YCH Showcase - September 2024 by AlexanderPaupoff, journal
YCH Showcase - September 2024
YCH artists don't just create art; they ignite your imagination with boundless possibilities. With each stroke of their pencil or brush, they sketch a scene, a moment, a pose that invites you to envision your character within it. It's not merely a commission; it's a collaborative journey where you and the artist co-author an unforgettable experience for your character.
Welcome to this monthly feature where we spotlight the exceptional talents of YCH artists and their inspired creations. We invite you to immerse yourself in the imaginative worlds they've crafted for characters like yours. And, who knows? You might just discover a space for your own character to shine within their art!
Hello! I'm and I draw YCH inspired tarot cards from dragon age and dark fantasy theme. After a bad experience with companies, I decided to start posting my work on DeviantArt and have been working as a freelance artist for several years now. My advice - never give up!

Drawing a peacock's head, a tutorial
This month's theme is peacocks!
This tutorial, sponsored by Deviantart, will show you how to draw a peacock's handsome head!
The art here was done using Photoshop, with a hard brush, set on black, for the first outlines. These steps can also be done using a plain ol' pencil and paper! Further real media steps will be shown at the end of this journal.
