@h-jones That’s such a sweet testimony! Thanks for sharing. It really encouraged me. I’m so blessed to hear of the sacrifice you made to love God, and how the Father graciously allowed you to continue enjoy drawing. I’m glad to hear of your commitment to draw to the glory of the Father. I know this message is pretty late, but welcome to the guild,…[Read more]

@chalice
Yay! I guess on the bright side of it going a little slow is that you have time to rest between illustrations.
I like your profile picture drawing 🙂

@sarah-inkdragon
I really like the cyan portrait! I also have Krita, and like it as well. I have not, however, used it much yet.

@ella-grace
I’ll be praying.

Matthew 6:34
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

@dee-g-blueshine
Hi there! We’re glad to have you with us. How long have you been drawing?

@ella-grace Ooh I see you updated your picture (still assuming you drew it) Good job on the side angle of her body! Yes, I did draw mine as well 🙂 . Honestly it is a little tough to describe but the best way I can is just say that its super smooth and glides across the paper so nicely; it feels light in your hand in comparison to a…[Read more]

@ncstokes Hi! Good question. I think Lin summed up the eye part really well. First off, the eyes you drew looked great to me! Especially how you drew the iris as being partially concealed by the eyelids. Drawing faces is something Eye’ve been working on a lot this past year (and I am, by no means, an expert yet either).

In my experience, whats…[Read more]

@ella-grace I don’t think I’ve met you before. Hello! I like your profile picture- did you draw it? 🙂

I got an amazing hardbound sketchbook that I have been enjoying immensely! I was ready to use something else after finishing that floppy one. I got journals and some ballpoint pens, too. I’ve actually been using the ballpoint pens for sketching,…[Read more]

@lin Yay! I’m glad you’re here 🙂 Welcome-again!  The art you posted is so beautiful!<3 How long did the animation take you?

@e-jo3 Thanks for showing! Looks great 😀 especially for not using a reference *claps*
I like how you used black behind him to really make the red pop! 

@ncstokes Welcome! 🙂 What planet are you from, then? I’m native 😉
@rebecca-w I’m looking forward to using gouache because of that! For more opacity and contrast, etc. I really need to get around to playing around with it soon.
@theclumsy_lamplighter 16 at the moment. I like drawing people for that same reason! The only thing is, I think I’ve got…[Read more]

@theclumsy_lamplighter Don’t be fooled. My sister here, @thefledgelingartist is a great singer. She plans on taking choir while in Bible School(of course, anyone can I guess.. but still..)

@rebecca-w Welcome to the guild! We’re glad to have you, and your unique love for fashion will only make things more interesting! You like watercolor and gouache together? I’ve been using watercolor for awhile and I really like it. I just got some gouache recently and I’m thinking about using them together. Any tips? 🙂 How long have you been…[Read more]

@eden-anderson I’m not bothered one bit, no worries!

@evelyn @lin Those are so beautiful!

@h-jones Thats so adorable, Heather! I love the pose 😀

@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]

@eden-anderson Aww its so sweet! I like how simple it looks 😀

@eden-anderson @the-fledgling-artist @kay @evelyn @chalice
I would be interested in joining! I’m not sure if I will commit to it yet for sure, but I will tell you I nearly finished my first painting based on a psalm… hehe..

@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]

@lin I’m surprised this was your first time critiquing, and I think you nailed it. 🙂
Actually I have been struggling with getting enough contrast in my watercolor pieces. Last month I contemplated if I should think about buying my first tube paints as those are usually much more vibrant and easier to get darker. I did get some gouache recently a…[Read more]
