Tips of the Month
Thank you for your posts!
Out of the Tips posted between May 2, 2021 to May 31, 2021, the writers of the following will be rewarded a cash prize or GOLD!
The themes for the 25th round were How to Draw a Chibi, Animating your Art, and Isometric Art Guides. How to Draw a Chibi garnered the most entries this time, with loads of tips on how to manage the head-to-body ratio right while keeping them cute. In Animating your Art, the tutorials featured techniques that anyone can try to make their artwork move, like getting eyes to blink or adding fading effects. And in Isometric Art Guides, we were surprised to see all the different styles, from pointillism to watercolor and even game-like styles. We are now accepting submissions for June's themes and looking forward to your posts!
