EASTER EGGS - Color Me Club

Yesterday

🌅 Easter Eggs: April 2026 Contest 🌅 Brought to you by: [EMOTE][EMOTE] [EMOTE] Join @color-me-club in coloring or creating coloring pages about themes that enliven our spirits. Coloring can be meditative fun or a communal activity, open to anyone at any skill level. Making a coloring page is like making a ticket for another's imagination into a place they have never been. Get inspired to color a world you have never seen but isn't complete without your prismatic touch! [EMOTE] 🎯 THE CHALLENGE 1. For the Line Art Creators: Nativity, Nationalism, what do those words bring to your mind? Many things as they should, for both words are rooted in the word to be born. Like every idea born in your mind, no matter it's quality, it had to come from you. As April is the month of Easter, named after the spirit of Spring, nothing encapsulates something being born more than the egg. Create a line art of a EASTER EGGS— more than one but the exact number is up to you. Line Art Folder [

MARCH 2026 FEATURED ART Please check out the curation of all of my favorite pieces from MARCH 2026! (CLICK HERE!) These are in no particular order, just in the order of what I felt looked beautiful. [DEVIATION] March 2026 Artist Feature: [EMOTE]UnexpectedToy[EMOTE] [DEVIATION] Ever since I considered writing Feature Journals, Michael S Gibbons, AKA UnexpectedToy was at the very top of my list of artists I just knew I had to feature! There isn't a day that goes by that I don't look at his art, because he has a TEN YEAR daily streak of creating and posting art! Read that sentence again! [DEVIATION] Here is a small collection of SOME of the artwork posted by Michael // UnexpectedToy in March 2025, followed by a short interview with him. [EMOTE] How did you come up with such a fantastic username? UnexpectedToy: Back in 2009 I was trying to create a Twitter handle for a small video‑production business idea. Twitter had a 15‑character limit at the time, and played with the limited

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!

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...
