Your art is some of my favorite in this thread, and as someone whose never touched ink and hasn't drawn anything in like 10 years, I just wanted to let you know that you've inspired me to give it a try. This is probably a long shot, but are there any books / sites / tutorials you recommend for testing the water with ink and the associated techniques? I honestly don't even know where to begin.

Rendering in Pen and Ink is, I think, the gold standard book for line work. It doesn't cover washes, though.

Anyone know if the fixative spray used on painted miniatures (which my brother has a lot of) will work fine on drawings on paper?

 So, I actually got some new pen inks and I wanted to try them out. This is done with them, not terribly different from my normal ones, but I do like how they come out. Its for a webcomic thing btw, gota draw the arsenal.

I really like the composition of this. Particularly, the way that the birds help to lead into the negative space on the left. Also, the slightly darker shading of the man helps to draw your attention directly to him. Just curious, what are the dimensions of this?

I resized it on photoshop, took the birds which I drew on a separate page and put them there.

Nah, it looks pretty good from here - the colours are really popping, and the basic framing is interesting. Everything else is detail work which you can add to later. Shrink it to 1"x2" and you can see how well the basic idea works.

First attempt at screen printing: I think I needed to thin the dye before use. Still, dirt-cheap top, and it's not horrible as a prototype.

TheGreekOwl- Nice work in general, I'd like to see more decisive strokes. Looks a little bit muddy, maybe undefined. Smoother gradations maybe, blend the colors when you want to have transitions. I guess what I'm saying is it's all in the same "intensity"; that look has its place but in my opinion within an intentional spectrum of harder edge and softer transitions. Don't be afraid to ruin the painting with one fell stroke. I bought an airbrush and also a million stuff that you have to have that goes around the drat thing. Now I'm trying it out and experimenting.

I have a question for traditional artists: How do you practice making art? More specifically, I have been reading a thread about writing, and many people have been saying that you should write for at least 15 min every day for practice. So for traditional visual artists,what is the daily practice equivalent? Do you have different practices for creative work versus technical work?

So for traditional visual artists,what is the daily practice equivalent? Do you have different practices for creative work versus technical work? Depending on the artist, the equivelent would be to get a sketchbook and whip it out a few times each day, everyday, and draw something interesting that you saw or came in your head. Otherwise, it depends on the artist and the medium he works on. Certain artists practise from life only, others have tutorials, others copy other's works (for study purposes, not plagliarising) etc. Ask each indevidual how he does it and you will get a different answer. So, how do I practise.  This is the kind of the work I mostly do. First of all, I always have a sketchbook in hand and a mechanical pencil in which I draw in. If anything passes through my head or I see something interesting, I sit down and draw it, depending on how much time I have. After that, I do a couple inking exercises each day to warm me up. Don't want to get rusty on that. Finally, for color, every few days I sit down and do a couple of acrylic or watercolor exercises in order not to forget how colors work.

Personally, i'm all about keeping it varied - i'm not worried about improvement so much as keeping motivated, so I tend to come up with a "problem" and enjoy puzzling out how to solve it. Eg, how do I print my own t-shirts, how do I cast a resin chess set. My stuff is heavily towards the craft end of things, but I reckon the same would apply to anything - variety in order to keep motivated.

I quit my job for my physical and emotional health and decided to start painting more and doing various other crafty-bits. And as a result of having no income until my disability kicks in- I now have an etsy store. (I wont post the link unless someone asks so it's not blatant self-promotion.) I don't want to image dump too much just yet (mainly cause I dont want to piss y'all off) So sorry if it's too many  On a side note- how do you all take pictures of acrylics and have the colors be true to the painting?   (the detail on the robot one)

Congrats on the change! Keep at it. Here's some airbrush practice drawing. Also used some colored pencils and acrylic with a brush. Based on the previous sketch that's an homage to Shmorky's "installation wizard".

I've been working mostly in just digital lately, so I figured I should do some oil painting too so I don't become a one-trick pony (more than I am now, that is). This one's a work in progress, pretty happy with it so far:  And here's a finished piece I did a few days back:  Sorry about the fudgy quality, I took these with my phone's camera. I really dig AltruisticNemesis' Deadpool piece, it packs a nice punch. And grats on the change, hope you'll start feelin' better and GL with the Etsy business.

So left handers (at least the ones I know, incl. me) have a thing where they can't help but get the smear on the side of their hand and it makes a weird muddy blur appearance when using pencils and charcoal. Are you left or right handed? How do you not smear everything everywhere? (sorry for all the questions)

(sorry for all the questions) I'm right handed but I still keep a sheet of tracing paper between my hand and the drawing all the time when I work in graphite, I'd assume it works just as well for lefties.

Some smudging always happens, but I think I've mostly conditioned myself to keep my hand off the paper when I'm drawing, or if I do have to touch, I keep my hand fixed in place and don't drag it around. I picked up careful habits from working with india ink, it's kind of crushing to labor over some intricate crosshatched drawing for hours then ruin it with a big smear from wet ink on your hand.
