Well, I suppose it all depends how you want your comic book to look next to all the competitions in the industry then. Great comic books have excellent art and writing, and I think all comic book ...

Your sequential storytelling is quite good, but your anatomy/figure drawing is the glaring weakness. I think you should spend some time drilling yourself on it--even quick and dirty short lessons a fe ...

V Shane, you are right. It IS about respect.

I have been doing more traditional art for a long time, and people often have their hands out. Can't speak for the gaming community, maybe it's differen ...

Haven't a lot of people been hired into the game industry for what was basically free work? And might game companies be impressed by individuals who devote hundreds of hours to the perfection of their ...

Now that said, Havoc:
You did seem like you were saying that you were doing them a favor. That really isn't fair, since technically they would be doing some great work for you in exchange for not ...

Wow, I scare myself. I am so psychic. Before I even opened this thread, I knew that there would not be any pay involved. I also somehow mysteriously knew that there would be some mention of how good o ...

Well, I went to Otis some years ago, and it was great. My drawing skills improved dramatically. I never will be even remotely as good as some of the artists here, but before I went to Otis I could dra ...

I love both Hogarth and Loomis. I think learning from Hogarth and only Hogarth is not a good idea, but he does have some excellent insights. Loomis is fabulous too.

This is one of my first digital pieces, done around 2000 or so, on an old PowerMac 6100 (60 MHz) and Painter Classic. Just done freehand, goofin ...

Work-for-hire is nasty and I was coached in art school to avoid it when possible. Of course, there will be times when it is difficult to avoid. But there are a lot of different kinds of art and artist ...

Yes, I understand that you don't want that. After all, your own turn at the big brass ring is right around the corner, if you just hang in there.
"Big Brass Ring"? You mean the fruits of my own lab ...

I can make out the 2. A little tough, but when I look hard, I can make out its entire "2" shape. The grayscale looks pretty balanced to me.

With stories like Snow White, and Cinderella, companies like Disney owe their very existence to the public domain. Now they are the chief opponents of it. The loss of the public domain is a far, far g ...

I think it's better than nothing. But still, nothing compares to a real life drawing class. I can't imagine that this would be a viable replacement for a traditional class.

I guess it's up to you. ...

Wow. Wow.

Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Most fascinating. I will peruse it at my leisure.

Fan art is a sticky subject, but I think (think) that some of it can be fair use. However, I wouldn't know how to define "fair use." I do remember reading an article about how "fans" can show pictures ...

quattro: look on eBay. That's what I did. Sooner or later something should show up. I also remember seeing a OEM version (both Mac and PC on one CD) version of Painter 5 flooding eBay probably about 2 ...

I'm pretty sure that Painter 7 was the first version that worked with OS X. And let me tell you�it was a resource hog. I first used it on a iMac 500 MHz with 768 megs of RAM and the app took forever t ...

I knew before I even opened this thread that there would be no money involved.

I'm so psychic.

Wonderful stuff!

They are entirely different mediums, that's for sure.

I have found the opposite situation with my work. I scanned some small pencil sketches (maybe 3" square) to put on my website and in a book I'm ...

I have a legal copy of Photoshop 7 for my Mac. I am a registered user of Photoshop. I also have "tried out" Photoshop 7 on my Windows XP PC, and most of the brushes won't work. Only a few of the more ...

I'm so out of the loop, I didn't realize that there was some debate over this.

It never occurred to me that someone would consider a digital artwork that showed a lot of understanding of (for insta ...

A certain amount of nudity comes with the territory when you are dealing with art. There is a difference between nudity and pornography, however, and I guess that's where people's opinions will differ ...

This is a topic that has been on my mind lately, as it has been discussed elsewhere.

I do think that some copyright holders assume too much�assume that if you use a speck of their work they should ...

I wouldn't use your Wacom for this. Use a regular pad and pencil. I don't know how much of a difference it would make, but I know that even though I am adept with my Wacom, nothing is quite as nice as ...

So far, so good. Looks fine, images pop up in new window, they look dandy!

I'm on OS X, using Camino (Mozilla browser for OS X).

Well, Ian, your quote was so short and sweet and to the point and it expressed so eloquently what we all felt! Wink

I am weary of these Gamespy hooligans. They truly have no respect for artists. What ...

I am not sure what you want here. Do you want to upload files onto your web server so people can see your files and images?

To ramble a litte more about what tayete has already said, if you had we ...

Now they've really done it. Someone has impled that "Art should be FREE!" Someone has said that if you want money for your art, it isn't really art anymore.

These folks just shovel the crap up hig ...
