Digital art

Hello! I am taking a course on a tablet without a screen, drawing in Krita. Can my homework be reviewed for criticism? Or are only physical drawing tools allowed?

I think Uncomfortable addresses that on this page

Digital work can still be submitted for free community feedback, but our paid official critique program has stricter requirements in regards to the tools students are permitted to use.

If you attempt to do those exercises on that kind of screenless tablet you will just add an extra layer of difficulty to overcome. It's hard enough on paper already.

Uncomfortable recommends for the course to be taken with physical tools, specially fine line pens.

You can get free feedback in Discord, but for official it needs to follow the rules he states.

Below this point is mostly ads. Indie projects, and tool/course recommendations from us.
This section is reserved for low-cost advertising space for art related indie projects.
With how saturated the market is, it is tough for such projects to get eyes on their work.
By providing this section, we hope to help with that.

The Art of Brom

The Art of Brom

Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.

The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
