This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨

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.

It's my cake day, so I thought I should post something. I just completed this yesterday.

It's about 11 x 17" or around 28 x 43 cm

Sorry about the lousy photo quality, my phone/camera is not the greatest.

Hope you like it!

Did you use one of those pentel Japanese brush pens?

No, I'm not a fan of those, actually. The brush fibers are way too limp, so I feel like I have no control like I'm drawing with a wet noodle.

EDIT: Actually, I'm not sure. I thought you were talking about one of these, which are just terrible.

Here's what I used (tried to get detail of the brush fibers and name). I get them from a local art store. Maybe they are a cheap knock off of a Pentel or something, I can't find them online.

The brush fibers are really stiff and nice, but the ink quality is not great, so I will probably move on, honestly. I'd love to know if you have any experience/opinions about any of them.
