Capturing a character's essence

Oct 1, 2015

Fan ArtHello everyone! My name is Francesca Urbinati, @nime080 on DeviantArt. I'm a professional artist and a freelancer on comics, illustrations and visual design. As a cartoonist, I'm used to mimicking dfferent styles to fit in big projects or established character designs. Today I want to share tips about drawing fan arts , capturing the essence of someone else's character while adding a bit of your personal touch. 1. Document about the character Gather graphic references as well as information about the character's personality : is he bold or shy? What fashion style does he wear the most? Does he have a typical facial expression or...

Doujinshi: How to make a fancomic and not die

Oct 3, 2015

Fan Art WeekReading fanfics about your favorite series or manga is kinda common, but sometimes you can find images of the manga that look genuine but show the characters in unusual situations that you would never see in the canon. These are the so called ' doujinshi ' or fancomics.Before begin with tips and tricks about make a doujinshi, let's see some definitions: Doujin [同人] Japanese word which literally means a group of people with the same interests, but it is often used as a shorthand for doujinshi.

Fan Art: Interview, HunterK

Oct 2, 2015

Interview with :devHunterK: 1. Introduce yourself. Hi I'm known in DA as HunterK. K is for Kai, so please call me Kai haha. I've been with DA for 10 years. I have been drawing fan arts for as long as I remember. 2. What got you started working on Fan Art? People learn by imitating. As babies, we started learning to talk by imitating our parents. I started drawing the same way (by copying). When I started watching cartoons and anime, I can't help but be fascinated at the cute facial expressions, glorious outfits, graceful movements and colorful sceneries. I told myself: I also want to do something like that! I want to give life to somethi...

Copyright Resources Compilation

Sep 30, 2015

Fan ArtWhen we talk about Fan Art, the question of copyright tends to come up. There have been a lot of resources posted on the subject on DA over the years and sometimes they can be tricky to find. So this is a comprehensive compilation on the topic posted by staff, who have had legal consultation. I have left out older articles that are similar to the ones I included as the more recent ones would have the most accurate information.Policy DA's Copyright Policy Articles <- This is the big one, specific to Fan Art and it comes with video.

Original Characters, Fan Art and Submission

Sep 29, 2015

Fan ArtBecause DA has so many categories, I can guarantee that every artist has had a moment where they sit there, staring at the screen going "but this could fit 2 or 3 of those, how do I know where it should go?" Fan Art is especially confusing because every media based subcategory exists as other categories in the submission tree. When you throw Original Characters (OCs, also called Fan Characters), characters created by fans to exist in a universe copyrighted to someone else, the confusion only grows. Licensed art is the cherry on top of the messy submissions sundae. Hopefully I can untangle some of this for you below. What count...

How do I suggest Daily Deviations? | Today's DDs

Daily Deviation is a recognition given daily by Community Volunteers and DeviantArt Staff members to exceptional artworks for their technical execution and visual/written quality. Many of these Daily Deviations come from suggestions made by the community. Volunteers represent the different artistic categories of DeviantArt, and their primary goal is to encourage the growth of artists and the community through fun dynamics.

Each CV likes to feature certain things more than others, depending on their tastes. Currently, there are two CVs that represent Fan Art and you can find their DD Suggestion Guidelines below:
