This is why I need references, badly.
The most simple reason I need lots of references, as close to the picture I'm drawing as possible, especially in what they're wearing, is because I can't fold cloth in my brain. I love *drawing* folds of cloth, but they have to be right there. I can't look at a joint or imagine a puff of wind and know what any given fabric is going to do in that ( Read more... ) -
I'd like to eat your brains [references]
And suck out the knowledge of physical references you guys use to compose your pictures.
In the ref post, these are listed:
1. stock.xchng
2. characterdesigns.com
3. posespace.comBut what site do you use for SPN-specific references? Who does the best screencaps? Do you use the internet movie firearms database? Did you see that post that broke ( Read more... ) -

Painting and colors!
So, does everyone here have a technique they follow when painting? Most people do, I think. But what's gotten my attention lately as something I pretty much ignored before is the picking of colors.

MODPOST: Update & Bigbangs
Hi everyone! It's been a while since you heard from us (due to Real Life issues), and I won't deny the comm has hit a massive slump, but there is good news: Recently ideas have begun brewing again, and dollarchan , serenada_art & I are working on some plans to throw out a set of the old rules and re-start on a more pro-active basis, so expect to hear more about that ( Read more... ) -
Masterpost, oh my masterpost
So...what makes a good art masterpost? I've just looked at mine and it's sufficiently out of date that I might just revamp it entirely. As it stands, it's currently an almost chronological listing with the following general format ( Read more... ) -
anyone up for a challenge?
Artists! I'm thinking about doing a summer themed art challenge as a companion for spn_summergen , because I love summery pictures a lot. Would any of you have general interest in participating in such a thing? There'd be about 9 weeks of time from start to deadline if I put it on June 21th, but I'd probably move it a month, because of the BB. Or would you ( Read more... )
