GUIDE: How to get more watchers/views on artmmkay like 2 people asked me this after I held my 1000+watcher giveaway T U T
im sorry I didn't give you a direct and easy to understand answer but... I hope this will be better than the answer i gave you two XD I wont note you back but i hope you will see the journal ; A ;
I've also had people comment that they wish they had more watchers so here are some tips ;u;
Also, some parts of this guide is mostly for visual artists that do drawings
I have no experience in photography/other types of art so I apologize ^ ^;
This is not meant to be instructional, these are just some handy tips you can try out
Please do not copy/redistribute this guide, i worked really hard on it!
WOOOOOOOT JOURNAL SKIN FOR THE OCCASION
Before we begin
Remember that the number of watchers you have is just a number. It does not fully represent how well you draw/how many people like you. A common misconception is that someo

How to: Margin + PaddingFor this tutorial series I am explaining different elements you can create or modify with the help of CSS. The level of experience that is needed to be able to understand the tutorials can differ and will be in no order.
However I will try to explain the things as simple as possible. Upcoming questions should be left in a comment directly to this blog so that people with similar problems can look them up later as well.
----
The tutorial series is based on the gruze-structure of journals. If you are still using the old structure or have a journal installed that used it, things won’t work the same way like explained below.
For simple skins the old structure is fine, but the more features you add, the more I would recommend using the gruze-structure. You can look up the differences here: http://ginkgografix.deviantart.com/art/Old-vs-Gruze-Journals-112772369
It seems like a lot of people are struggling with the usage of margin and padding. In the end it doesn’t matter ho

Colour Theory ResourceHave you ever needed help with your colour in your art? Well, *purplekecleon, a fellow deviant, has you covered with this: A flash tutorial on how to make colour do everything for you, from simply being harmonious, to creating a mood, to creating depth in your work. Its focus is digital art, but the premise remains the same. Hope you all enjoy!

PS--Time to submit to our contest is coming to a close, and I only see one entry...do we need an extension??

For PaigeeWorld ModsPlease do not view if you don't care.

It's true. Please believe me. I'm TehAwesomeKitty on Paigee World.
Half of my drawings were deleted. WHY? I did'nt do anything.
I uploaded my old art on PaigeeWorld. Why did it get deleted? I am TehAwesomeKitty.
Look at my earlier journals and look at the Entry "I have a buttload of accounts"
It's the truth. If you don't believe me, then fine. It's okay. It's okay if you think I hacked into MY OWN ACCOUNT. It's okay if you think that I only helped MYSELF into making the Mods believe me. It's okay if you think I only borrowed MY OWN ACCOUNT.

No, it's okay. I don't mind, really. I will just go to a corner and sit there for a little while until I get hungry and then eat and go back to the corner and do the same process everyday.

I have and Idea and need help.First of oh shit and up date lol sorry comp was shitty but is working awesomely thanks to my co-worker Sheri from work X3
Okay now to the main reason I started this thing. I have an idea for a game type thing for hetalia. Its one that came to me so alot of things can be added I honestly have put one of my oc's into the idea. and so far in my head at least its still okay.
Main thing is Idk how to do computerized things to make this indie game. Some would say oh just make it into a comic or a fanfic but I got inspired but Hetaoni https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CC4QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Faooni.wikia.com%2Fwiki%2FHeta_Oni&ei=13WZUdrsMpHs9ASv2oGICA&usg=AFQjCNFVJIxmNz5qnhqC_ozamAfhewrljw&sig2=eSLNPUpaY5SnML_XqQf9sw Hetaquest Romatalia and so on~ http://noir74.deviantart.com/journal/HetaOni-HetaQuest-RomaHeta-and-Others-update-304544164
Theres the info on them I could find. Sorry for not much more on it. But I absolutly love these ideas X3 Sadly no

Illustrating history.One idea I have for illustrations is if the story takes place in or there are characters from another time period, I look up illustrations from that period and mimic it's style. Like say 1966 just type "1966 illustration" in Google or Bing and presto! or find books published that year and my favorites are the Illustration Society, Graphis, International Yearbook of Communication Design, etc. If you want to do any earlier time period or like say a certain person such as Cleopatra. See how other artists depicted her throughout the ages like here http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Cleopatra_in_paintings plus there's debates about her heritage. Let's say your story is set in Norway in the late 19th/early 20th century, which artist is most identified with this place and time? Edvard Munch! Look up some of his work http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category

aintings_by_Edvard_Munch and see how he painted things.
I hope that's good advice for you.

Week 3 Pose Circus Challenge for :devdAPoses:Let the Feast Begin!
This time it is all about the food. Anything from picnic to roman feast, from stuffing a turkey in the oven to shrimp on the barby. Preparing, cooking, serving, eating.
Each week on Saturday, there will be a new challenge to the stock artists and a folder created for the theme of that challenge. This will go on for 8 - 10 weeks. Instructions for each challenge will be in the folder for that week. And as always, our core requirements and stock guidelines must be followed. Each folder will have two sub folders, one will be for any nude submissions. Please make sure you put your submission the correct folder. Thank you.
We have decided as a way to encourage more submissions and involvement to make each challenge last for the entire circus, so you can continue to submit for any of the challenges as you have inspiration, opportunity and possibly the right props

We know how hard it can be to do a specific theme. Do please try to put them in the correct folders t
