TUTORIAL - Tips for All ArtistsHello everyone! I have written a tutorial like this before here. But recently I have had more thoughts about it that I decided to share. As you may have noticed, I am not a professional artist, I am a hobbyist and self-taught, and what I will expose here is what I've learnt from my own experience. Even so, I hope this tutorial will be helpful to you! Another note: English is not my first language, so I apologize if I commit any mistakes. Feel free to correct my grammar any time, as well as make suggestions or asking questions! This tutorial is for every kind of artist, but sometimes I will focus more on visual artists (since it's my speciality). I believe that everyone can be an artist, and this tutorial has not only the purpose of providing advices and tips, but also motivation for all. Contents 1. Your Image as an Artist on dA 2. Your Image as an Artist outside dA 3. Your Popularity 4. Your Art Process 5. Your Artistic Sty

Thank you so much… I was feeling down because, I'm trying to make a cartoon style that expresses me and who I am but, I was having a hard time. This helped a lot~

This helped a lot. When I think of my style, I always want it to be delivered like epic fighting animes like the newer version of Digimon (probably more than one of those, XD), and/or something that's a hybrid between manga and cartooning.

When people see my art, I want them to laugh at my warped humor and have their hearts pound as the story reaches the climax, then celebrate and cry happily with the characters when the finally triumph.

Thank you for this motivation! I've been working hard, six hours a day, on my art all week but've only made one piece that I actually thought was Deviant-worthy. I was pretty depressed. This definitely helped!

Thank you very much! After reading this, I feel much better! I was kind of upset with myself, thought I never give up, but sometimes practice all the days and still wont be able to draw your characters or just any silly thing you would like to draw...well, its depressing. I guess, any beginner need to hear sometimes "You can do it". So thank you!

P.S. Forgive my english.

Wow... I loved this. At first I didn't know what to make of it, but as I went about my day I found myself remembering stuff you had said, especially about writing a list of what you want your art to be. What a great idea! I also love the soft rainbow colors in the background. It keeps the text interesting. x)

There are a few grammar mistakes and I can go over them if you'd like, but they really are down to a minimum and you wrote very clearly.
