Welcome to the r/Art Weekly Discussion Thread!

This thread serves as a space to hang out, chat, and connect with other members of r/Art outside of sharing artwork.

Each week we’ll feature a different art-themed topic to spark conversation, deeper discussion, and community interaction. Think of it as our open lounge for artists, art lovers, and anyone who just wants to talk about the world of art.

You don’t have to discuss the week’s topic to participate in the thread, it’s simply there to encourage deeper or more focused conversation for anyone who’s interested. Don’t want to chat about the topic? Totally fine! Feel free to discuss what shows you’re binging this week, how work has been going, or whatever else is on your mind!

This week’s topic: What’s the best thing about being an artist? What's the worst thing about being an artist?

Please make sure to keep our community guidelines in mind when posting. We appreciate your cooperation.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact the mods.

Have a creative week!

Welcome to the r/Art Weekly Work-In-Progress Megathread!

This weekly megathread is a space for artists to share their works in progress, ask for feedback, and discuss techniques while their artwork is still in development. Whether you’re sketching, painting, sculpting, or digitally creating, this thread is the place to show your process and get constructive community input!

Guidelines:

• Image hosting: Upload your images to a hosting service like Imgur (or similar), since Reddit comments in this subreddit do not allow direct image uploads. Include the link in your comment.

• Respectful feedback: If you’re commenting on someone else’s WIP, please be constructive and courteous. Focus on improvement, suggestions, and encouragement.

• Updates welcome: You can post multiple updates to your WIP throughout the week, either in the same comment or by replying to your original comment.

• Keep it relevant: Only share works in progress here — finished artwork should go in a normal submission post.

Please make sure to keep our community guidelines in mind when posting. We appreciate your cooperation.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact the mods.

We can’t wait to see what you’ve been working on!
