I never heard of oil based acrylics, how do they differ from oil paint?

Wowsa Littlegoldsnail, I love it!

I love the content and coloring, always really liked reflection paintings.

I'm not much of a painter but recently I sculpted a gecko. My first real attempt making anything out of clay but I think it's come out pretty well...

The next challenge will be to paint it.

My niece also got my a 3D pen for my birthday so I drew her dog for her

And also drew Mbezi the Zebra (and made it glow-in-the-dark) She lives on a wildlife reserve is South Africa that I visit regularly and am happy to say this piece will be coming with me on my next trip to be gifted to the owner of the reserve.

Those look amazing! I love the leopard gecko, he looks super realistic.

You're not much of a painter? Really? Not by the looks of it, I agree with LittleGoldSail, they look amazing!

Thanks, it had a few people convinced it was real for a second on a gecko group so am pretty pleased with it.

Thank you. I've always been terrified of putting paint to paper and ruining an image so tend to avoid paint if I can help it lol.

My drawing skills are mediocre at best, to be honest.

I knew a guy who was super talented at drawing.

He believed that anyone could become real good at drawing if they just practice a lot.

However, I think he's wrong. Unlike him, some people just don't have the talent that he had, myself included.

Idk why this happened, but I was bored so I drew The Mandalorian, lol. It’s not quite finished yet. Mando is a fun subject (lots of neat curves and shading to do). The sleeves are tricky though.

There is an element of truth to both sides I think. Yes, some people might be born a little more talented or have stronger interests in certain things, but it truly comes down to practice.

EVERYONE sucks without practice. And everyone can learn to be really good, but the way some people’s brains are wired might make it a little easier for some and harder for others.

A lot of it is your interests, someone who absolutely loves to draw will pay attention to details when they see a drawing, they will practice a lot, it’s something that spikes their interest. Now, someone who thinks drawing is cool and wants to do it, but it’s less wired into them, might have a harder time learning how to draw good because they have to teach themselves to pay attention.

So last week my niece asked me if I knew anyone who could do a black and white painting of her dog or if I was willing to paint one, I really don't like painting and find it pretty stressful but decided to give it a go seeing as it was going to be in black and white rather than having to worry about colours. I've been working on it solidly for about a week now, not quite finished yet but nearly there, I'm guessing a few more days...

I think my sister will want me to paint her parrot next lol.

I also finished the glow in the dark care bear I made for my friends birthday which I drew with my 3D pen then painted with glow pigment.
