A little message to those who are new to drawing. Most How to Draw books aren’t worth the money!

Most of the ones I’ve seen look like this:

Yeah, they show how they got from one to three but they don’t explain anything. They don’t explain anatomy or technique, just how to copy them to get the results they got. While you may learn a couple tips…[Read more]

XD

It’s totally fine. Discussion is good.

But thank you @mineralizedwritings for moving it to the Chat Chat.

@the_lost-journal

 I did copy the pose from the game though…so is that bad?

Of course not. You still drew the drawing yourself, and most the reason people need references is pose much of the time.

Thanks, and please do, anything!

Okay. I noticed in your picture that you made the sketch out of very short lines. This is often called ‘chicken sc…[Read more]

Wow, I was not expecting to get 25 notifs, all but two from this forum, when I logged on this morning. I’m glad everyone’s having fun 🙂

@the_lost-journal

Of course you can use references!!!! I know you already posted your art, but I wanted to let you know this for the future. I’ve heard online many times people saying that “true” artists don’t…[Read more]

Credit to my older brother for suggesting drawing the little veins in the rabbit’s eye XD

Here it is!

@whalekeeper

Wow! That’s cool, I like it! The olive green really brings out the red

@elishavet-pidyon @highscribeofaetherium @keilah-h

I drew the card. If I can, without Ezra seeing it, I’ll try to scan it into the computer and post it before his birthday.

Hopefully he likes it. My family thinks it’s great XD

@grcr @whalekeeper

Everywhere I’ve seen this challenge, black and white don’t count as part of your three colors. I assume the reason is that black, white and grey are neutral colors and this challenge is meant to help understand color theory and how colors interact with each other.

@keilah-h

hmmmmm…now what should I draw…..?

A cat…[Read more]

it is so not a perfect square

So I got bored this morning and just decided to do my artwork for the challenge now. I might do another one later

I use a white pencil to try and do the ripples, and I outlined everything in black. Otherwise, everything was made up from the three colors I have to the side there. It came out better than I expected, and I’m pretty happy with it 🙂

Oh, I also will be participating in this challenge

@keilah-h @whalekeeper @highscribeofaetherium @the_lost-journal @grcr

@grcr

Rax looks AMAZING🤩🤩🤩 girl, you are sooooo talented

@the_lost-journal

Of course you can join! Anyone can if they want!

Found this on Pinterest.

My little brother is turning 13 on Saturday, and I’m making his birthday card. I was going through some pics I have saved, and he thought this was funny (he doesn’t know I’m doing his card) so I’m thinking on drawing this with the caption “Still not convinced that you’re 13” Does that seem like a good idea or should I scrap it?

@mineralizedwritings

np!

Will do

@whalekeeper @ellette-giselle @grcr @keilah-h @mineralizedwritings @loopylin @anyone-else

So I just got an idea. Recently I’ve been enjoying doing some art challenges to help me grow in some weak points in my art, and was wondering if we could do an art challenge together each week or two. Anyone interesting?

If people are, I’ll create a…[Read more]

I was slightly sad that I didn’t make much effect (though what was I expecting when the writing for this final story was sub-par). i was hoping that the story would hit even if the writing didn’t, but I’m quite content after reading your last comment.

I will rewrite this story later, and then I hope it hits harder.

For now, I’m…[Read more]
