A Message To All Artists Out There! By Creating Art, You Are An Artist. There’s No Milestone You Have

A message to all artists out there! By creating art, you are an artist. There’s no milestone you have to hit or skill level you need to be at. You can draw once every few years or finish writing a chapter a week. You can crochet goods only for your family or sell your music to hundreds. Nothing qualifies or disqualifies you, so you are most definitely an artist. 🎨✨

oh hey it’s a tutorial on glowing stuff I guess…I already made one 2 years ago but I don’t make things glow like that any more :|

…also when I’m manually doing colours I pick things like this as if I was shading.

there’s a lot more I could put in as well, but it really varies on the picture how I do the glow…it is usually just fiddling around with styles and colours though.

A Friend Wanted The Settings For My New Brush.

A friend wanted the settings for my new brush.

You DO have to make a blur brush with the same settings; it’s what gives ti that galaxy glowy look!

To get that glow, you have to lightly swipe up and down with the blur tool. The actual brush adds the colors.

My Personal Art Refs for the Galactic Federation’s Soldiers

So I’m in my early 20’s these days, but one thing I remember from back when I was a kid was my obsession with Mega Bloks. Mainly I was a Halo fan, but I also fell into liking a thing called Dragons Universe. It had these wacky spaceships, sci-fi dragons, spring loaded launchers, all the stuff a kid like me would love.

These days, I’m into Metroid, and am trying to flesh out a story I’m working on. The Galactic Federation’s own military forces don’t get fleshed out a lot, but we do at least have designs for their soldiers. Now, remembering back to Dragons Universe, I’m realizing the designs for the human soldiers are actually rather similar in some ways. I think I’ll likely use them as inspiration for some more specialized units in the Federation. So for anyone else who wants to do the same, I’m gonna toss you a couple images.

I am such a huge horse nerd and I apologize. :( But I’m really tired of seeing girths that are halfway down a horse’s stomach. This may not be interesting to anyone who is not me, but I like to draw fancy saddles and ridiculously long shanks on bits. Also, horses are the only animal I can draw, so I take advantage of that.

I hope this helps some frustrated non-horsey artists in at least some small way. Remember, when in doubt, add some buckles and some rings. :)

I'm currently in the process of drawing a comic, and I have found myself struggling with the composition, specifically what angle a character should be viewed from, how to space the text bubbles, and how to have the characters and objects placed. So I was wondering if you have any advice to give on that? Thanks!

To be honest, coming up with the composition for a panel is a lot like shooting a movie. Different angles invoke specific emotions but also help draw your focus on what's important. Different angles are especially useful for fight scenes, since they give it a lot more momentum. I'd suggest taking inspiration from different media for it. Manga and Anime is especially good at that kind of stuff.

As for the text bubbles and the placement of the characters it's important to remember that the eye trails across a page like this:

I'm Currently In The Process Of Drawing A Comic, And I Have Found Myself Struggling With The Composition,

So what you wanna do in composition is work with this flow and not against it.

I'm Currently In The Process Of Drawing A Comic, And I Have Found Myself Struggling With The Composition,

The eye starts with the text box, wanders over to Kris, Frisk (and Susie), goes down to a noticing a distressed Chara and then it stops at the last text box. Though there are many MANY ways to handle this. But that is a simple example how to explain a decent flow.
