Starters From my collections! Main Course Watchers feature Dessert Featuring art from friendly suggestions. You can participate by sharing art in the comments (see down below) Luala needs you SHARE ART NOW I'm always taking suggestions for the "friendly feature" section. /!\ I need A LOT of suggestions. /!\ Share as much as you want, but for each piece you share from your own gallery, please balance it with a piece from someone else: from your favs or from your friends' galleries. Try to suggest art from active deviants (active within the last month), max 999 favs. Keep in mind these are suggestions and I will pick those I like. So, don't hesitate sharing a lot! The more I have, the better looking features I will make. Some things I will most likelly not select: intrusive watermarks

Feature week 3, 2026

2 days ago

Happy Tuesday I hope you all had a wonderful start to the new year. I started the new year with two VERY lazy weeks. I spent most of my time lying on the couch watching Netflix and completely shutting out the world. Lately I've been struggling with exhaustion and a fatigue that has completely knocked me out, but now it's time to pull myself together and be more productive and start my weekly features again. So.. here are some of the wonderful artwork I've found here lately. And as always I want to thank you all so much for lovely comments, badges, favs and amazing support. I wish you all a lovely week. Stay safe

Dec 10, 2024

I guess in the current world flooded with AI it's important to reach out a helping hand to other real artists. So I decided to share as many resources as I can and I hope some can find that interesting/important/useful! I'll make sure to update this periodically and keep it all "topic accurate" (as a specific sections so everybody can find something for themselves! Most of them are free to use! If you know any useful sites then feel free to share! USEFUL TOOLS FOR WRITING! Thesaurus | Synonyms and Antonyms of Words - I think this one doesn't need introduction, haha!

How to draw Minty The Garden Dragon!

Jul 1, 2024

The theme for this month is Garden Dragons! 🌱 For this tutorial I will be featuring Minty The Mint Dragon as one of my favorite Garden Dragons to draw! Follow the steps and create your own artwork! Post your drawing on DeviantArt with the tag #GardenDragonTutorial and get a Profile badge! I mainly sketch my work in Painter SAI2. A lot of my color work is done in Corel Painter using the "Mona Lisa" brush. :bulletgreen: What is a Garden Dragon? A garden dragon is a plant-like dragon that lives in a garden pot. I originally called them "Bonsai Dragons." I have evolved them since the first creation of Bonsai Dragon and have made several different variations of them like Minty Dragon. :bulletgreen: Why this art style? I love to read and make comics of my own and have developed this cute art style to fit my very own comic that I run called Lucky Dragon and Friends. I post this comic regularly here on DeviantArt as well as on WebToon. Some of the recent episodes of my comic

Resources For Artists: Colour Scheme Tools

Jan 4, 2013

Colour Scheme Tools So I have been thinking of doing a few articles apart from feature articles to link some useful resources for artists and this is the first one of these. While this is a mini one, it's helped me a lot on several occassions.Sometimes it gets confusing to decide which colours to choose. "'Should I go with a turquoise and a gold for the face? What about the room? I was going for a chic cool modern palette which is minimalistic!" Surely, a lot of us have gone through those decisive moments. Below are some colour scheme tools that would help you with your colour scheme choices. Click the titles or the links in asterisk to go...
