Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

More honestly though.

Referencing makes a lot of sense with helping improve ‘art’. Think of When you practice in art class the warmups they give where you draw a picture. I think the most informative critique is when there is a reference to compare to.

You're a good artist. What really caught my eye was exactly how spot on your duck drawing was to my non-professional eye.

I hope you keep at it.

EDIT: I just reread your comment. I don't mean to make it sound like recreating other people's art is the problem. Of course practice is important and existing stuff makes a comparison easier, I'm 100% in agreement with you. Please don't stop. But i think it's also easy for someone to have seen your art and assumed it was original. This is a place where showing off original work is accepted and "practice" doesn't indicate originality one way or the other.
