I think having two or three judges is fine, but the problem therein lies that we'd have to pick people with different styles.
Forgive me if I just haven't been scourging other galleries enough, but the variations in styles does not seem to be a particularly prevalent trait of the Pokecommunity Art Gallery. .-. Regardless, I think since our number of entries will be rather low, giving a one-line comment or however much a judge wants to say about a piece would be very helpful, especially if we're not letting average joe members vote and post as to why they voted as such. I hope I'm making sense, because I don't feel like I am. .-. Also, because of the sheer nature of the Art Gallery atm, I think it should be monthly. .-. |
I agree with all that, but though I do see plenty of style variation (as in most of our seasoned artists definitely have a distinct style they've developed), it's not radical enough to where I think it'd really affect judging IMO.
Monthly sounds good here, plus I think the kind of pieces that would be done for the contests would take longer to do than tags or pixel art. I know I take way longer to paint than to pixel. |
I'm with Kina 100% on this, if it's a contest for this area, we only need to specialize on people who understand the usual for this area, right? I'm sure If something unusual was sumbitted, we could work with it, it's not like people here are narrow-minded or anything... At least, I don't find you guys that way. ^^;
All I'm trying to say is; It might be best to just go for it and iron out the issues as they come as opposed to trying to sort out issues we don't have yet? So, we'd be looking at a monthly contest with two or three judges who provide some sort of score and reasons why they gave that score. I think this sounds really good. I hope we can pull it off! :') |
Digital Camera or Scanner
What do you prefer for capturing your art into digital files.
|
*sigh* Just a scanner.
Wish I could do digital art... Dx |
Not quite sure if this thread should be here, but...
A scanner is always the best choice IMO, it's just a matter of having a decent one. Even if you work on a larger scale, having access to a large format scanner is best. Digital cameras are built for photography with little else in mind. |
Art Zine
Hey So I'm currently working on an art zine.
the Concept is a A5-sized 10pg book, It will contain some of my art (possibly cropped or zoomed in), maybe some little sketches and possibly a small b/w comic. Two questions; 1) what do you think of my idea? 2) where is a good place to see my book (online wise) |
I think it's a brilliant idea, although it might work better as a journal which you keep updating rather than limiting it to 10 pages. That is, unless you have a specific theme / challenge in mind that you want to fit 10 pages, like say you want to make one piece of art a day for 10 days, then that would work. But I see no other reason for strictly limiting an "art-zine", especially considering 10 pages really isn't that much, and A5 paper is pretty small...
As for the other question, I don't really understand. If you mean like where can you upload it, there are many places, but if you mean like to showcase it specifically then you could look into a blog type thing. I use tumblr for my art journal and update whenever I make something, but you could upload the 10 pages and then leave it. |
Alrighty, I have some ideas for some more activity for the Art Gallery. Why don't I post it instead of asking the members here? Well, that's wouldn't make all that sense. I wanted to discuss ideas I had in mind that maybe you guys would like to have or not? Maybe you have some ideas of your own? Post an idea, possibly? A Monthly Contest? - I think Loki suggested some sort of art contest, already, but I think we need a few more comments on this. I suggest for the Art contest to be a Monthly thing. Not everyone takes a few days to make a drawing. I think it would be helpful and have more time to those who don't draw as quickly as other people. Judges? Well, I can judge, but I think we'll need two more. Maybe someone who has more experience with looking at different art styles? Or maybe someone with more judging experience? Holiday Projects? - I remember a project I took part in, the only thing is that it was pixel art, but it was a big thread where you posted pixel or sprite art relating to the Holiday. Then on Easter, it was a big Sprite/Pixel Pokemon Egg project. Very fun, maybe we could do it. |
I have a question about tablet's, and which ones are better. The reason I am asking is because I found two different Wacom tablets on sale for the same prica and I can't decide which is better. I have an idea, but I want to get the opinion of other artists here. So here they are:
Bamboo Fun Intuos4 - Small I know that the latter is professional, but I'm also interested in programs that come with these and overall use. My main problem is size that is making me have trouble deciding. |
Wheeee... jumping into the PC's visual arts section for no reason!

And umm yeah, that's about it. |
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I can't find somewhere else that is suitable.
Yesterday, I posted a gallery in the Graphics & Photography section, and I can't find it. I'm guessing it's been deleted or moved or it might need approval but I'm not sure. Could someone please tell me: 1) If it's been deleted, why, so I can make a proper gallery 2) If it's been moved, where, so I can see it 3) If it needed to be approved, how long could it take. Thank you. |
I'm not a mod or anything but... >_>
After searching through your last-created threads, I don't see any that would fit the description you're giving. As in ones that were posted 'yesterday' and in the 'photography section'. As far as I know, the G&P forum doesn't have any actual rules that says your thread needs to be approved, only that you need to have at least four examples posted to get to keep the thread open. That said, since you said that you posted it yesterday and are only realising it now, I'm guessing that you posted it in a hurry and somehow made a mistake like closing your browser window too fast, or not actually clicking the button before closing the browser window. I'm basing this purely on the fact that you were late in recognizing the problem because if your thread were locked it would still show. Also, PC doesn't delete threads unless they contain illicit material. |
Thank you for telling me, it was probably that I closed the tab too soon, I'll make it again. :)

My tablet is old: it's an intuos3 6x8. I've had it for more than 3 years and it hasn't failed me yet. I recommend the intuos line if you want something that's really long lasting and durable. I've had friends buy the bamboo fun tablet and they claim that it also works pretty well. But I've noticed that there is a difference in the sensitivity levels, meaning that the lines didn't register the pressure as well (this could vary from person to person, but a lot of people are saying that for painting and drawing, intuos is the way to go). Now, to answer your concerns about: Size - In my experience, the tablet size really doesn't matter. In fact, I think that my tablet is too big. This of course varies from person to person, and many prefer larger tablets. The bamboo is significantly bigger for a cheaper price. Programs - If you don't have any programs at all, and this is your first tablet, I recommend the Bamboo. I'll say this though: I'm not too fond of either of the programs listed since I've already been accustomed to the full versions of them (Mainly Photoshop CS3). But one of the best deals for a drawing program I've seen is "Paint tool SAI" (If you google it, it should be the second one on the SYSTEMAX website). It's about $63 and is excellent at painting and lineart (even more so than PS in some aspects). Bottom line: If this is your first tablet and you're trying to get a feel for it, go with the Bamboo. It's a lot cheaper and it comes with some software to get you started. If you're really serious about art and you want something to last a long time and you're willing to cough up a few extra bucks, go with the intuos. The size doesn't really matter and it's great for painting/lineart. |

Oh! Ah, I knew I was too late XD But glad I could reinforce your decision!
|
Hmm, a bit random, but does anyone have any suggestions when it comes to drawing group pictures? Like, five to six full bodies standing in one picture?
I've always found proportioning multiple people in one picture is difficult for me.... |
would it be helpful to draw people seperately and have layers or so? Something like that.
|
I was thinking drawing people separately would be good, but I feel like it might look a little inconsistent...? My style changes all the time- I have very poor consistency, so.....
|
So I just started PaintTool Sai.
This was the first thing On did on it. I used the Paper Acrylic Brush for it. Do you guys have any brush preferance that you like to use on PaintTool Sai - Kinda don't really know what to use brush-wise) Spoiler:
(Used Photoshop to color it) |
BAM, WE HAVE A NEW ART CONTEST! |
Akiyuki Aretukasu, I think the 1st picture is the best in colour.
|
Poll answer: I prefer a Flatbed Scanner but rarely have one to hand so a Digital Camera does the job.
A couple of small questions. Who here does art commissions? (I was going to advertise work on deviantART and try to get some commissions). How much on average do you charge per commission? and finally, is it legal to do and sell fan-art on Pokemon? |
I do art commissions on dA (or I would if I had customers), but you aren't allowed to sell things here on PC.
Making profit from copyrighted stuff is technically illegal but typically no action is taken. I personally don't do fanart commissions for my own reasons. |
