Art Advice Issue #5 - How to Find your Own Style

By far the most common concern I see people on DA mention is, "I wish I had my own style / How can I get my own style?" Hardly a week goes by when I don't see different people saying this. Because of this, I decided to write this article with some tips people may find useful, when searching for a style to call their own. This is what I did, ten years ago, when I was trying to find my own manga style; and I've mentioned this method to some other people and they found it informative and useful as well, so I'm sharing it with you all. The first part of this article will talk about what is included in what we call "style" (did you know personal

There are many ways to Rome they say. But I meet a lot of aspiring artists lost and asking me for guidance and this is what I tell them.

Once you can make your pick, or at least pick 1 or 2 you must do research on the most valued artwork from that niece. Find out what makes the best artist of your favorite field the best artist. Wha

Fast lane to becoming a better artist.

I often get this very question: How did you get this good this fast? Now as I consider myself not being as good as people tell me, even struggling quite often with being an artist in general. I do know how to get better and how to reach it fast. I'm still growing as I go and it's the main thing that keeps me going. You need to get into the right mindset and the rest will follow. With the rest I mean: 1. Willpower. 2. Endurance. 3. Positive energy. 4. The NEED to draw. :bulletblue: Seeing growth in your work gives you the courage to work harder. You know that feeling when you're just about done with an image and feel like this image is bett

Conquer your artblock

I think every artist out here has experienced it at least one time in their career: the so called artblock. A moment of total lack of inspiration that suddenly hits you, and leaves you unable to create. Most often the solution is to just wait. Most artblocks will solve automatically with time. But there are circumstances in which an artblock doesn't automatically disappear, or when you have deadlines to catch. In that case, you might be helped by some basic tips to conquer your artblock. Over the years, I've experienced an artblock (or writersblock, as they call it for fiction writers) many, many times. Most of them were short, but the longe

A guide on making an art portfolio.

Hello! Very often people ask me to review their portfolio, often enough to detect a certain pattern of wrong choices that cause potential proffecional artists to sit longer on the side bench than necessary. The following article serves as a guideline but in no way it it the absolute truth or only route into getting yourself a concept art position or illustration job. See it as a checklist, before approaching your dream job. It's the big artist dream to simply paint what you like and be able to sell that and make a ton of money so you can simply keep making what you like. Even though there are some artists out there that are pretty much livi

The Art of Critiquing

Community Week You are probably (hopefully!) already aware that DeviantArt allows users to comment on each other's deviations. What you may or may not have noticed is that DA also has a handy feature called Critiques. Critiques are a Core Member feature that allows users to leave in-depth observations of your work in addition to a ratings system. A critique allows the artist to receive specific comments about their work. Before we begin, let’s take a look at what DeviantArt designed the critique system to be: “Critique is designed to be a thorough evaluation of a Deviation on a number of different qualities. It is intentionally

That's how you get pageviews

And here you have the number one question that people ask me: "How the hell did you get so many people to view your art? You're not even that good!" I can't do anything other than honestly admitting that I'm not that good at art. I'm not some awesomely skilled concept artist, at least. I've seen many people do a better job while receiving a lot less of attention. Why a medium like DeviantArt works for me? Probably because I've been around on the internet for so long, and I've spend so much time working for internet-marketing company's, that things like advertising and web usability have become a second nature to me. A lot of the things that

Smart Searching Using #Tags

Community Week Search with Tags: Finding Art You WANT To Find! Sit back and hold on tight. It's time to learn something useful. What does it mean to "tag" my artwork? If you've submitted a deviation to your gallery, you have likely noticed the small box below the description that allows you to add tags to your artwork. You know... tags. The hashtag, number sign, pound sign, or even the original term "octothorpe". Using tags on DeviantArt means you are giving your deviation keywords that people can use to search for your art or art similar to yours. Tags are represented by the "hashtag" symbol and the keyword. If someone submits an oil pai

Introduction to ACEOs

Traditional Art Forewords Wouldn't it be awesome to own a collection of original, handmade artworks from various artists? Unfortunately having a large collection of big paintings or drawings is not often possible because original artworks and their shipping around the world cost money and they also need lots of space at your home to be presented in the best possible way. However, this does not mean you couldn't own a piece of art from your favorite artist: the solution is artist trading cards, also known as ATCs or ACEOs. At the beginning of this article I introduce what these little cards are. To trading and creating ACEOs in DeviantArt u
