Features: Original FanartsA collection of Original FanartFan Art: "Artwork that is based on a character, costume, collage, item, or story that was created by someone other than the artist" - WikipediaWith that definition, the term "Original Fanart" may seem contradictory. However the images featured in this article are the perfect example of artworks that are based or inspired in something already existing (thus being considered "Fanart") yet presenting the artist's original vision of saidinspiration.Said in less fancy words: "Fanart presented in the artist original style"We all love fanart. That's because we all are fans of at least one thing: a book, a movie, a TV show, a
Tip of the Day: Finding the right 'job'You know you love what you do when you can honestly say 'My "job" is not my job. it's who I am. Tell me why you love being an artist!
PE - The Beef with BasesWelcome to the Beef with Bases article. This may get a little controversial, so put on your heavy duty hats!By now, we should all know what a base is. But just for a refresher - A base is a bald, naked figure for people to 'doll' clothes onto. Lately, more people have been making animal bases as well. Some argue that since they can't be dressed up, they aren't proper bases. But a base is a vague term to begin with. Why do so many people make bases? What's the allure? Many people just start doodling and end up with a body they don't plan on finishing. So why let it go to waste? They fix it up a bit and let other people use it, so maybe others will find inspiration where theirs left off. Other times people are inspired by a pose, and want to practice their anatomy and draw the body. Sometimes people even have an idea in mind - say... a big set of mermaid poses! And more frequently, people see a piece of art t

Tip of the Day: Doubters and HatersBefore you start off your career (or perhaps you just started your career) there tends to be more doubters and haters around you.Most doubters and haters lurk at the bottom because they're too fearful or ignorant to try.Sometimes many of our biggest doubters aren't bottom lurkers but our relatives or friends. Most of the time they mean well but they are not YOU. They don't know what you are capable of.For many people, you are your worst hater and doubter. The only way you can find what you're capable of is by trying your absolute hardest. True failure comes from not trying!Sending positive vibes to you all!Bobby---------------------------------------------------------The Perfect Bait http://www.theperfectbait.com
slutty guitarist sketchesHei everyone,Finally I had a little freetime to work on the 'slutty guitarist' project beside my manga works!I hope you enjoy these sketches.During colorating I took some step-by-step photos, so that you can the the progress of working(I will update it sometime soon)Yours,N.

drawing technique???Hei everyone,Hope you are doing fine.I want to give just a quick reply to the many people who wrote me messages asking about my drawing media and how to use it etc.Well, the essence of asking about tricks or techniques might be asking for shortcuts.Of course, there are a lot of tutorials 'how to draw' in the internet, and it is the easiest way just asking someone to teach.But I choose the tough way always.I want my artworks to be free, learned by own experience.So if someone really want to draw like I do, they need to try to run their head against a wall and be more stubborn first.Skill and technique is overrated anyway :>I wish you all the best in your creations,N. join me at Facebook
Introduction to Polymer ClayPolymer clay is a modeling compound consisting mainly of polymer polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and plasticizes to make it pliable. As you can see it's easy to define polymer clay, but there's no possible way to describe all the variety of things that can be achieved with it. In this article I will recollect some of the best resources and guide you through the basics of polymer clay, if there's anything I didn't cover here please don't hesitate to leave a question, I'm sure me or other polymer clay enthusiasts will be happy to help you I will be referring to polymer clay as it's my medium of choice and expertise, but many of these resources can be used for other kinds of clay. You can even make yo
MangaRecently I am working very hard on my weakpoints for climbing up to the next level of my career as manga-ka.To be honest, it is kind of frustrating being confronted with your failures directly, and also painful.

Yamino's Coloring TipsA lot of people tell me they like the way I color! It's pretty easy once you learn the tricks. I made a set color palette for each character (keeping their base colors consistent in any setting), then add shading and lighting effects over the image.Here is Gabrielle's color swatch palette:And here is the Photoshop file to see how I layer the effects. Hope this helps.
