REAL CREATIVISM LOGA lot of people ask me what do i think when im drawing, whats your creative process, and what are the magical fairies you are thinking while you draw, about life, beauty and wisdom of the world. You will be surprised how thats not what i think while i draw and how this process repeats all the time while i draw.
The purpose of this journal its to let people know how we are all filled with doubts agony and stupid funny things while we draw. So you wont feel you are doing something wrong.
Will be cool if this became a spam, and people started to share in their journals the same way i did while you are at work.
Okay, lets star, first the setting, if you had seen the tv show 24, picture that way while im drawing, with several cameras on my sides, this will make the reading more funny, if you havent seen the show picture this sound each time you read time passes, while im drawing.

Making a contest?!Another contest
Well, I was thinking what would be that I make another contest... the last one I hosted 2 years ago (I think)... anyway, a long time ago. So I thought that it would be awesome to make another one, but a little different than last one. I have points, but I don't use them that much, so mostly I buy other people memberships. So I can use these points for the contest.
I thought to make a contest "Paint my OC". I have ton of original characters, so that can be possible. And the last contest had only 3 winners (fantasy contest), so this time I wanted to make 2 categories, so at the end there would be 6 winners. Yea

One category would be that you choose OC (or more of them) from my gallery and you draw them like you want. Another category would be "painting". I would give you linearts for download, so you would paint characters on the drawing. I would give more info later, if I decide to start this contest... of course, if you would be interested to enter

Why people think art should be cheapI mean some people even think that digital art should be cheaper than traditional, because there is no original.
Its funny when people ask tons of things in a drawing, like 30 characters fighting a 12 dragons, and they think they can get it cheaper than a pencil drawing, because in the computer there must be a secret brush that makes all of this in 2 hours.
Sadly, painted style in digital takes more time than traditional. Artists says its easier, because you have more control. But sadly textures are cooler in traditional, and easier.
I remember 4 or 5 years ago when started thinking bout digital, i said damn if i learn digital, i will skip drawings and paint directly, this will make my life easier, it will take me less time to finish a product, like i can even finish 3 drawings in just a day, yeahhh i should try that.
5 years later, i was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo wroonnngggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg.
So i used to think the same about speed, but not about price.
So wh

Wacom Horror Warning peopleI realized i just been living in a lie. Been coloring with the wrong icc profile for almost 6 years. Its because all this time i had a secondary monitor like 8 years old that ive never notice it. I just bought recently a cheap and amazing monitor 23 inches aoc, and noticed that my cintiq tablet colors looked washed away.
I asked myself why all my drawings in deviant art dont look like in my cintiq, they look washed away or burned.
Because of two problems.
I have all my files in adobe 1998 icc, which its good for printing but not web browsing, but the most horrible one, its that the cintiq21ux.icc that came in my cd was really wrong. Got the correct one in a wacom europe page, my cintiq its first generation, so new drivers sucked hard doesnt work.
Also warning for those that have same old cintiq like me, new drivers screw up the pen, cuts the pressure in half or gives weird pressure to it-, and worst ive been coloring with pen pressure wrong and color really bad.
I had been coloring bli

Beginning of an art journeyA couple of days a friend posted this on a note, he was really worried about an art thief, he also mentioned my style was copied, first i was surprised ive even had a style. So decided to look at this person gallery. Images are almost like a twin brother. But luckily im the evil twin brother.

So i replied to him that i didnt consider this a robbery. He say why?
Its because we all started in art from there, when i was a kid of 14 years old, i used to love dragon ball character, and i used to copy goku pose and change some parts, and call it my OWN. We all start copying what we like about something. It can be a hair cut, i can be clothing, it can be the same mecha toy other kids have.
Copying its always a cool way to

Part 1
THE NEXT THREE YEARS OF MY LIFE
I had received a job offer at Microsoft. I guess this could have been one of my first 'big time' jobs, so I was a little ecstatic. It felt like a slow build to get to this point, after numerous indie games and under the table freelance jobs, but finally it had come.
I was working with my now best friend and business partner, Stephan, a suave German who I had met only a year or so prior. He had brought me into the fray, working with several other individuals who will, well, simply be known as individuals for privacy sake.
But yes, finally, I could put a professional company I

Hope my language will not confuse you.

==========================================================
past time I've ever wonder that how could we measuring anyone successful?
Honour?rich,Pride or any factor that we use to measuring success
For me There're people ever asking me that.
Do you think you're successful yet?.It's hard to answering this
question because I success somany
thing but I don't think I'm successful.
Success is subjective.It's depend on people.
If you ask me,How could you measuring success.
I've to question you back.
What you really want in your life and what's the most thing you value?

If I were a citizen of the US...If I were a citizen of the US I would take this quiz: "http://www.isidewith.com/" to become educated about which presidential choice is the right one for me. I'm not american, but I still find it educative and the people who "don't care" should be banished. It's your future and the quality of your living conditions we're talking about. e_e
I guess I would be voting for Jill Stein for a good wellfare system. My results: "http://www.isidewith.com/results/26828122"

NOT ALL ABOUT THE NUMBERSfor the longest time i have been trying to be popular, doing every thing to get hight statistics. but from this week of not posting i have been thinking i have been striving to get big numbers but by doing that i have lost some of my creativity and imagination. i had such a big imagination to start out with, but i did learn a bit when i was in this stage in my life, in my coloring and drawing. but that is pritty much what i got from doing that. so im no longer really going after to be popular just to have fun drawing and to show the best i have in my imagination.
but from this week also was feeling a bit down to. and was thinking on not drawing agin. becose i felt i was not really getting any were in my art, putting things off try to get things done and not turning how i want it, procrastinating.
but i know how much my art means to some of my watcher, so doing that will be hard to do if i even wanted to try.
im probly in that artest slump agin and thinking every one is better then me,

Thank you for posting this article. I have read several documents on this subject already, but this one really gets to the heart of the subject. I also appreciate that there is a lot of practical knowledge here.

~mchameleonm Apr 18, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Here is a link that I've used in the past to determine quality/size/etc. The idea here is not so much the detailed explanation of, but rather straight-forward answers so sizing and PPI. Hope this helps as well!
