Heres the deal. I have never attended any art class or been in anything related that would be instructive to how to improve my artistic ability. Instead, I am creating an experiment, where I am asking the wondering ones on DA for advise and critique, in just about everything I post. I will absorb your advise and reflect it in my later drawings. If I feel that the advise you have given was meaningful in my journey to eudaimonia, I will write a tidbit about ya down below as well as describe how you helped me!.
Ein helped me realize the importance of using enormous resolutions to work in and being able to fine tune detail using many of the photoshop tools.
Licheus once said, everyman is the architect to his own fortune. Okay, he didn't say that, but he introduced me to Open Canvas, and the great horrors of color theory. I have been using Open Canvas ever since I started and I really like it. Probably the most important thing he mentioned was that you never see pure color unless its reflected off a highlight, normally everything is inbetween the balance of the pure color, the grays, and black.
Ryuuen uh.. did something, I'll remember later..
nikki here, was very helpful to show me how to color in clothing that flows in and out, and how highlights and shading should effect the objects in general. Also introduced an interesting way to draw hands (which I still suck at lol)








I wonder why people try to steal art and claim themselves as the artist. I mean, false praise is meaningless.
(i'll have to check my note logs lol. I'm still super busy to give an appropriate resposnse)
And wow! lol I feel so acknowledged... Thanks for your kind words. I'm always here to help your needs with art, and no worries, you'll get better with the hand scenario with more practice!
