Hello all, My “bestov” of the day goes to a photograph by Sebastian aka @xbastex that I had not noticed at the time. It now seems to be carried by the magic of the “hype badge” on DeviantArt’s front page, and I am genuinely pleased to see it there. This remarkable image is no stranger to recognition, as it also received a Daily Deviation awarded by Lukasz @burningmonk in 2021. A well-deserved distinction for a work of great mastery. This is photography of a very high standard. Not only black and white, not only street photography, but first and foremost photography in the purest sense of the word, capable of appealing to all lovers of the medium. Thank you to Sebastian for sharing his art and his beautiful sensitivity with us. And to you, dear Deviants, do not deny yourselves the pleasure of visiting his gallery, or even his personal website. You will not be disappointed by the journey.

@Der-Funf With one of mine, as on my home page. Pearwood's 2026A feature log Steve's suggestions on how to leave a good comment... Tell the artist what caught your eye, something your particularly liked or didn't like. Tell the artist something you think they could have done differently or better. Suggest an alternate title; it tells the artist what you saw in the image. Interact with the artwork, continue its story. Ask the artist how or why they did something. If nothing else, even "Ooh, pretty!" or "Oh, ick!" is a lot more information than no comment at all.

Useful websites and other stuff for Artists!

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! Punpedia The Online Encyclopedia Of Puns - This one also speaks for itself! Many categories of puns at your disposal for your writing shenanigans! Insults Wiki - Please proceed with caution that it's literally a list of various insults and other types of profanity, derogatory terms! I only share it for writing purposes, I don't encourage using such against other people. Character Name Generator - A huge database of

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...
