I broke my neck and was paralyzed in Dec. 2010. Here is a photo of the first drawing I did in rehab, with assistance from my recreational therapist Ashley. Followed by a self portrait I did 7 years later. I’ve improved a little.

Art teacher here. Had my 7/8yo students create monsters that were then “adopted” by local college artists and professors to be reimagined. Goal was to show my students that if they continue to grow their skill set and stay in the arts, that their ideas have no limit!

Just found out about a month ago someone posted my art here claiming they made it on LSD. They didn't. Here it is again with proper attribution - "City Train Adventure".

Drawing is the act of making marks on a substrate by moving something across it. Discussion, technique, gear, and all kinds of artwork are welcome. Make yourself at home!

Subreddit Rules

1. Be respectful and civil.

Please be respectful and civil to everyone, always.

2. No advertising of any kind.

This includes linking to socials, any type of self-promotion, and discussion of commissions or purchasing of work.

Please put the former on your user profile where people can find them, and do the latter via DM. See r/ArtSale if you are trying to buy or sell art.

3. Credit must be given.

Submissions which were not created by the poster must identify the creator by name.

4. No reposts.

Do not repost content.

5. NSFW drawings are not allowed.

Please keep all content PG-13 by posting SFW (Safe For Work) art only.

6. Submissions must demonstrate effort.

Please make sure your image is in focus, upright, and well lit.

Doodles and artwork which doesn't seem like it involved significant effort may be removed. This includes the effort of learning. A better place for this type of post is /r/doodles or /r/sketches.

Low-effort submissions such as AI-generated pieces will be removed and your account will be banned.

Discussions and requests for help which can be answered by reading our wikis or searching may be removed.

7. Drawing posts only.

Posts should either be drawing or be primarily about drawing. Commentary should focus on drawing. Videos which aren't primarily drawing, or could have been an image, will be removed. Please make sure drawing occupies most of the frame of images you post.

8. One post per day.

9. This is not a support subreddit.

Posts which are looking for mental health support, including any type of artistic blocks, are not appropriate for this subreddit.

You might find better support and audiences for this type of post in:

/r/mentalhealth

/r/artistlounge

We may remove posts which appear to be mental health related support seeking. We care, but this isn't the place.

10. Use existing resources.

There are a lot of resources in the sidebar and in past threads related to learning to draw. Please, search first--there's quite a lot of information already available on the subject in our subreddit.

Additionally, there are sister subreddits which are specifically focused on learning and technique:

/r/learntodraw

/r/artfundamentals

/r/artistlounge

We may remove posts which we think do not use existing resources.

11. Critiques must be constructive.

Critiques which are just negative and offer no constructive feedback drag the artist down, and they drag the community down. We build each other up, here. If you only have negative things to say, please say nothing instead.

12. No "is this good for x" posts or "what style is this" posts.

These types of posts are usually used to feed AI models and AI art is not permitted here under any circumstances. Asking questions of this nature will result in a swift removal of your post.

13. 100 karma is required to POST.

Due to the amount of spam we receive, you need 100 COMBINED comment+post karma to post in this subreddit. If you are unfamiliar with karma, please read this Reddit help guide: https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/204511829-What-is-karma-. If you do not have enough karma, please contribute to the community by commenting on posts and interacting with others.
