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.

I used alcohol markers by ohuhu, a permanent marker, acrylic paint, a napkin and my tears.

The tears definitely bring out the colors well. Good choice πŸ‘

I have those markers. Can you recommend a paper (apart from napkins) that's good for blending on? I got a marker specific paper from Michaels but it didn't work at all.

Also your drawing is great and in sorry you're feeling depressed. You've channeled it really well.

Did the 2nd and 4th tentacle appreciate this work as you were doing it?

And where exactly does a tentacle get its own tears from to paint with?
