Tips of the Month
Thank you for your posts!
Out of the Tips posted between July 1 to 31, 2022, the writers of the following will be rewarded a cash prize or GOLD!
The themes for the 39th round of Tips of the Month were drawing clothing textures, time saving productivity hacks, and how to draw sea creatures. The guides for drawing clothing textures were packed with knowledge that would come in handy for drawing realistic illustrations, where you need to capture the difference in materials and how clothes drape on different bodies in various poses. It was great to see everyone’s workspace setups in the time saving productivity hacks. We also picked up a few techniques you all seem to use in your daily work to speed up the process, using the fill tool and file object layers! The guides in how to draw sea creatures taught us how to draw a bunch of different marine wildlife, like crabs and jellyfish. Submissions for the next Tips of the Month have already started! We're looking forward to seeing your entries!
