PE: Digital Typography Explained
Gallery DescriptionsWelcome to the Typography part of :devprojecteducate:'s DeviantART Galleries Week !After earliers Traditional Typography it's now time to talk about Digital Typography :la: Digital Art > Typography Digital Art Digital artwork originally created via the use of digital programs on a computer with a pen & tablet or computer mouse. This should be self-explanatory, but for completeness I will add it here. Anything that is (eventually) created on a computer should go here. As mentioned in the previous article slight corrections to photographs or scans do not turn your traditional work into digital. A digital camera also do...
Project Educate: About Typefaces by pica-ae, journal
Project Educate: About Typefaces
Project Educate: About Typefaces Today I would like to introduce the world of Typeface Classification . Since the beginning of Typeface Design, there have evolved many different types of fonts, which can be sorted according to certain rules. I want to give you a short breakdown of the most famous categories and introduce some terminology as well.The most wide spread system is the Vox-ATypI classification . This system was started in 1957 and finalised under this name in 1967. It is probably not a perfect system, as it was out for ciriticism quite a lot. Especially for people that are not very familiar with the terminology or history of T...
Find your way around Animation by Iduna-Haya, journal
Find your way around Animation
Digital Art WeekAnimation is a part of digital art that fascinates many people. Most of us have at least one favorite animated movie, either from our childhood, or from the time that we were adult children. There is something about seeing a still image that was born from someone's imagination, come to life. Maybe it's because of this that many people want to try animation in some form or another. However, there's a good reason why in spite of this there are so few animations on DeviantArt: Animation is a lot of work, and it's difficult. Because of this, many people end up not trying, or giving up halfway. And I think that's a shame! So, f...

In this tutorial I'll include significant alterations with this brush...
A Guide to Timed Studies by Riemea, journal
A Guide to Timed Studies
Digital Art WeekIn this guide I'd like to introduce you to timed studies, including a guide on how to effectively do timed practise studies, as well as some do's and don'ts. What is a timed study? A timed study is exactly what the name suggests: a painting study done during a set time. That time limit can be anything from a few seconds to an hour or two, depending on what it is you want to practise. "Study" can mean: 1) from a reference image and/or 2) preparatory drawing for a "full" piece (to practise a certain element of the future artwork or as a way to experiment before beginning the "real" artwork). Usually reference images are invol...
Intro to Photobashing (Textures) by Gaidenlight, journal
Intro to Photobashing (Textures)
Digital Art Week Intro Photographs can be used in a variety of different ways to help speed up your painting process. Some example of these uses are: to get an initial color palette, to fuse multiple images together to create a new one, or to use a photo to add textures to forms you have already established on your canvas. Working with deadlines doesn't typically allow you time to spend 20 hours in rendering a painting to completion, especially when working on products that require near photo realistic level in details. This is just a basic guide to show you a few tools, to add some texture to forms in a quick and easy way. How to use Clip...
Bringing emotion through values by SarcasmNymph, journal
Bringing emotion through values
Landscape Art WeekendEvery painting has a feeling associated with it, a central theme, an emotion, a mood. However, when it comes to landscape paintings, the mood of the painting takes center stage. In a large setting, the mood is one of the fundamental ways you can grab the attention of your audience. This could mean the lighting, color palette, composition and of course subject matter. Now subject matter is often the most influential aspect and the main thing that will determine what mood you want to set for your painting. However, it is just as important to make sure that the rest of the elements compliment that mood rather than confli...
Basic Figure Drawing by Thiefoworld, journal
Basic Figure Drawing
Digital Art WeekIn this tutorial I'll show you the process of drawing people, using a base of basic shapes which can be used to draw different types of figures. The Base First, we'll create the base. For this, remember that in their most basic form, every person is composed by a head, a torso, and two legs and arms, so we're going to create a structure composed of simple shapes resembling these: Draw a circle, this will be the head. For the neck, simply draw two little lines at the bottom of the circle. For the torso, draw a rectangle beneath the neck. It doesn't need to be a perfect rectangle, in fact is best if it's slightly modified so ...
How to avoid common mistakes while drawing horses by Astralseed, journal
How to avoid common mistakes while drawing horses
Digital Art WeekHi everyone,
Today I'll be writing about how to avoid common mistakes while drawing horses.
If you're not used to drawing horses, or you haven't studied their anatomy extensively, you're likely to make one or more of these common mistakes. Let's learn how to avoid them so that your horse doesn't end up an eccentric mess like this guy below. (gif by @thetadonaldson) References This kind of applies to anything you intend to draw and not just horses, but I can't stress this enough so I felt the need to include this here.
When I talk about using references, I mean work from photos or real life. Please don't use other art...

Little Red Riding Hood
Traditional Art Introduction Who hasn't heard of Little Red Riding Hood? It is the story of a little girl with a red hood going to see her grandmother in the forest... yet she must be careful of the wolf. This tale has inspired many artists, and I welcome you to discover some of the traditional artworks from deviants and the stories on the same occasion.

All the Little Helpers by NykolaiAleksander, journal
All the Little Helpers
Traditional Art Basics "Where do I start?" That’s probably one of the most asked questions when it comes to drawing or painting. There is no real general answer to that, as the starting point depends on what you would like to sink your proverbial teeth into - landscapes, still life, portraits - and how much exposure you have had thus far to traditional mediums.Most people are comfortable with a pencil and paper, so usually, that is the first thing everyone goes for. And that is perfectly fine - in fact, it is ideal. Why? Because they are easy to handle, and easy to work with. At the beginning stage it doesn’t even matter what type of paper...
