Traditional Art Week Here are 10 ideas to try to have more fun with color in your art! All the examples used are works by the members of the Deviant Art community. 1. Make your OWN color wheel. Use only primary red, yellow, and blue to create all the shades by color blending or using premade colors depending on your preference. Using your own medium to create your own reference will give you a realistic spectrum of the colors you have at your disposal. 2. Create contrast with complements. Opposites attract attention! Red/Green, Orange/Blue, Purple/Gold. There's a reason that complementary colors are often seen on logos, sports jerseys an

Traditional Art Week        In last Traditional Week, we talked about the elements which if you ignore can destroy your painting and all your hardwork. What Ruins A Painting?        Contrast and Values were one main element that either can make your works fruitful or ruin it. It needs to be discussed more broadly as a lot of new artists have trouble to establish a good tonal contrast. Result? Despite their brilliant artistic skills, the picture does not pop up! It looks dull, muted. That is not the fault of the drawing or skills, it's the lack of observation and understanding lights.        Contrast is the difference between two values

Hey guys! Just a quick weekend update! Here's a full chapter from the Getting Started With Digital Painting tutorial series

By the beginning of 2014 I started this account and uploaded a doodle a day during a year. It was the most challenging thing I ever did and it helped me loads on improving my art. I've seen a lot of mentions on my inbox about artists that are starting their own 365 Days challenge and I want to write this journal to share what I've learned through my experience and maybe encourage some of you to join this long term journey. :heart: It's okay to start simple! My first doodles were waaay more simple than the other ones. If I had to start the project again I would still do them simple. Of course, starting this challenge is very exciting but it

Hello! A small but lengthy conversation developed between myself and !Nat-Evans (https://www.deviantart.com/nat-evans). The topic was rich people, their success and points that were made by Sally as to why I'm wrong in admiring them. This is besides the point of this journal as I want to address something she said that I know is wrong. Sally said: "You succeeded in art and that's amazing, but art is one thing that even people in the getho can express. you're lucky to have innate talent and interest enough to compel you to do all the hard work it took to get this far, but not everyone is an artist! not everyone is so bullet proof as to not let their shitty situation take the b

As I said on a previous submission, I'm planning to make some tutorials on the upcoming December. Before that, however, I feel like I can help on another subject, which comes before even starting your drawing: Procrastination. I mean, procrastination towards your own drawings. If you're not familiar with this word: pro-cras-ti-na-tion |prəˌkrastəˈnāSHən, prō-|noun "the action of delaying or postponing something." Why am I talking about this? Well, a year ago I used to be a professional procrastinator. I've imposed the 365 Days of Doodles challenge to myself for this particular reason. While procrastina

Chaos is sometimes presented to us as a good thing, the youthful characters in movies and video games that we all want to be. To be more spontaneous, not to be strangled by our dull duties. Batman the Dark Knight stars a villain who is all about being a disorganized mess, seemingly relying on random luck and improvising rather than getting a plan going. In the end he falls, but I still don't think that the character was all that chaotic to begin with. Even the Joker planned his moves. His actions were surprising, but not utterly chaotic as we might be led to think. On the other hand an orderly routine is shown as being the sign of the borin
