@christieaton  Ooh! I’ve actually been working on another piece! Slowly, albeit, but. . . yeah. I’m excited to share it once it’s finished! 😉

@the-fledgling-artist  Have you read the submission guidelines? It should help.

Actually @christieaton I’m a little confused about the submission process. For submitting artwork are you supposed to format the text like they tell you to for articles and stories? Or is it different?

Well it’s been a week since I originally posted, so I guess it’s time for me to update you guys on my progress.
Progress has been slow, but I did make a few breakthroughs early on in the week. I feel like I understand my characters and their motivations quite a bit better.…[Read more]

@christieaton No, don’t worry. Your response made sense. 😉

Hmm… Seems the tag didn’t work. @christieaton 🙂

@e-jo3 Hey, sorry it took me so long to reply. 🙂 I think overall I agree with what Slisby said. I think your foreshortening on the legs (while a really good attempt!) is a little off. Also the way the legs connect to the torso in general looks a little off to me.
I remember you mentioning that one of the reasons you dislike krita was because it…[Read more]

I don’t mean to challenge anyone or cause trouble, but I just keep thinking about what has been said and I feel like maybe I should say this.

@christieaton you mentioned that we shouldn’t have a legalistic mindset “of what is good and what is bad and expect everyone to follow that…”
It’s true that the Bible doesn’t give us a specific list or…[Read more]

@christieaton, Wow. Thank you for your brutal honesty! 🙂 Now you’ve got me excited about fan art!

I’ve though about it some more and here’s what I’ve come up with. Feel free to point out if I’m wrong.

If you think about, isn’t everything we draw fan art in some form? We draw what we love, what we are “fans” of, so to speak. If we struggle with…[Read more]

@christieaton Thank you for showing the other side of the argument Christi. Your thoughtful response is definitely causing me some TQE.  🙂 Maybe all of the above.  When I said ( I should ) be careful of what is drawn, I don’t think I meant that drawing villainous characters was wrong. I think what I meant was not to draw characters from so…[Read more]

@christieaton I posted on this thread some hours ago, and in forum catagories it shows that I did, but when I click on the post I don’t see it
?
I saw that it posted earlier but it’s gone now

@christieaton I would also want to thank you for introducing me to Andrew’s music. 😀 Some of his older stuff isn’t that amazing (to me) but “Always Good” “Is he worthy?” and “His heart beats” have been on repeat the last few days. 🙂 Always good and Is he worthy might be some of my favorite songs ever. (For now anyways haha)

@christieaton Hmm. Interesting. Is it worth investing our time in though? Maybe it’s different for different people. But we’re only on this earth for a very short time. And our mission (as followers of Jesus) is so urgent. In the past I’ve spent- wasted actually- more hours then I can count. On movies, games, and mindless browsing on social…[Read more]

@christieaton Thanks for showing us that last piece. I know it is good to show people the art you don’t think turned out well, but it is not something I do often (Actually.. I don’t show any of  my art often!).

@christieaton Thanks for sharing more of your work with us! I like them both, but the digital one is extra inspiring to me!! 😀  Digital art is really hard for me but it makes me want to practice some more. Hmm, what is a word sprint? Is that like a race?

@christieaton
I tentatively think that people simply get inspired by something that they see as good, or something that impresses them because they can recognize the skill and craftmenship in something, or maybe just simply the beauty of it.
Inspiration energizes the creator, or somehow moves them to create. I am not sure how that part w…[Read more]

@christieaton It took me awhile to notice anything to do differently besides stylistic preferences. Good job! How often do you do acrylic? Anyway, it seems the girl is standing on the horizon line, but that’s all.

Thank you @christieaton and @chalice I’m praying for you too. 🙂

When I draw or sketch, my inspiration comes very much from other artists. I enjoy learning from others, because I can see what my art COULD become. As far as painting— whenever I’m out in nature, I feel inspired to paint my surroundings, or my perspective if it. I love to be outdoors soaking up the scenery, and I always want to capture what I s…[Read more]
