Out of the Tips posted between Sept 1–30, 2020, the writers of the following will be rewarded a cash prize or GOLD!
The themes this time were "WIP: Share your creative process!," "Using file objects like a pro!," and "Techniques involving photos." WIP tutorials showed how to create an artwork, make it into a tutorial, and then share it to social media. For file objects, artists showed how to use this feature in games, animations, and other projects that combine complex elements. For techniques involving photos, we saw photo editing, ways to match a photo to the mood of the illustration, photobashing, and many other techniques. We're still accepting submissions for our new themes and look forward to your participation!
