No but seriously. It's all





Sticking out tongue No but seriously. It's all practice. Draw a lot, draw every day. Enjoy what you do. Draw what you see, not what you think that you see. Understand how the things that you draw work. Understand what you draw. Grass is not green and the sky is not blue. Light has different colours. Light influences form ...
I'm not sure what kind of information you're looking for.

Or did you mean how art ends up on the main page?
If I'm not mistaken administrators choose the pictures themselves (:

I painted that image after

I painted that image after many hours of looking at images and video of deer. I have been drawing and painting for almost 18 years or so. If you start now and begin studying how to draw from life, in time, you will be able to draw such an image yourself.

This forum has a lot of great resources for learning artists.

Good luck and have fun.

ForestOrb, will you please

ForestOrb, will you please change your avatar? Some of us have asked you to do this quite some times now. The artwork does not belong to you, and stealing others art is not allowed.

Edit; Ninja'd by Quad. :')

I agree with the others.

I agree with the others. Don't steal Sight's art. Change your avvie. But practice is this: Take some artist's pictures in books, for example. Try to draw them down, without a copying paper, but DON'T present them, they would think you're a copycat. However, this has helped me a lot.

yes, i totally get what your saying, i have been doing this for quite a while and it is working. after school started, i never got back to it. so i have been getting worse, or ,well, not as good as i used to be. so i have been trying to get back to it but i realized that i have been getting worse at some things, and better at others. Soi guess i will just have to see what happens. Smiling and congratulations for 18 years of art! thats great! keep up the work and never let it go

Many people have digital art

Many people have digital art pads Sticking out tongue connected to their computer, then they draw on teh pad into a program, how ever some stuff needs to be download for the pad to be used :3 commonly called a tablet, download stuff comes with it when you buy it. and you get a program that allows tablets to be used, most do, although some can be a bit laggy... n yeah Laughing out loud

some people draw their art first in real life on paper, then scan it with a scanner then go over it on their computer, because the texture of paper and the tablet can be annoying when you're not used to it so it makes it easier.

some art programs are downloadable like GIMP. although i cant use it on my computer so i settle for paint then edit it on an online art site called pixlr Laughing out loud

hope this helps :3
