Some awesome downloads →
If you’ve got a bit of money on you, right now, all of TAD’s downloads are $6.99, which is an amazing deal. (Plus it’s nice to support some artists.) If you don’t have any cash to spare, Imaginefx’s workshops are helpful, too.
Values in Composition
pinalinet:
I’d just like to preface this with an apology for the lack of posts recently; I am drawing stuff but it’s mostly nothing I can show right now, so… sorry about that!
Anyway, here’s something I wanted to do a while back as an answer to a question I got, but didn’t get around to doing it until now. It’s a sort of guide to values in composition!

Answering CondescendingAsshole , who asks..

Photoshop Brushes!
kalidraws:
First off, hello new followers! With the influx of people, I got a bunch of questions asking me what kind of brushes I use for my work, so I figured I should do another post summarizing my methods:
I use a bunch of custom photoshop brushes, some that I’ve made myself (it’s easy, and there’s plenty of tutorials out there), and some that I’ve gotten from generous friends. I also use...

Fuck yeah
coffeekinns:
CA, This is how I personally feel about my art. In all it’s mediocrity. And you should too, with your own art. Most of the times I draw stick figures. Fuck yeah. I’m horrible at drawing women, but still do it. Fuck yeah. I draw the most random stuff everyday, just because of an overreaching inferiority complex. Fuck yeah. I’m a lazy bastard. Fuck yeah. This picture I’m gonna do...

Notes from a Glen Keane lecture
eyecager:
Enjoy! He was such a wonderful and lovely person to listen to and meet. I got to see him draw Tarzan, Ariel and Beast. I got to go to a company event, so he shook my hand signed my Tangled book and chatted with me for a little bit but I could barely get my words out.
