It would be cool if there was a community dedicated to helping people get better at making visual art, e.g. art education, learning, advice requests, feedback, etc.

Is there anything like this already? I had a search around and couldn’t see anything much. There is !arttutorials@lemmy.world, but it’s fairly dead, and doesn’t cover lots of the things above.

If there isn’t already something like that, would people be keen for it?

    I post daily how-tos and tutorials for different crafts on !Art_Alchemist_Guild@lemmy.today

    It’s for sharing art, tools, resources and supplies, too. This summer has a low key leatherworking challenge where I’ve been posting leather projects and instructions. I’m going to shift to painting and drawing for September/Inktober.

      Cool! Subscribed. But I think that comm has a specific tone to it, so perhaps not as general as I’d want.

        It’s mostly me posting, so I’m open to suggestions if there’s something you want to see more of.

          Nothing in particular, I was just referring to the “this is a dark place” thing in the side-bar. I think that excludes a fair bit of art (which is fine, to be clear)

            It does have a vibe, but that full quote is meant to be more of a humorous aside than a guide. The posts are a better gage for what belongs, which is almost anything art related.

          For now it is mainly me posting whatever I fold. I have some games planed for the future when there’s some more activity.
