The most overdue journal yet
I've been horribly absent on here lately, I know. I spent about two hours today catching up with comments... whew! :faint: And I still have thousands upon thousands of deviations to go through as well.
I do have reasons for my absence, though! Two months ago, my arm suddenly started hurting. It turns out that sitting at a desk like normal people, with my tablet or drawing pad in front of me, screws up my arm. So I couldn't use it at all for about a month, and then it started getting better. I'm almost back to normal now, but it's been sloooow. And I've been saving up the not-sore time for my commissions and other work, which I'm lagging behi
Go 'green screen' for solidarity with VFX artists!
The film "Life of Pi" recently won an Academy Award for visual effects, but the artists behind those have little to show for it. In fact, 250 of them were laid off when their company, Rhythm and Hues, had to file for bankruptcy.

So here's the challenge:
Create a colour drawing or painting using only colours, no black. That means no black pencil/paint, no grey pencils, no charcoal, no graphite, no black paper. And you have to use several different colours, or at least different shades of the same colour; drawing
News - A Poll A Day!
There are numerous amounts of brilliant traditional art here on dA. Not everyone gets the exposure or the popularity deserved here. As a traditional artist myself, I know the amount of time and effort that goes into creating each and every traditional piece of art. So, can't a group of us traditional artists do a little something for each other and the larger community? Here is a fairly simple idea that a few of us have decided to begin.
THE IDEA
1. The usage of polls as a way of exposing art
2. Art shall be displayed as thumbs
3. A group of us traditional artists take turns as rotation each day to bring out the under-exposed
4. Creati
