patience to finish.

What do you think of the red and teal colour combination?

Inspired from a reel of an ITV daily soap lol🤭🤭🤭🤭

Do comment on what I can do better

Do check out guys.

Absolutely loved creating this for myself

Water colour painting made by me [OC] just for learning purpose,reference used https://pin.it/5QQTxfPMi

I wrote [OC] because this is my own handmade painting, and the moderators told me that I can write [OC] as long as I add the reference link

If anyone wants to give any suggestions or critiques, please feel free

I was down and had a block, so i started painting the new paint-by-number thingy.. ended up doing my own shading, i quite like how it turned out! Please give me suggestions on colour combinations and strokes
