Project Manip Mentor

*InertiaK:iconInertiaK: reports, March 5
Are you new to creating Art, specifically photo-manipulation? Have you ever questioned how someone did something and been truly inspired to learn? Have some tutorials left you more confused, or not given you all you desired? Or are you a person who has gained much from the DA community and grown into a wonderful artist with knowledge to share?

If you have answered yes to any of these questions, then please read further.

I've been blessed to be apart of the DA community for years, reading tutorials, receiving feedback though learning most things on my own as do so many other Artists.. Over time, we all expand in some form (and not just weight!) as we get older. However, like anything, some times it does help to have that extra push, words of encouragement or the know how on how to improve.

Manip Mentor is a Group that I have founded in the hopes of starting a Mentoring program for aspiring artists on DA who are looking to improve in some fashion, or are just starting out and are completely confused (and haven't we ALL been there?). The goal of Manip Mentor is to bring people together, those with some skill and those with minimal skills who are wanting to learn more.

The concept would ideally put One Mentor with three to five "students", and for a one month period those students will be given projects / themed artwork by that Mentor to create to follow up with extensive critique, Do-overs, mini tutorials and more in order to give examples of how the image could be improved. After one month, the session is complete and new students are taken on and the cycle begins again. Students who have “graduated” will then become Contributors and will be able to post one piece of art, per month to the Gallery to reflect improvements over time.

The Group is currently in beta (meaning I'm working on it!) but I'd like to get the word out there that both Mentors and students would be wonderful and are needed to make this work. It would mean some extra devotion of time on both parties, but the sheer satisfaction of helping out another along with it.

If you are interested in being a Mentor, please contact me / note me. The number of students / members accepted into the Group will depend on the number of Mentors we have, AND how many students they can take. Ideally I would love to get something going by the middle of the month.

While Manip Mentor is focused on Photo Manipulation and Digital Mixed Media, it could also be expanded into other groups and genres across DA. If you are interested in making your own Mentor Group, please let me know and we can set up an affiliation.

Due to the nature of the Club, Membership will of course be limited to what the Mentor’s can handle that month, however your application will be placed upon the waiting list and provided the Mentors have availability for the following sessions, you will then be placed accordingly.

This Group will have some rigid rules that need to be followed in order to make it work. If you are not prepared to do so, then please understand the group isn’t for you. It isn’t about popularity, there are plenty groups that can provide that! xD

For further information please visit :iconmanip-mentor: and read the articles in the blog.

Bare in mind the Group has just been initiated and is still very much in the start up stage.

(And this is my FIRST ever news article in the bazillion years I’ve been here, so if I did something wrong, I’m sorry! I need a “news” mentor!) J

Childabuse is one of the most serious crimes and something we should take more care of. This group wants to raise the Awareness for this urgent topic.
What can we do about that? One way is to raise awareness through ART.

YOU CAN HAS PROGRESS!

=gloomynekochan:icongloomynekochan: reports, September 16, 2009
Since I joined DeviantArt I've browsed through many an artists' page, wishing and hoping that I could draw like them, and sometimes losing hope in my abilities altogether. See, my dream is to become a graphic novelist or a character concept artist. I'm not formally taught in art, in fact I'm completely self-taught, which made me feel like I would never improve in what I did.
But it was funny how a simple piece of gift-art completely changed everything for me.

The minute I saw it, I wanted more than anything to be able to create something as amazing as that.
And thus began my amazingly quick progression.

And since I've been improving, I've been getting people say to me, oh I wish I could draw as well as you, or I'll never get that good.

Well to all those people who wish and doubt themselves I have one thing to say:

YOU CAN HAS PROGRESS!!!!
SERIOUSLY!!! You can do it! And to help empower those watchers of mine I drew this:

It shows my improvement in the last ten months. It shows my drive, my blood, sweat and tears. I WANT my dreams to come true. And so should you. So I have something to ask of you all, a project more like it.

I want you to redraw something that you're very proud of. Something rather old of yours....and I want you to re-draw it to the best of your ability and then post the two next to each other, because it's a lot easier to see your improvement when the old and new work is beside each other.

And when you're done with it, note me and I'll set up a giant news feature.

I think every artist needs a bit of a push of faith, needs that reassurance that they can be successful if they truly work their hardest.
So I hope you take something from this, and I look forward to seeing what you all come up with.
--Reminder, this isn't a contest. Just a way to help yourself and empower yourself. :3

Being self taught isnt a bad thing to be honest and hardly means you can never improve. Ive been a self taught artist all my life until four years ago when I went from traditional to digiatal media. And basically what I needed to go to school for was to learn how to exploit these new tools. My biggest asset is Im a vorascious reader. If I couldnt figure out something for myself I got a book on it, be it water color, airbrushing and now digital art. I study the work of my favorite artists and always and most importantly I keep working. Its the only sure way to improve.

Kudos on the rapid improvement there and keep up the excellent work!

The probability of a young man meeting a desirable and

Good iniative !
Well I suppressed my old drawing of DA a while ago, but I still have old drawing in my computer... Or on my walls XD;;
I improved like crazy in a few months too, I must say. Even if I'm not still as good as I would like. I'll improve more \o/
This news is really motivating \o/

    I did a progress chart of mine over the last four years already but I've not redrawn anything really old of mine. Actually, I'm redrawing a picture of the main character in my upcoming series again. But last attempt was only three months ago and the outcome is startling.

    I don't have it up yet, though. I'd love to show you when I get done painting.
