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 love this. I can see the fingermarks on the page, distinctive to charcoal and pastel, which adds a sort-of spookiness, an ethereality. I want to say the form of the man's head and chair were index finger marks. The eraser mark in front of the man and the sort of aura above and behind him adds to this ghostliness.

I see a man in his chair either looking at a monitor/tv light or out his window. The composition has him literally boxed in, the space feels claustrophobic. It's like someone cut a hole in his roof and we're looking down on him, or over his shoulder. Is that single ray of light his hope or his warden, his keeper?

It's a mood.
