Basic 2D animation concepts by PowerOfSin, journal

Basic 2D animation concepts

May 29, 2018

Digital Art Week Welcome to a tutorial on basic concepts of animation! This tutorial will be going over some of the basic terminology and concepts for various types of animation. In today's world, almost all animation is digital in nature, but many of these concepts apply to other types, and even some other fields, like live action movies and video games.This tutorial will not go step by step on how to create a specific animation. But if you have a tool at hand that would permit you to create one, you may be able to figure out how to make an image move on your own from the information contained here. NOTE : Example animations may not play ...

Creating a Character Design

May 30, 2018

Digital Art WeekHello fellow artists! In this tutorial, I'll be showing you how I create a fantasy character design from start to finish. Along the way, I'll share tips and tricks to bring life and complexity to your design, and ultimately make your character truly unique. I know that the process of creating creatures can be a daunting task for many, so I hope this little tutorial proves helpful!Please note that I utilize the Paint Tool SAI program; I almost always use the "parrot" brush, but will alter its size and density throughout the process of creating artwork. In this tutorial I'll include significant alterations with this brush...

A Guide to Timed Studies by Riemea, journal

A Guide to Timed Studies

Jun 1, 2018

Digital Art WeekIn this guide I'd like to introduce you to timed studies, including a guide on how to effectively do timed practise studies, as well as some do's and don'ts. What is a timed study? A timed study is exactly what the name suggests: a painting study done during a set time. That time limit can be anything from a few seconds to an hour or two, depending on what it is you want to practise. "Study" can mean: 1) from a reference image and/or 2) preparatory drawing for a "full" piece (to practise a certain element of the future artwork or as a way to experiment before beginning the "real" artwork). Usually reference images are invol...

Intro to Photobashing (Textures) by Gaidenlight, journal

Intro to Photobashing (Textures)

May 31, 2018

Digital Art Week Intro Photographs can be used in a variety of different ways to help speed up your painting process. Some example of these uses are: to get an initial color palette, to fuse multiple images together to create a new one, or to use a photo to add textures to forms you have already established on your canvas. Working with deadlines doesn't typically allow you time to spend 20 hours in rendering a painting to completion, especially when working on products that require near photo realistic level in details. This is just a basic guide to show you a few tools, to add some texture to forms in a quick and easy way. How to use Clip...

Bringing emotion through values by SarcasmNymph, journal

Bringing emotion through values

Sep 1, 2018

Landscape Art WeekendEvery painting has a feeling associated with it, a central theme, an emotion, a mood. However, when it comes to landscape paintings, the mood of the painting takes center stage. In a large setting, the mood is one of the fundamental ways you can grab the attention of your audience. This could mean the lighting, color palette, composition and of course subject matter. Now subject matter is often the most influential aspect and the main thing that will determine what mood you want to set for your painting. However, it is just as important to make sure that the rest of the elements compliment that mood rather than confli...

Basic Figure Drawing by Thiefoworld, journal

Basic Figure Drawing

Mar 5, 2019

Digital Art WeekIn this tutorial I'll show you the process of drawing people, using a base of basic shapes which can be used to draw different types of figures. The Base First, we'll create the base. For this, remember that in their most basic form, every person is composed by a head, a torso, and two legs and arms, so we're going to create a structure composed of simple shapes resembling these: Draw a circle, this will be the head. For the neck, simply draw two little lines at the bottom of the circle. For the torso, draw a rectangle beneath the neck. It doesn't need to be a perfect rectangle, in fact is best if it's slightly modified so ...

How to avoid common mistakes while drawing horses by Astralseed, journal

How to avoid common mistakes while drawing horses

Mar 6, 2019

Digital Art WeekHi everyone, Today I'll be writing about how to avoid common mistakes while drawing horses. If you're not used to drawing horses, or you haven't studied their anatomy extensively, you're likely to make one or more of these common mistakes. Let's learn how to avoid them so that your horse doesn't end up an eccentric mess like this guy below. (gif by @thetadonaldson) References This kind of applies to anything you intend to draw and not just horses, but I can't stress this enough so I felt the need to include this here. When I talk about using references, I mean work from photos or real life. Please don't use other art...

Posing Figures in 3D Part I - Humanoid Figures by weyrwoman-lessa, journal

Posing Figures in 3D Part I - Humanoid Figures

Mar 7, 2019

Digital Art WeekHi, it’s Lessa again, this time smartassing about one of my favourite hobbies – 3D rendering.A good render relies on the same things as a traditional or digital painting: good lighting, good textures and a convincing subject. One of the most important factors for a convincing subject is a convincing pose. And unfortunately, that’s difficult to do. But fortunately, it’s just a matter of knowledge about bones, muscles and a little physics (or a little experimentation).Boo! Did I scare you off already? No? I’m impressed. Then, Brave Adventurers, follow me. I won’t talk about a specific software or a specific model but give hin...

Anatomy of the Human Face by NykolaiAleksander, journal

Anatomy of the Human Face

Mar 5, 2019

Digital Art Week Mirror, Mirror... Faces are most definitely the one thing we see a lot of in our life, and yet, many artists struggle with drawing them.To be fair, faces are one of the hardest things to draw, as they are not like landscapes, where it doesn’t matter if a tree is a few centimetres off in height or width or even position in the painting. If you move any of the facial features just a little too much to the right or left, up or down, a portrait immediately looks strange, if not completely wrong. And that’s just one hurdle, because the individual parts that make up the face pose a challenge, too.In this article, I’ll be going o...

However it is about the sort of lens and the sort of focus you use when capturing a shot. Macro can be just about anything if you are closing in on something - generally very small subjects or small parts of things. The term is applied to the majority of close up photographs but technically it should only apply to those that have a 1:1 or closer magnification.

I would bring him back so I could ask him a million questions about his work. Fore mostly, the painting of Mona L...

First it was film, darkroom, paper. Then it became pixels, software, screen. And for some paper too.
