What do you like about your art What dont you like Since there's already a thread about what aspects of our art we want to improve on, I thought it would be nice to just let ourselves analyze and profile our strengths and weaknesses. I think it helps a great deal when you just sit there and absorb your own work for a bit, you really learn a lot about yourself. Also list what your strengths/weaknesses are based off what others say about your work ! [b]My strengths:[/b] Plants/flowers design motifs and pattern drawing fluid motion work speed composition setting ambience constantly experimenting ball point pen [b]what others say:[/b] colour style [distinctive?x_x] creative... [b]Weaknesses:[/b] -colour -perspective -Realism -lack clean/polishe
Is my style hard to copy? :[ why is it different? I know this sounds weird but I'm kind of jealous how a lot of my art friends find people copying their style in random places. Of course I do understand that my style has to be appealing in the first place for a lot people to want to copy it in the first place. I mean I have seen some people try! But I can't tell they're copying me until I see their caption underneath their drawing LOLLLLL I'd also like to ask what makes my style distinct, it's kind of frustrating when people say 'oh, your stuff is unique' rather than 'you draw well' [because being unique doesn't necessarily mean it's quality so I can't take it as a compliment sometimes..] My gallery if you're wondering what my style is like
livestream session www.livestream.com/twinklefish I'm just streaming some pokemon drawing, my mic is on so feel free to talk to me!
Drawing and painting tutorials from outside sources So WorkOfArt made a nifty compilation of tutorials created by basilmarket users that can be seen here I decided to organize a bunch of tutorials and walk-throughs created by non-basil users that I thought would help artists of all levels. I do not take credit for any of these.

Do people still do art trades here? ;_; IDK I want to try an art trade after finals are over in 2 weeks lol. God why am I even thinking about this when I have to study. -_- As far as the basil community goes, I've done an art trade with tianyin year[s] ago haha.
Livestream session on lalala www.livestream.com/twinklefish I'm continuing what I was working on last night, my mic is on so feel free to stop by! 3/29/2013: ON
Livestream session! Non maple stuff >_> I've never livestreamed before so IDK what I'm doing D: I'm just going to work on some practice stuff and an artbook piece. finished/offline now! Final Image:;Expires=1309058303&Signature=t%2BHhWheAoW1rEFcXhXQn06VCT%2BE%3D I'm sorry it was offline for so long, it was my first time and I didn't know how to get it to broadcast on my channel. :[ I'm so sorry! Thank you to everyone that helped me set things up correctly. >_<
Comics vs Illustration, what do you prefer creating? I'm conflicted between devoting more time to my webcomics/newspaper comics v personal illustration works. Comics are more stressful and time consuming. (for me anyway) but when I get good feedback it's more fulfilling. There's also more audience interaction...also ..more...small job opportunities >___> Illustration is more personal and the feedback is generally more predictable. (once again disclaimer, this is just in my case) Out of curiosity, what do you all prefer drawing between the two categories? ;O
What type of art tutorial should I make? I haven't made a tutorial in a while, the I created in the past were colouring/CG walk throughs so for the sake of variety I'd rather not make another one. Suggestions? :O Here's my deviantart clearly I am not much help with realism LOL
Do any you draw webcomicsand can any of you crit me gtgt I recently started up on drawing comics again [newspaper strips don't count IMO because I get like a ..5 panel limit lmao] It's called 'lotus lullaby' ->www.lotuslullaby.smackjeeves.com I was just wondering, if any of you get interested in the comic enough to follow the story as I update, could I get critiques as the comic progresses? Not just nice things, I want constructive comments! Lol stuff like paneling and narration in general is still hard for me. T_T Also, my style gets pretty obscure and I want people to keep me in check so content isn't sacrificed for stylistic preference haha. And lol if any of you use smackjeeves please tell me how to edit pre-existing comic pages T_T(
Developing your own art style I keep on seeing a lot of people fret about developing his/her own style. Honestly, I think everyone already has a style, but fretting about it impedes development. o_o For one thing, it's okay to take influence from different artists, a style is never wholly original because influence is inevitable. You should be checking out other artist's work, it's how you learn. You can copy a style, and make it your own. Sounds wrong, right? Lol in art a lot of 'wrong' things are okay. My friend used to get a lot of criticism for drawing too similarly to a huge influence of his: He was down in the dumps for a while, but he continuously worked on his art and I can safely say that although there are still similarities, toon
Your favorite maps and monsters? I'm not up to date with maple so I was just wondering what are your favorite maps and monsters? I've been doing more environmental drawings and I usually use MS backgrounds for practice [DUN JUDGE ME >_>] I think I'm better at monsters and backgrounds than I am at drawing ..people to be quite honest.
