To get featured, all you have to do is send one of the staff your drawing(s) and or your art shop, for a small fee of 500PD.

We will then update the thread ASAP. We change the featured every MONDAY, WEDNESDAY and FRIDAY.

So please, send us your drawings at those days, PH time!

● A R T - P R O G R A M S ●

● Today I'll be talking about the wonderful ●
● starter program known as... ●

MS Paint!
Now, most of you know what MS Paint is, but for those of you that don't know, MS Paint stands for Microsoft Paint. As the title suggests, it usually comes with all Windows computers. MS Paint is a good beginner Art Program because it has all the basic tools a beginner digital artist could need, and because it is very good for making pixels/sprites on!

My Opinions:

To me, MS Paint shows some beginner signs. For example, the background isn't transparent, so it usually has a huge white background behind whatever you've drawn (which looks a bit ugly in my opinion). Now, some people might tease you for using MS Paint by saying: "MS Paint noob!" "Wow, you don't know how to draw!" "MS Paint is a BEGINNER software!"
But, just remember, if you like to draw with MS Paint, no one can stop you. Just believe in yourself! Most people have started with MS Paint, so you can ask a lot of people about tips!

And that concludes my article on MS Paint! Remember, if you like what you see, be sure to tune in next week!

● In this section, I'll be giving some art tips! ●

[ ● P L E A S E - N O T E ● ]

[ ● These tips are in my opinion! ● ]
[ ● That means that my tips may not always help, or make sense or smth ● ]

D O ' S

● D I G I T A L ●

● When starting off an art piece, you should ● probably sketch what you think you're doing first. When you're done your sketch, lowering the opacity of the layer will give you a much cleaner look when
● you do your line work! ●

● When you start colouring, don't just put the ● colour first. Fill the area with a bright colour and fill in the spots that the fill bucket couldn't reach. It's really ● helpful if you are using a transparent bg! ●

● T R A D I T I O N A L ●

● When drawing traditionally, sketch the guidelines ● as light as possible. So that way, when you have everything sketched, you can simply erase the
● guidelines. ●

● When you're colouring your traditional drawing, ● lay down the base colour, and use your shading colour. To mix them, lightly colour the shading with
● the base colour. ●

D O N ' T S

● D I G I T A L ●

● Please don't try to draw everything in one layer ● QWQ
(Unless it's a challenge, then that's fine ^^)
But please don't when it's not an art challenge! It
● just looks messy, and just plain lazy. ●

● Please don't make a character have too many ● colours! It just hurts the eyes and isn't 'realistic' at all! Please calm down on those herra rainbow Oc's
● >.> ●

● T R A D I T I O N A L ●

● Please try to colour inside the lines and try to fill ● them in as much as possible! It just annoys me how people just lazily colour and scribble over the picture- ● >-< ●

Quote from The EAM Staff
Waffle: Welcome everyone! Today we're interviewing Lillypie! What art do you do?
Lillypie(Lilly): I do spiriting and traditional :3
Artzy: When did you start doing digital and traditional art?
Lilly: I have been doing traditional for 6 years, and spriting for about 6 months.
Waffle: What struggles have you been through when doing art?
Lilly: Well, in traditional, I quite often have to erase and start over. In spriting, I have trouble sometimes getting the proportions correct.
Waffle: What advice do you have for people new to spriting and drawing traditionally?
Lilly: Spriting: PROPORTION IS KEY! Always try to make the sprites realistic sizes, and NEVER RESIZE!

Traditional: TAKE YOUR TIME! Especially if you want something truly realistic.
Waffle: If someone needs advice, criticism, or needs something drawn for them, how should they contact you?
Lilly: PalPad or PM! :3
Waffle: Can you show us some examples of your spriting and traditional art?
Lilly: This is just a basic recolor :3
I drew this last week
Waffle: What do you think of the EAM and would you recommend it to your friends?
Lilly: Sure!

Waffle: That was Lillypie everyone! Please give her nice PMs and PalPad messages! Make sure to read next week's newspaper to see the next interview!

So please consider SUBSCRIBING to this thread for the latest news in Art! Thank you!
