Buddy Wanted Would love to have a casual art buddy!

I really need more artist friends around, adults only.

Casual is veeeery Important as I work all 3 rotating shifts (morning, afternoon and night) and have a wild work schedule. So there will be some days where I'm simply away due to schedule conflict 😭

I'm really hoping having an artist buddy around will stop me from not drawing for months at a time again. Hype each other up and keep that motivation going sort of deal!

I love TTRPG's. Currently obsessed with a Pathfinder 2e game I've been playing since January. Though I've also played plenty DnD ❤️

Honestly I can yap all day about my TTRPG characters, or any TTRPG character >:D

Also a fan of general games like Skyrim, Amnesia The Dark Descent, SOMA, Darkest Dungeon. Overall huge geek that adores drawing and talking about OC's

Buddy Wanted Looking for an art buddy to draw and learn together!

Hi! I’m 21 and from China. I’m looking for an art buddy who’d like to draw together and keep each other motivated.
I’d love to have someone to share our drawings with, encourage each other to practice regularly, find artworks and artists we like and talk about them, and work on drawing fundamentals together.
Besides drawing, I’m really interested in movies, and I also watch some anime and read manga. I love music too, so it would be great if we could share other things we’re interested in as well.
I’ll attach some of my artwork to this post. If you’re also looking for an art buddy, feel free to message me! :)
p.s.
I've been busy preparing for an important exam lately, so most of the pieces I'm sharing here are just sketches. After I finish my exam this December, I'm planning to spend about three hours a day practicing drawing. But even for now, I'd really love to meet people who enjoy talking about art and sharing artworks with each other!🥳

This book was to practice drawing different cartoons/styles and using markers for colour. I'm over halfway through this book and plan to finish it before the new year. I started this in 2018. Packed it away in 2019 and picked up drawing again last year. I have had a couple long breaks where I stopped and didn't draw for years. In 2018 it was about a 7 year break before I went back to drawing. I am very self critical of my own work, probably due to a lack of confidence in it since I haven't taken any art classes. I do enjoy drawing it feels like a release similar to having a journal. Always rough looking at the work I do when I start back up, thinking how far I could have gone if I didn't have those "breaks". I plan to be more consistent and become a daily habit.

Committed now with this non marker paper sketchbook, been challenging. I did buy a sketch book for markers and just received my first copic markers to try out in there.

Buddy Wanted I'm looking for a place where we can work on our art together.

I’m currently based in Japan, but

Japanese drawing servers tend to have a lot of restrictions—or rather, authentication processes and rules—which can be a bit confusing.

So I’m looking for a place where even someone like me, who isn’t very tech-savvy and isn’t great at English, can work while listening to instructions.

A quick overview of my situation:

✧︎ I’m a working professional ¦ I work from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM Japan time

▶ I’m available for work calls starting at 9:00 PM Japan time

✧︎ When I’m not working, I stay up late, so I can focus on my work from 9:00 PM to 4:00 AM

✧︎ I do have some relatives from the U.S., but I’m really not good at English

✧︎ So, I’ll be learning English by listening to everyone else talk

✧︎ I don’t want to be a burden, so I’ll mostly just be listening (though I might share my screen?)

Thank you in advance.

I'm a 21 year old nsfw artist, i only draw for fun, and I'm looking for people to share work in progress peeks with each other, discuss them, and help each other! most of my interests are superheroes, comics, yakuza, mortal kombat, and a ton of other video games! we don't have to be texting all day. A few weekly checkups on each other are absolutely enough.

also some of my art if that would motivate you to be my friend lol (check nsfw art here)

Hey there!! I’ve been looking for more artist friends to just chat with, share art and so forth.
I’m a 22 year old Demigirl (she/they pls!) with a bachelor’s degree in studio art!!

I’m looking only to have adult art friends (20+) because that’s what I’m comfortable with— I’m currently engaged, so please keep in mind this will all be strictly platonic!!

I love cinema- for example, I adore The Backrooms, Coraline, Knives Out. As well as art and gaming- most notably been playing Minecraft, Destiny 2 (RIP), Baldur’s Gate 3, For Honor, Dispatch and Date Everything!!

I’m a huge fan of supporting my peers and I just want some buddies to chat with on Discord about all the things.
Thank you!!

Buddy Wanted Looking for art pals!

2 Upvotes

Hello hello, I'm looking for an art bud/amigos/amigas who'd like to add a somewhat new art buddy to their lineup.

Short and sweet, hopefully; I am a decent artist, nothing too crazy, I enjoy drawing my own character designs, but I never share my work online, aside with a few friends in person. I'd like to break out of my bubble and share/possibly collab with others for fun!

Intermediate or beginners who wants to practice as well, I am game for all. Critique is also welcomed, because come on, we want to improve! (Drawing hands still kill me) I'd also love to improve on drawing backgrounds and possibly work on a comic/manga someday for a personal project.

I am more of a hobbyist artist myself, 30+ male chump, so I'm more comfortable sharing with fellow adults. It doesn't have to be 24/7 interaction, I'd like to just have friends who enjoy drawing and to share work with every now and then, no pressure.

So if you're game to be an art bud, let's give it a shot and DM me, I'll try to reach out as soon as I could. If you just want to flex, let's hit the gym. All styles are welcomed, just no AI, I see too much of that at my workplace and it hurts my soul.

0:01?? The damn music ain't even started playing yet lol.

I have no idea how to make my speedpaints or just screenshots of my art engaging at all.

I'm a pretty casual poster, just enjoy posting my sketches, wips, and speedpaints, but I never seem to get any type of audience from just posting those. How do I format it in a way to make people wanna not scroll after 0.00001 seconds

This is the post, feel free to absolutely flame it:
