Tips of the Month
Thank you for your posts!
Out of the Tips posted between Feb 1 - 28, 2022 the writers of the following will be rewarded a cash prize or GOLD!
The themes for the 34th round of Tips of the Month were How to draw water, Using screentones, and Animation for beginners. For How to draw water, we received many Tips showing how to draw water droplets and the surface of water. Using screentones gave us loads of great references for using dots in a wide range of styles, from manga to pop art! The Animation for beginners Tips were an excellent springboard for people who don't usually create animation. They showed how to create effective animations using keyframes to move only a part of an illustration, so you only have to draw a small number of drawings. Submissions for the next Tips of the Month have already started! We're looking forward to seeing your entries!
