Well I suppose there's something else I can do other than homework while I'm sick today. Cool thing to check out deviantART today for a bit to find out we have premium membership privileges for a day. Pretty cool stuff though usually I tend to either miss it or just don't find any use for such features. (I still don't think it's all that amazing for me to actually spend money on a membership for a few reasons that I won't bore anyone with). But I thought why not take this opportunity to share stuff with any who reads this? So I've got some lovely stuff you just might enjoy and/or find helpful.

I shall ramble no more. It's time to share pictures and links and stuff! Yay!




This link is super helpful for most to all of your needs. Someone else went through all the trouble searching and logging all the places that can help an artist out. Tutorials is only one area covered. This wonderful person has also included areas where you can find stuff like textures. It is definitely something worth writing down/bookmarking. Oh, yes it is.

Brought to you buy the lovely lady behind the webcomic, Manly Men Doing Manly Things (link down in Comics to Read section), a lineart tutorial. Specifically one which helps you fixing up your lines once they've been scanned in.

Lineart Tutorial

Tumblr has many cool blogs around all sorts of things so here are two (although already providing links for them up by the rainbow header) that are definitely worth checking out:

Artist Advice
Artist Problems

And this link isn't necessarily a tutorial per se, but provides an interesting comparison between prices of the local artist (usually found in conventions or selling stuff online) to artists of the world~~~ It might help putting things into perspective. c:

Pricelists Industry vs Fandom

And don't throw away your markers! Here's why:

Don't Throw Away Your Markers

Who needs references or things that could potentially inspire them? I do, you [possibly] do, we all [probably] do! So here are some links for that, too.

Top 10 Dinosaurs That Aren't What They Were

OMG That Dress!

If you're looking for some webcomics to check out I've got a good selection to start from. Some have recently started, others have been doing this for years, but all of them are definitely worth looking into. That said, hopefully there's at least one in which you fall in love with and will help support the artist(s) behind the comic.
