@christieaton Yeah, I was curious about what Chalice asked too! Is it Andrew Peterson? It kind of sounds like something he might say.

@chalice I did do a little! I wish I would have gotten more done though. I’m trying to figure out the balance between being strict enough to get work done, and gracious enough to not get mad at myself for not meeting expectations.
Eeep!! I’m so excited for you. How many illustrations are you doing for the story? Do you know yet?

@christieaton Thank you Christine! xD I’m realizing now that I probably do overthink this scenario a little much.

@the-fledgling-artist, did you get any work done on the comic? Thank you for your prayers! ❤ I’m doing the illustrations with pencil, and then I’ll use acrylics to do the cover art.
@sageinthemeadow, thanks! Are you also working on a comic?
@christieaton, that’s a great idea. Deadlines and especially daily goals really help me in writing, and…[Read more]

@christieaton, It’s beautiful! I love foxes.😊 I like how the white line seem to add movement to the piece. I don’t know if I can offer any critique, but I’ll let you know if I think of anything.
Also, just curious, what is the quote in your signature from?

@christieaton Sadly I am unable to view, and therefore critique your most recent creation. I’ll bet it looks fantastical as always though. ^-^

@sageinthemeadow Eeep. It’s coming I guess, just really slowly. I might post an update soon on the original thread talking about what’s up.
Yay!! I’m so glad you were able to get some work on your WIP despite the recent roadblocks. *confetties*
@christieaton Really, that’s a fantastic idea! My problem is, I hate pantsing (as they call it) and I…[Read more]

Hey everyone,
I’ve been working on illustrating a book for a few months and I’ve come to realize that I really need accountability. I’ve gotten overwhelmed, procrastinated, and fallen behind on my goals too many times now. It’s sort of becoming a problem.
So, I have two out of twelve illustrations finished and am working on a sketch for the…[Read more]

@christieaton Really? Why do you think that is? Do you know of any other sites that seem more artist friendly?

@slisby @christieaton @chalice
Thanks guys! It was great to hear what you all had to say on the matter. I didn’t really have any specific questions, mostly just wanted a clue of what I’m getting into haha. -
Kay replied to the topic The Artists of SE in the forum Art Discussions 7 years, 11 months ago
Well okay. @christieaton I dabble in like a lot of types of art, but I mainly do simple sketches, watercolors, and calligraphy. Also I was thinking about what I could share, and realized that my favorite projects are things that I have made for friends, so I don’t have them anymore…XD lol Anyways here are a few of mine…

If you had asked me last year, or even two months ago if I was ever gonna get an Instagram for my art, then I would have said “nah”. But for the last while, I’ve been thinking about it off and on and I think it actually makes sense for me to start one now. 😮
So then, here are my questions!
First of all, is there any advice or wisdom you wish…[Read more] -

@christieaton Oh yes, wobbly line art is my nemesis!! I really should do some exercises of some sort.

The Fledgling Artist started the topic Could I get some Critique ? 🙂 in the forum Art Critique 7 years, 11 months ago
Not very experienced with digital art, but I impulsively decided to digitally color a (traditional) sketch I did last week. 🙂 Encouragement is great, but I’m mostly looking for things I could have done better at.

I’m just going to guess that if you’re in the art guild, you’ve probably shared your art with a friend, family member, or even a random stranger before.
One of the most common reactions I get from peers (who don’t really draw) is something along the lines of “Wow you’re so talented, I could never do that” or “Wow I’m so jealous of your talent!!”…[Read more]

@christieaton Aw, thanks! I’m happy with them.. I’m feeling super unexcited about the project again though. Not that I don’t love it, and where it’s going.. I just feel kinda exhausted if you know what I mean. I’m sorry you’ve been so busy, but also glad that you are working so hard on your school related projects. ^-^ Drawing other people’s c…[Read more]

Well… Last week’s goals didn’t really happen. I did figure out not one, but two character designs (or at least I have a good start on them.) So that’s something I guess. 🙂 I did spend a little bit of time on color palettes, but only enough time to figure out what I don’t like.
Here’s where I am at with my character designs.
