This thread is for you to show off anything you've made. Literally anything: paintings, drawings, sketches, sculptures, clothing, designs, etc.
It'll be awesome to see everyone's artistic talents and give each other pointers or tips if we need them :D

I'll start, I love origami and my favorite models to fold are modular ones since you can so much with them. Below is a picture of an ongoing project of mine, cubes constructed by Sonobe units. I love the way they look and setting up colors for each cube is really fun.

The cubes look awesome!
I want to share my best attempt at mix media so far, i used water colors, color pencils, guache (dunno how to spell it), and dried pastels

I made this following a tutorial from Mark Crilley's YouTube channel

Woaaaaaah, this looks beautiful! The colors and shading on everything make everything just seem so lush. And that's a lot of mediums, I don't even own half that stuff haha. Good job!

I'm just a mix of artistic things, as I'm a photographer and digital artist IRL. I don't want to flood the post too heavily with all my stuff, but I'll share some of my favorite works. (Image heavy, I'm sorry. D:)

Thank you!!! I've been working mainly in traditional media since I can remember, and I tend to try working with anything I can get a hold of.

Mellori: those are some really pretty pictures you got there. How much patience do you need to have to be able to wait for that perfect opportunity?

I really like the amaterasu you drew there! Also, what kind of clay do you use?

Thanks. I use polymer clay, can't remember which specific brand I used for these, I usually pick up whichever one I see in arts & crafts stores.

I don't want to say I'm just lucky, but a lot of what I consider to by my best work I just took. I always keep my camera with me in case of opportunities for photos, and if I see something while I'm out and about I take a quick snap. A lot of times I'll rapid fire shots so that if a branch or light shaft is framed weirdly, I have options to pick from. There's not too much waiting involved unless I'm doing something very precise, like in these.

IMO, your papercraft models wouldn't lose merit because you were following directions (although I may be a bit biased seeing as I fold origami which isn't too different). I'd love to see your models if you'd be good with posting them :D

Welp, mine are mostly five-minute character sketch sessions because I rarely have the patience or skill to try and draw longer.
User Image
This one was for a streaming mascot at some point. Our theme was milk, so my friends asked me to create a pin-up style mascot girl, and so Mei-Mei chan (Milki) was born... this was my sketch sheet for her, but I never ended up making a finished version because the stream fell apart.
User Image
5-minute sketch piece. The theme was long, so I decided to do a ribbon girl.
User Image
Another 5-minute sketch, but I think from two years earlier.

A potential version for Mei-Mei

Have feeling like I had already posted it before on HLTB.. whatever. Made it on July / 2012. It was sooo long ago. Haven't drawn practically anything since that day.

No, I didn't use reference for this pose and yes, I'll finish it, but not now because I'm working in other works.

Thanks, man. I'm using Photoshop, I separate the sketch stages in different layers and I proceed refining the drawing in each stage.

Trying to learn digital art lately, drew my profile photo. Clearly I'm going to need more practice, but I didn't think it was too bad for a first time using both Paint Tool Sai and a tablet.
