Hai people! Super long time no see (again) :XD: Welp, the summer is winding down finally over in my neck of the woods. My job as an art teacher at a summer day camp will be completed next week and I will once again have an unspecified amount of time where I will not be working after that (I've been going through this for how long now :XD:) Anyways, I completed the #100DayProject just under two weeks ago (images will be posted shortly, just gotta get em mass uploaded into sta.sh first).

These blogs will cover topics that are not commonly addressed in tutorials or articles existing here on dA. The goal is to help you out by answering questions you've had but couldn't find answers to. That being said, I decided to begin this series with a doozy of a topic: race. Yes, it's the hottest topic on the table right now according to the media, but this topic has always been a topic o
Art Tutorial: Mouth and Teeth
Community WeekHi guys! Learning to paint traditionally or digitally can be a challenge, but I want to help ease your burden a little bit by taking some of the edge off the learning curve! When painting the figure (that is, a human) digitally vs. traditionally the only thing that has changed is the medium. Let me say it again for the people in the back: the only thing that changes when you paint digitally versus traditionally is the medium.
