I do cover art and design, contact me if you are interested in a commercial license for one of my current gallery pieces, or for a custom design. I do both digital art, and paintings. For examples you can see my own book covers at my writing blog, cedarwrites.com
A Photo Of My Day
Last year I did art every day of the year. It wasn't much, some days, if I didn't have the time or the energy for more than a quick doodle or sketch. But knowing that I had to post the art daily (I did miss a few days while traveling and having no internet, or when I was quite sick) pushed me to create. It was very fulfilling, sometimes tiring and frustrating if I had no ideas, and in the end I had a fantastic album full of art and memories.
This year, I didn't want to keep pushing the art. I'm not in school any longer (graduated! Yay! ) and am currently hunting a job, don't expect to be unemployed long, and am also reviving my writing. So I
Book Reviews
I do book reviews on my blog fairly regularly, but I'm just starting a series of them that aren't fiction books... I'm finally making myself look at all the art books I have on my shelves. I've been really bad about picking them up, shelving them... and then not using them. So I've started it off with some ebooks on digital art. Next week it will be something more traditional. This should be a good exercise for me, since I'm an unorthodox artist at best. http://cedarwrites.com/review-art-books-part-i/
What art books, print or ebook, do you recommend? Why?
Classes?
I want to learn how to do better art. I wrote about it today at my blog, http://cedarwrites.com/art-taking-the-next-step/
It seemed like this was a good place to ask: where are the best beginning tutorials to be found? Who is a good teacher of digital art, and where do I begin?
In the meantime, I'll always take pictures, and I will try to draw every day. Maybe even add color :D
Muddling Along
I was reminded today that I really don't know what I'm doing here. I mean, yes, I know why I'm here, a part of DA. I needed someplace to put art and photos so I could give a link to people who were interested in my portfolio, prints, what have you. This last year I've been slowly uploading a decade or so of photos (mostly) to the gallery. Dynoliaeth kindly pointed out that it's gotten overwhelming. Which it has, even to me. So... sorting into folders has begun.
But I keep getting this sense that I'm blundering along with the tip of the iceberg in sight, yet there is more here than I know. I haven't had time - likely won't have enough anytime
