@the-fledgling-artist thanks for tagging me. That’s so sad to be honest. I really like how we have a little place for Christian artists here. I understand it though. You can’t do everything. Let’s hope the guild will stay on a little longer.

@ashira Those are beautiful! The horse is so realistic. That’s pretty impressive when using acrylics. I love all of them! Do you paint on canvas boards?

@ashira hi there! Great to have you here. Can’t wait to see your art! 🙂

@slisby @the-fledgling-artist *sneaks in* Did someone say… oils? But yes I do! watermixable oils to be excact. Because I greatly dislike using harmfull solvents. I was scared to try them too. But I think they’re one of the easiest mediums. They’re like acrylics but oils actually allow you to take your time and blend as much as you like. And the…[Read more]

@the-fledgling-artist That’s a lot! They look great <3

I’ve currently got 59 done 🙂

@selah-chelyah O thank you so much Selah! I’ll check it out 🙂

@northerner I agree, anything written in the time period you’re researching is always the best!

*sneaks in* hi there! I’ve been stalking this thread for a while as I really want to start writing historical fiction! I used to write fantasy but I haven’t actually read a fantasy book in months (probably even years, I’m not even sure). I do read a lot of historical fiction! Some of my favorite writers are Bodie Thoene (her husband is a histo…[Read more]

@slisby They look great!!

@the-fledgling-artist woops, gotta warn ya. I tried the gesture drawing thing and selected clothing but it still showed a woman with extreme see-through clothes. So if you use the site, keep that in mind.

However, I finished 22 gesture drawings today!

@the-fledgling-artist For everyone doing gestures, this might come in handy! You can select clothed models and choose between male or female or both. There’s even a timer so you don’t get lost in the details too much.

@ericawordsmith By the way, I really liked your blogpost about female characters and the difference between characters like Rey and Arwen. We definitely need more feminine heroines!

@the-fledgling-artist That’s a looooooooooot of drawings…

*slams hand on table* I’m in!

I think I’ll do 500 instead of thousand though. That would be way too much for me haha. I’ll be focusing on gesture drawing and anatomy. Both for humans and animals. Sounds fun!

@daeus-lamb For me it’s something I wouldn’t dare to do. But I agree with you on the scripture point. If we were to write God in a story we have to stay close to His word. 😊

@ericawordsmith I guess that’s why I felt a little stuck writing fantasy. I still enjoy the genre! And The Chronicles of Narnia will ever remain one of my favorite book serie…[Read more]

@the-fledgling-artist I agree. Sometimes we have to make hard choices but after all it’s all for His glory.

@daeus-lamb I’m not necessary thinking of idolatry. Though that could be a problem too. I’m more concerned about if we should portray God in a made up world at all. Like Ashira said, to me that would be dangerous ground to walk on. This…[Read more]

@sarah-inkdragon It kind of depends on what her role is in the story. I think she sounds pretty fun! But if you want her to be more feminine I think the list that Fledge send is pretty helpfull! Maybe try to give her a bit of a soft side. She might not like dressing up, but maybe she will smile slightly if someone calles her beautiful. What is the…[Read more]

@april-j-rhys I have Deviantart! But I must admit that I barely use it anymore. Here’s a link to mine: https://www.deviantart.com/linsketches

I mostly draw cute stuff. Girls, animals, portraits. Both realistic and in my own style.

Just gave you a watch. Your style is pretty cool!! 🙂

@evelyn @eden-anderson thanks!!

@the-fledgling-artist Welcome back Fledge! How was it?

@corine Ha! dankjewel! 🙂
