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?
Make a left-hand path art comm? I wouldn’t have much to add right now, but I’d join.
Oh, yes, I’ve been considering doing this for a while. However, the platform I use (Misskey) to interact with the threadiverse (Lemmy, PieFed, MBin, etc) is not a threadiverse platform; while this specific Misskey fork (Catodon) has been implementing more native support for Lemmy, including creation of communities, this specific feature is still in beta and it’s seemingly meant to be available only to the admins of an instance.
So I’ve been mostly waiting for Catodon’s community creation features to become more stable and then, if community creation remains an admin-only feature, proceeding to self-host a single-user Catodon instance myself, because I like having, through a single platform (“One ring to rule 'em all”), both the threadiverse features and the personal microblogging feed I’m used to use a lot, as well as certain Misskey-native features.
For now, my approach have been using the personal microblogging feed especially for (but definitely not limited to) potentially NSFW content (which, in such case, is mostly psychological horror art, sometimes non-erotic nudity given how my art often involves/revolves around Lilith) and, to a less frequent extent, this Art Share community, in this case limited for SFW content.
