@CinnamonDevil With one of mine, as on my home page. (Match spotted by @LualaDy.) Pearwood's 2026A feature log Steve's suggestions on how to leave a good comment... Tell the artist what caught your eye, something your particularly liked or didn't like. Tell the artist something you think they could have done differently or better. Suggest an alternate title; it tells the artist what you saw in the image. Interact with the artwork, continue its story. Ask the artist how or why they did something. If nothing else, even "Ooh, pretty!" or "Oh, ick!" is a lot more information than no comment at all.

Disclaimer Notice: Every week Including holidays, I search on DeviantArt for Deviants who work very hard on their Deviations and deserve to be featured on my Weekly Features Journal. Information for Deviants who don't know or confused as to "Feature" is and what does. Features are Previews of artwork that are posted in a journal that are used as Hyperlinks that would go straight to your Artwork that you uploaded to your own gallery with a "click" of the Preview picture. Being Featured in a journal might give you an increased chance to have other Deviants to view your artwork, Favorite, Comment or even Gems as they please. Features are very well known and Positive to the DeviantArt Community! If you wish not to be Featured, Please send me a Note so I can remove your Artwork from the journal. NOTHING IN THE FEATURE

BACK HOME AND HI THERE - FEATURES - SONGS

Well, the travel happened! When I last wrote I was at Chicago Midway Airport, which is not my favorite airport, and it was 18 degrees Fahrenheit outside. On the way back at the same airport it was only 3 degrees Hartford and Old Saybrook weren't as bad as that (with stops in Haddam and Chester), although it did snow a fair bit towards the end. We were actually stuck behind slow plow trucks on the highway. We had my grandfather's celebration in the same place where my grandmother's had been. He fought in the Korean War as a reserve Marine, so there was a flag ceremony with the guns and everything (which was partly spoiled by car alarms and ringtones). The whole trip was kind of a bummer, but getting back was quick enough Over the past year I have been on 9 different airplanes and at 7 different airports, and I need a long break from all of that stuff Back at home, the apartment people finally came to clean my carpet and also fixed my closet door. I am hoping the carpet smell

Useful websites and other stuff for Artists!

Dec 10, 2024

I guess in the current world flooded with AI it's important to reach out a helping hand to other real artists. So I decided to share as many resources as I can and I hope some can find that interesting/important/useful! I'll make sure to update this periodically and keep it all "topic accurate" (as a specific sections so everybody can find something for themselves! Most of them are free to use! If you know any useful sites then feel free to share! USEFUL TOOLS FOR WRITING! Thesaurus | Synonyms and Antonyms of Words - I think this one doesn't need introduction, haha! Punpedia The Online Encyclopedia Of Puns - This one also speaks for itself! Many categories of puns at your disposal for your writing shenanigans! Insults Wiki - Please proceed with caution that it's literally a list of various insults and other types of profanity, derogatory terms! I only share it for writing purposes, I don't encourage using such against other people. Character Name Generator - A huge database of

How to draw Minty The Garden Dragon!

Jul 1, 2024

The theme for this month is Garden Dragons! 🌱 For this tutorial I will be featuring Minty The Mint Dragon as one of my favorite Garden Dragons to draw! Follow the steps and create your own artwork! Post your drawing on DeviantArt with the tag #GardenDragonTutorial and get a Profile badge! I mainly sketch my work in Painter SAI2. A lot of my color work is done in Corel Painter using the "Mona Lisa" brush. :bulletgreen: What is a Garden Dragon? A garden dragon is a plant-like dragon that lives in a garden pot. I originally called them "Bonsai Dragons." I have evolved them since the first creation of Bonsai Dragon and have made several different variations of them like Minty Dragon. :bulletgreen: Why this art style? I love to read and make comics of my own and have developed this cute art style to fit my very own comic that I run called Lucky Dragon and Friends. I post this comic regularly here on DeviantArt as well as on WebToon. Some of the recent episodes of my comic

Resources For Artists: Colour Scheme Tools

Jan 4, 2013

Colour Scheme Tools So I have been thinking of doing a few articles apart from feature articles to link some useful resources for artists and this is the first one of these. While this is a mini one, it's helped me a lot on several occassions.Sometimes it gets confusing to decide which colours to choose. "'Should I go with a turquoise and a gold for the face? What about the room? I was going for a chic cool modern palette which is minimalistic!" Surely, a lot of us have gone through those decisive moments. Below are some colour scheme tools that would help you with your colour scheme choices. Click the titles or the links in asterisk to go...
