Printmaking produces images with visual qualities that are very different from those obtained through drawing or painting directly, and each technique adds its own peculiarities to the way each piece is conceived. However, with its odd and alchemical combinations of unusual materials, specific tools and enormous machines, Printmaking is often a strange and foreign territory even for artists accustomed to studio work on other disciplines.
A collection of traditional portraits from the DA! Traditional artists here have so much scope, talent and new insightful, inspirational work. Here are the ones I have come across, if anyone else has any suggestions feel free to comment or send me a note enjoy!
Watercolor art can be hard to find on DA, since the medium lacks its own designated section. Heres a sampling of some of the best watercolors Ive found on this site.
There's always lots of News Features about a variety of artists, genres and mediums designed to bring them to our attention. This one dives a little more specficically, down to the basics of pencil sketches.
Pencil sketches are often just as powerful as a full coloured picture and can hold a special life that just gets lost with cleaned up lineart (not to mention is probably the cheapest and most beneficial way to learn and practice). So often are pencil sketches hidden away in Scraps where few people venture so they aren't often out where we can see them. Here are some pencil sketches taken from my people I watch on DA, with few views, that I think are worth a second look.
Never forget, most of the beautiful pieces of art you see probably started out as little more than a pencil sketch.
I'll probably do another submission of this once I have more time to sift through the millions of wonderful pencil sketches DA artist's have to offer. Know of one that you really like? Think it's exceptional, beautiful, cool or just plain 'ol fun? Note me with the subject heading ' Pencil Suggestion '; and I'll add it to my list of possible future features
It's 'cause everyone's all "OMG MAKE IT SHINY WITH COLOR PLZ".
Heck, I myself have started coloring my art o.o Partially because it's fun (at first), and partially to learn more about shading and stuff >>;; (I have a harder time with pencil 'cause it smudges...)
Those pencilworks are really good, though. It amazes me what people can do with a simple, good old pencil O:

The guitar is a musical instrument with ancient roots that is used in a wide variety of musical styles. It typically has six strings, but four, seven, eight, ten, and twelve string guitars also exist.
`karemelancholia is one of the most genuine deviants you could ever met. Always active and a true deviantART cheerleader and supporter in every aspect. You can always count on her to lend a hand or get involved, and you usually will find her doing large amounts of both at any given moment. She's consistently reports on contests around dA, showcases the efforts of her fellow artists and shows her charitable side through various activities. Besides all of this, she's a truly talented artist which is why she's an obvious choice for deviousness this month. Read More
