Follow @team for weekly art tips and monthly challenges from artists you love! This Wednesday we're featuring urban photographer @burningmonk. Longtime Deviant (18 whole years!), @burningmonk specializes in capturing the Tokyo metropolis. If you want to learn how to take photos like him, he made a whole resource of photography compositional tips as well as night photography tips! And don't forget, we also feature his answers on our official Facebook page. How and when did you get started in photography? When I came to Tokyo in 2008, I had a simple camera that I barely used. Over my first year in the city, I realized I needed motivation to go out and explore it deeply, so I bought a more ‘serious’ camera and it all grew from there.

Follow @team for weekly art tips and monthly challenges from artists you love! We have a special guest for this week's interview: artist Anthony Francisco @Ubermonster, Creative Director at Dolphin Entertainment and former Marvel Senior Visual Development Artist. You might be familiar with his work as the designer of baby Groot, Dora Milaje, Okoye, Nakia, and Thor: Ragnarok's Loki. @Ubermonster also expanded on this interview on Twitter Spaces! Be warned, the following interview will contain major spoilers for the MCU movies Thor: Ragnarok and Avengers: Infinity War. ​​Let's ask what everyone wants to know: you worked for Marvel for 9 years, tell us how you got that dream job. Before going to Marvel I had already been working in the industry for 12 years. I got in because I knew Charlie Wen, the co-head of visual development and designer of the on-screen Thor, and Marvel needed a creature designer for Guardians of the Galaxy. An art colleague of mine, Kevin Chen, recommended
