@mariposa Well this made my day 🙂

@lillian-parks03 Don’t be afraid to use reference photos. Look at pictures of people. Go on Pinterest, you can find tons of people to draw. If you really study faces you’ll be able to better pinpoint what you are doing wrong. I know a lot of beginner artists can be scared to use references but even professionals use it. Trust me, it’s not “…[Read more]

@mariposa This is the epitome of good literature.

Thought I’d share this here. This is what I finished tonight. I wanted to really work on some detail in backgrounds. All in all, I’m pretty pleased despite my perfectionist mind telling me I could do so much better.

@the-fledgling-artist What program are you using?

@the-fledgling-artist This is cool! My suggestion for this piece would be to make the facial features (eyes, nose) especially the eyes, stand out a bit more. I think that would really strengthen this drawing.

@the-fledgling-artist ohh, I really like this. It’s clear you are paying careful attention to observation and how the object works, like the mason jar holding the flowers for example. I really like that. Also the girl on the bottom is just adorable! Great work! Thanks for sharing.

@sageinthemeadow Thank you! Seeing everyone’s unique style is one of my favorite things about art.

@h-jones Hahaha, it’s a good show, I kind of really love it. Also, I love that Breath of the Wild Zelda is your profile pic. It’s a good game. My brother plays it, so I mostly watch it, but it’s cool.

@itisastarrynight I use the app called Procreate and I absolutely love it. I have it on my iPad with the Apple pencil. It’s user-friendly and you can take it on the go. It also comes highly recommended by a lot of professional artists. I have been loving drawing digitally.

@the-fledgling-artist

I’m working on trying to draw my characters more, mainly because a passion project of mine (which I haven’t started on yet) is to create a graphic novel. So that’s something I want to work on. So while I draw them, I don’t draw them often enough.

Honestly, the past week has been an exception for me because I used to very…[Read more]

@the-fledgling-artist Nice! I’m sure I’m not that much more experienced than you are, honestly. And if you have any more questions feel free to ask, I’m happy to answer.

@the-fledgling-artist I’m glad you like it. I’ve had my digital art program for about two weeks now so all of those pieces are just me trying to figure it all out. (I still have a lot to learn)

So, basically, I can’t remember a time where I wasn’t drawing. But I’ve only been taking my art seriously for about the past two years. Especially in the…[Read more]

@snapper Yeah I have an unashamed love for that show. (I’m mean I’m drawing fan art for it, and I used to never draw fan art, soooo… that says something)

@ethryndal Yes! Ink can be so addicting. I love this piece!

@the-fledgling-artist Thanks. You need to post some of your art on here!

@thetessinator I’ve also just gotten into them over the past few months so I can’t offer that many recommendations because I haven’t read a ton yet.

@thetessinator Honestly, I some recommendations, but it depends on how clean you need it to be. I know everyone is different on what they can and can’t handle.  So what are your guidelines and what you are okay with because then I can narrow down my recommendations for you.

One that I liked that is squeaky clean (as far as I can remember) is…[Read more]

So even though I have to put the no fanart in the guidelines for actual submissions, I’m actually one who really loves fan art and how good it can be to help your artistry skills, so I thought I’d just throw some of my recent fan art on here 🙂 (If you have any questions on that let’s talk) (These pieces and a couple others are also on Pinterest…[Read more]
