gg makes art: process dump →
gg-art:
I promised WIPs and process stuff a while back. I don’t take pictures of stuff as I’m working on it because I don’t have a camera, so I am afraid I only have what I scanned or did on the computer from the start. Basically it’s just thumbnails, sketches, and finishes. This post be full of text (complaining) and pictures, so it’s under the cut.
I did a bunch of thumbnails, scanned...

PencilCat: 30 Days of Art Improvement Challenge →
pencilcat:
Are you tired of feeling like your art just isn’t improving? Do you want to do a 30-day challenge that’s actually useful? Welcome to 30 Days of Improvement Hell. >:D
I made this because I’ve been feeling super ‘blah’ about my art these days, and I needed something to kick-start myself. Who wants to do this with me!? Start now or whenever you can (now you procrastinators!)....

Suite Pretty Cure Direct Download Masterpost
riribelle:
OH LOOK ANOTHER PRESENT~!
This is the entirety of Suite Precure, including the movie! In addition, this is the Blu Ray release, mostly because it’s the only MKV batch release available now. This means the OP and ED are all shiny and pretty and creditless! All files are completely virus free and if you don’t believe me, 4shared virus scans every file before uploading it, ensuring...

Quick Tips: On Referencing Anatomy →
nightingales:
Reference from real life whenever possible. When you reference or copy from another artist’s studies/sketches/art, you may be copying their mistakes as well. Furthermore, an artist’s studies are their notes and —just like with history or chemistry notes— copying someone else’s notes will not help you fully understand the material. To completely understand anatomy, you must...

Kali Ciesemier: TAXES FOR FREELANCERS, 101 →
kalidraws:
In the past, I’ve gotten some questions about the business of illustration & about how taxes work. Filing taxes is a bummer, but it sucks even more when you have no idea what you’re doing. After progressing from Completely Clueless to Somewhat Experienced* during the past 5 years of doing my own taxes, I thought i’d write (& illustrate!) a generalized rundown. Here’s hoping...

Photoshop Smart Undo
e1n:
If you’re a Photoshop user and you hate how PS switches your active layer when you undo, causing you to paint/draw on the wrong layer and not realize it until way later, then this is early Christmas for you.
(and I’m sure there are a whole lot of you)

Tutorial: from paper to digital.
kaiami:
Hey ya’ll! I’m not much of a tutorial person, but this was a technique that I learned from Syuzuki, one of my favorite artists back in the day, when I was 13. I memorized the technique and it’s been one of the most useful things I can do on photoshop. This was something that really helped me, and I hope that it will be useful for even some of you.
In this tutorial, I will be going step...

Made rebloggable by request
baruyon:
Thanks a lot! (I was confused when you said ‘girl in front of the refrigerator’, then I realised it was the drawing of a girl in front of a window… but it does look like a fridge haha)
Well I use Paint Tool SAI, so I dunno if it’s like Painter in any way, so I’m just going to go through what I do and hopefully Painter has a similar alternative!
For the watercolour look I use the...
