Constructive Commenting: Guiding Questions

May 31, 2016

Use your own brain by Nsio, journal

Use your own brain

Aug 8, 2016

I often get questions regarding drawing and art in general. And while I don't want to be mean, sometimes I wonder if people have problems thinking on their own. I feel like people want others to tell them what to do. Then I looked at myself and I realized I'm not really different from them. Since I work as an architect, I get to dabble with things like design and functionality all the time. Although I've been doing this job for quite a while, I still find myself asking what others want me to do rather than do what I want to do. In typical situation, the client has some ideas and wishes, which range from dull to extravagant. But it's not my

Simple art tricks, everyone can do by Miracat, journal

Simple art tricks, everyone can do

Oct 21, 2015

This is mostly a collection of things I´ve picked up somewhere (some quite recently) - not saying that I sticked to all of them, as I should… I´m going to add to this list (as I certainly forgot to add things I know and am going to learn new stuff), so if you´ve got more easy, useful tricks just comment and I´ll add them. Feel absolutely free to share this journal, so everyone can benefit from it. Many of you will know most of these tricks, I just collected them, for those, who don´t and as a reminder to myself. About where I picked these things up: They really come from various sources, most I´ve come ac

To lineart or not to lineart? That is the question by Yuuza, journal

To lineart or not to lineart? That is the question

Feb 15, 2015

So i've been seeing this opinion go around dA and that is that works without lineart are better than works with lineart? Well i've been on both sides of this subject and i have found that both are equally hard or easy to do. It kind of depends on style here rather than skill. If you want to draw with lineart then you require a set of skills, without lineart you need another. I think the reason why people see works with lineart as being inferior to the ones without is because when someone starts to draw something for the first time, they always, with no exception, use lineart. And as artists grow and become better, some stop using lineart,

Creativity aint wired

Feb 13, 2015

Creativity, where does it come from, where it goes? Most of the time people ask me how can i be more creative, how and i be more unique on my topics? Thats a hard question, imean daily life its were creation truly is, not online. Been talking with other friends ona tablet, talking about how their creative process works, acouple of beers, laughs, argues, intriguing, different point of views like all humans in all topics, but we all agreed that first, you need to think in the concept you want to do then search for reference tools, not the other way around. This days 99% of people use internet as their main inspiration tool, i think thats a do

Should You Become a Professional Artist? by leiyue, journal

Should You Become a Professional Artist?

Jan 11, 2015

Community Week Do you enjoy art passionately and are considering doing it as your job, but have some worries such as; :oops: Will I enjoy it as much as a job? :oops: Will it be hard getting a job? :oops: Will I become a starving artist? If you're like me, you're asking yourself those questions and are letting them give you a hard time deciding whether or not to pursue art professionally. My health teacher told me, as we digressed from our topic of smoking, that to know whether or not you want to do a job, you have to hear what it's like from someone who's already doing it. That's why I decided to do an interview wit

Make 2015 awesome! by DamaiMikaz, journal

Make 2015 awesome!

Jan 2, 2015

A new year started. So some words of inspiration for those that want to pursue art this year... :bulletblack: Don't worry about your age. Do not get discouraged by those that are younger than you and better. Some people start art when they are 6 years old and are prodigy's at age 16, others make a rather late or slow start. It doesn't matter if you're 10 or 80 years old. You're never too old to learn something new, and you're never too old to do something you enjoy. :bulletblack: Everybody has potential. Even the greatest masters in art started out as beginners. It just takes a lot of time and persistence. :bulletblack: Don't be afraid to
