@christieaton thank you!! I’m so glad to be here!!

@the-fledgling-artist

thats so cool! What’s it like to have sisters? Also who’s older?

@sageinthemeadow It’s so pretty! I like how de-saturated and soft it feels
@slisby Better late than never! Your bird looks great! Do you draw them often? 🙂
@christieaton We could do a challenge where we use an art supply we are not comfortable with/dislike, or do a cheap art supply challenge, or if people were up for it we could make a picture in…[Read more]

@christieaton Okay, here’s what I came up with. ^-^

1. Everyone could pick a classical piece of artwork and try to recreate it.
2. Landscape challenge.
3. We could all follow the same character design prompts and see what everyone else comes up with. (Personally this is my favorite just ’cause I personally have an interest in character design,…[Read more]

@the-fledgling-artist

I have no dogs or cats, but I do have a pet snake. I love snakes.

@christieaton

Sounds cool!

@christieaton Yay! Thanks! This was super fun! If you ever want any challenge ideas I could probably come up with a few. ^-^

@christieaton

Ooh copic markers! I’ve never had the opportunity to use them but I’ve heard they are nice.

Do you do portraits of people you know or characters?

@christieaton

Depends on the kind of art. I view fashion as art, and that is what I am going to college for, so I am very serious about that.

I get paid to teach art (and fashion, but I’m talking about painting drawing type right now), so that is a kind of serious.

I would say mostly serious, though I do not intend to make a living selling…[Read more]

@christieaton

Thank you!

I’ll try to share mostly typical art but maybe the occasional bit of fashion art here then.

@christieaton  I’m not sure where else to put this, but I was wondering if we were allowed to create a topic to show people their art (like a gallery. e.g. “Dekreel’s Artwork”). That way people can see it, and maybe be able to critique them later. Could we do it? Or should we just use the critiquing topic? Also, if we can do it, can we put it in t…[Read more]

Hi! I’m new here. My name is Rebecca.

I’m a fashion design student. I also like to draw, paint, write, learn (or just work with or make up) weird languages, walking around in the woods, plants, and daydreaming.

Here is a map (I like to make fantasy maps) I made of Middle Earth.

Does fashion count as art here?

This is a sea monster/ pirate/…[Read more]

@chalice @christieaton
It just occured to me that if you wanted to see some of my art I just posted a whole lot of art on the thread “Greetings from across the ocean!” started by Lin on page 5. Or you can see it through “my activity” on my profile, too because it happened so recently.
If you really wanna start hunting things down, I posted some a…[Read more]

@christieaton Haha, I’m not surprised!! Since we live together, and see so much of each other’s art, it only makes sense that we would pick a few things up from each other. My sisters inspire me a ton.

@christieaton Thank-you! I had to laugh because I never thought about our art as being similar, but I think you’re on to something. was able to see the picture you uploaded so now I’m wondering, Did you only use two markers?? I smiled at the blue colorblock behind her because I do them sometimes as well and I find them quite appealing. Although o…[Read more]

@the-fledgling-artist, I’ve actually heard that they’re really nice for small details like hair, etc. Or erasing colored pencil.

@christieaton, Oh, yes! kneaded erasers are amazing!

Alright, here’s my update on the illustrations. My sketch for chapter four was approved and I’m almost finished with the final drawing, just a little more touching…[Read more]

@chalice That is so gorgeous!!!
@christieaton You know the drill, I can’t see it yet; when I can I’m sure it will be beautiful, too. 🙂

@christieaton Oh wow, you’re right! I didn’t even think about that! I wonder what my first piece for 2019 will be…
@chalice Thanks! I like the color you picked as well! I’m still amazed by how realistically you can draw… 😮

@christieaton @the-fledgling-artist, Here’s mine. I did it with a purple ballpoint pen, but it looks more bluish here for some reason. XP

@the-fledgling-artist, Ooh, I like yours. That color of blue is one of my favorites. 🙂  I like the puppy too.

@christieaton, Nice! That looks awesome. Did you have a picture you based that off of?

@christieaton Yay! I’m sure you’ll do great! 😀

Alright here is mine! This was really hard for me, and I actually had to start over partway through. I’m so glad I pushed myself to finish though. ^-^ Thanks for pushing me out of my comfort zone @christieaton !

(I wanted to show you my failed attempt first.. See, everyone makes art they hate! I promise it’s not just you haha…. *dies*)
